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!

  • Happy New Year! Who’s ready for new product?!

    Happy New Year!!!  It's officially 2021! 

    In some ways I cannot believe the actual year.  When I was young I thought we'd have flying cars by now and would have people living on the moon!  Ha!

    I've been playing with lots of new product lately; getting ready for my New Catalog BOGO event on Tuesday, January 5th.  I thought I'd share a silly card featuring a few new products with a little play on the end of 2020.

    Darling Donkey 2021 Save

    The cute donkey is from a stamp set called Darling Donkeys and it's a free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order.  I colored him in with Blends markers.  The card is Crumb Cake and the confetti & number die-cuts are in Pacific Point, Bumblebee & Magenta Madness.

    Darling Donkeys Save

    Woo hoo!! Sale-a-Bration & the new 2021 Spring Catalog officially start on Tuesday, January 5th!  

    Products Used:

    • The fun confetti die-cuts are from the Dandy Wishes dies in the new 2021 Spring Catalog; I love this retro style! 
    • The numbers are from the Playful Alphabet in the annual catalog; you get 58 dies for just $34.
    • The greeting is from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's in a bundle with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (scalloped rectangle used here.)

    Have a wonderful New Year's weekend everyone!

  • Life is Beautiful fun fold cards with video!

    Here are the two cards I made on FB Live last week.  I had to ink up my Life is Beautiful stamp set one more time. Sadly it's retiring on January 4th.  

    Life is Beautiful Posy Save

    This first card is made with Purple Posy & Gray Granite.  I cut off 1 1/2" from the front layer to reveal a bit of the inside.  I used the Stamparatus to stamp both the tree and greeting at the same time.  I love it for mass producing!  Perfect every time!

    I used Highland Heather ink for the bokeh dots in this set; stamped off a few times.  That neat texture is a new folder in the upcoming Spring catalog called Painted Texture.

  • Oh So Ombre cards; quick & easy with my 2-cut template!

    Check out these cute cards made with the upcoming Sale-a-Bration FREE designer paper called 'Oh So Ombre'.  I created them on my Stamp with Me FB Live Monday night.  I created a template to chop up a piece of designer paper into 4 pieces. See the video below.

    It's a pack of 48 sheets in 6 X 6" size with beautiful colors & patterns with a gradual color change.  One side is smooth and the other features the fun dots.  

    You'll be able to earn this paper pack FREE with a $50 order during our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It starts in just 6 days and runs from January 5th – February 28th, 2021.

    I made these 3 cards with the Dandy Garden Designer Paper (another sneak peak; from the 2021 Spring Catalog) with my template seen below.  

    Dandy Garden FB Live Save

    Start out with a piece of double sided Designer Paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it into 4 pieces using the template below.  Then, mix & match your pieces on a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.  

    Tips:

    • This is easiest if you use patterns without a direction on them; such as flowers that grow up from the bottom or words. 
    • Choose one pack of DSP that coordinates well and cut 2-3 pieces in a variety of patterns.  It's fun to mix & match them.
