Trip photos of London & Norway

I thought I'd share a few photos of our trip to London and the Norway cruise we just returned from.  The cruise was this year's Incentive trip courtesy of Stampin' Up!  There were over 300 achievers on this trip: I am so proud to be one of them! To stay within direct sales compliance I need to add that this milestone is not typical for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators actually achieve this extraordinary result.

We spent a few days in London before starting the cruise to Norway.  

The first day we did a food tour in Soho, London. We love doing food tours – besides tasting local favorites we learn a lot about the area from our guide.  I highly recommend doing one when traveling.  

This is Chinatown in London.

We had a steamed bun filled with barbecue pork inside.  It was really tasty and so unusual!

Our last stop was for desert.  These are lemon twists from a local patisserie.  The outside is white chocolate. So delicate and yummy.

Below is a huge tiled wall of the history of Soho where we toured.

The next day we did a personal tour of London where our driver took us anywhere we wanted to go.  My friend Dawn Olchefske and our husbands enjoyed a relaxing drive all over the city.  Below is Big Ben.

This is our driver, David.  He let me sit in his black cab for a photo.  The steering wheel was on the right!

One of our favorite things was a gondola ride in Olden, Norway.

I am not a fan of heights but for some reason this didn't bother me. We traveled up the mountain over 1000 feet in just 5 minutes!  Here's a view of us at the top:

This was one of the many, many waterfalls we saw while cruising the fjords in Norway.  It was amazingly beautiful!

We had a wonderful time on this trip – seeing the sights, visiting with our friends & being pampered! We are very glad to be back home.  But we miss the food we didn't have to cook ourselves and the room steward who cleans our room each day!

Back to reality!

    Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

    May Sharon in color Save

    The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion.  I love how she used them as the focal point of her card.  She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers.  She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer. 

    She added even more dies to the inside!

    Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.  

    May Marla Beautiful Motifs Save

    She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects. 

    Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here.  Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge.  Genius!  

    The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here.  And even her gems are from this suite! 

    Here's the inside view.

    The new 2025-27 in colors are Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea and Timid Tiger. The greetings are inked in Secret Sea ink, stamped off once first.  Same with the flower centers. I used Lemon Lime Twist CS for my leaf die-cuts.  The embossing folders are Soft Waves 3D and Dotted Circles 3D. 

    These are my two favorites; Strawberry Slush & Secret Sea.
