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.

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! 

Save

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!

• Neat Z-fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  February 17, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a neat Z-fold card that's a little different than usual.  I chose to feature the new Mixed Media Floral designer paper from our Online Exclusives line.  You can see it here.  

  Save

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, White & Calypso Coral. The left card above has a 4" square of DSP as the main panel. On the right card I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and added them over a printed blue panel that resembles sky. 

  The greeting is from the SAB Heart Shaped bundle; the die-cut is from the Mixed Label dies and the Coral piece is punched using the Labeled with Love punch.

  You can see how it opens in the photo below: The card base is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and there's a full 11" X 4 1/4" scored layer above it.

  These eye catching cards are all fancy folds. You'll make 2 each of the 5 card designs. Who doesn't love adding a few new fold ideas?  The great thing is you'll have samples in hand to case later.

  No stamping is needed with this awesome Ephemera pack. They're all printed in Black & White and ready to add to your projects. You can sponge the edge, use markers to color or leave them as is.  They're a wonderful deal – 2 of each sheet for $7. 

  The pre-cut kit includes all card bases, layers and punched or die-cut pieces.  You will need a paper trimmer for your new DSP.
