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!

  • Stack, cut & shuffle card with Gathering Together DSP – free project sheet too!


    Here’s another beautiful autumn themed card I shared on last week’s Live video.  

    Have you ever made a triple stack, cut & shuffle card?  It’s a great way to make multiples of a card layout and use your designer paper.  Simply cut three different patterns of designer paper at 3 3/4″ X 5″.  Stack them together and cut all at the same time.  This way they’ll all fit together well once you shuffle them into 3 piles. What’s neat is that you don’t really have to measure your cuts! Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

    The designer paper here is the new Gathering Together seen here. It’s gorgeous with Champagne foil accents. This paper is part of our Online Exclusives.  To see all of these just released new items click here.  Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer 

    My colors include Early Espresso, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  The greeting and stamped die-cuts are from the Gathering Moments bundle seen here. The greeting die-cuts are from the Traditional Labels dies seen here. They’re my new favorite set of label dies!  

    I created a free project sheet for this card.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Gathering Moments Stack & Shuffle card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and a neat fun fold card.  I hope you try making these stack, cut & shuffle cards!

  • Center pop-out Fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    This fun fold card I’m sharing today is super fun to open and to make.  It looks like a normal card from this photo: 

    But look how it opens!  The center pops out for a nice surprise.  

    My colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Basic Beige.  The designer paper is from the Gathering Together pack seen here.

    I used the Branching Out stamp set for the greeting and the fabulous new Traditional Labels dies seen here.  

    In the photo below you can see the scored bridge strip that pops out the center.  To understand how to assemble this card please watch the video below.  It will make sense then!
