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!

  • You are Remarkable card in a clean & simple style with video & free project sheet


    I created this pretty card with the new 'You Are Remarkable' stamp set from our Online Exclusive offering. 

    I was going for a clean & simple look since that's our March Team swap theme.  I just received this pretty stamp set and love the 2-step & distinktive set a lot!  See this stamp set here. 

    My colors include Black, White, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. The embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and is from the Annual Catalog. 

    I also used the new Textured Notes dies for the stitched rectangles.  These are incredible!  See them here:

    On the video I changed the card a bit from the original on the left. Which do you prefer?  How many differences can you spot?

    Here's the free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download You Are Remarkable Hello

    Below is the video with this card and another pretty fun fold card using the new Arches dies.

  • Delightful Wishes fun fold card swap


    Look at this beautiful card Paula made for last month's card swap. The theme was to use circles. 

    She used the Floral Delight suite (seen here) which includes the following products:

    • Delightful Wishes bundle seen here
    • Floral Delight DSP
    • Bees Trinkets *unavailable right now 
    • Floral & Gingham Vellum

    It's a super neat fun fold with two opening flaps. 

    Here are the measurements:

    • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Cut off the upper left flap diagonally. 
    • second flap 8 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored at 4 1/4"
    • two pieces of DSP 5 1/4" X 4", one cut in half diagonally. 
    • Crushed Curry CS 4" X 3"
    • inside White 4" X 3"

    Some of my favorite things about this card are the circle greetings, the die-cut vellum flowers, the little bees and the bright & springy colors.  Thanks for creating this incredible card Paula!

  • Striking Botanical Textures card kit or tutorial; Black & White with pops of color!


    Many of us love Black & White designer series paper and the new Botanical Textures DSP fills that need.  I love adding pops of color to the Black & White colors!  Here is another new card kit option for March: 

    Many of the cards are fun fold layouts.  Reserve your pre-cut card kit or choose the PDF tutorial option.  

    This kit includes the following:

    • 10 pre-cut cards with die-cuts and punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg. Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (6" X 12)
    • a share of 1/4" White ribbon
    • a share of new Neutral Matte dots
    • the PDF tutorial with measurements, step by step directions, photos and a supply list

    The PDF tutorial will be sent to you via email immediately after payment; please check your junk mail.  The pre-cut kit and product will be mailed out at the end of March, barring any product supply issues. 

    You'll need adhesives, a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP, greeting images, adhesives & Black ink.  I used the So Sincere stamp set for my greetings; but you can substitute others easily. 

    This pre-cut kit costs $31 plus shipping and is found here.  

    The PDF tutorial includes step by step instructions, photos, a supply list and measurements. This tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.
