More Stampapooloza Cards

These four cards were designed by Jean. Some are totally Jean originals and some were made with an assist from Pinterest. Jean has been my very dear friend for the last 30 years. We are both Accountants and worked together at The Principal Financial Group. Jean is still there and is an officer at the company. She works very hard running the Commercial Real Estate Debt Accounting, Reporting and Operations teams. After working so hard, she likes to come to my house to use the other part of her brain and be creative. We usually spend a couple hours most weekends, both walking and stamping. If you regularly read my blog you know Allison. Well, Jean is Allison’s Mom. 🙂

Don’t you love these cards? Please leave a comment at the top of the post and tell Jean which one if your favorite.

After you see all these cards, you will probably want to join us at our next Stampapooloza on Saturday, February 23. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend.

Can you see the pearls on the tree? I love all her cards, but this one if my favorite. 🙂 Jean helps me design a lot of the cards you see on my blog.

Spirited Snowman

I’m hosting this week’s challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog. Do you have Enamel Dots in your stash? If so, it’s time to make a card, 3-D item or scrapbook page and add a few Enamel Dots to your design. Then head over to Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and add your picture. Never entered a challenge? Never fear, I’ll help you get it done. Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com. I get it, I made cards for about 12 years before I ever entered a challenge. It’s pretty fun, and so exciting though when you win a challenge. Ask Ruth Sollberger and Marcelyn Churchill, I encouraged them to enter a challenge and they’ve both won some. 🙂

Are you wondering why I’m making Snowman cards in October? Well, it’s Oct 14 and it snowed in Iowa today! I took this picture while it was snowing, but you can’t see the snow. You can see four of my raised gardens. They are still going strong and not ready for winter. Before it freezes we usually put tarps over the gardens and the hoops hold them up.The small square garden in front is my herb garden. Another reason I try to prolong the growing season is, I like to use my own fresh Rosemary and Sage when I host Thanksgiving. It’s over a month away so they might not make it this year. 🙂

I had such a wonderful week! Our dear friends, Debbie and John Gorman, were here visiting from Alabama. It had been two years since we’d seen them. Debbie and I spent one day by ourselves, having all the fun we could think of! Love you both and see you soon!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Sprig Punch Wedding Card

We had an extra fun wedding last week, because I’ve been friends with both the mother of the groom and mother of the bride for years. The groom’s Mom wanted me to make a card for her to give with Galatians 5:22-23 and pears-as in perfect pair.

Galatians 5:22-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

The wedding invitation had greenery in a wreath, so I used the new Sprig Punch and made a wreath in similar colors. If you don’t own this punch yet, you should consider getting it.

I used the Gold Foil-Edged Card and Envelope and lots of gold on the card because I found out at the bridal shower that the bride loves the color gold.
