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!

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!

  • Origami card fold with Flowers for Every Season with video

    Here's another card I made on FB live last week using the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper.  It's an origami fold that creates a perfect place for your stamped image in the center. 

    Origami fold Magenta. Save

    It starts out with a 4 1/4" piece of designer series paper and you place it on a score board on the diagonal so the points are at 3" on the top and the left.  You can do this with a paper cutter too.  See here or watch the video below: 

    July 14th Origami Save

    Then you score at 1" and 1 1/2".  Rotate it and do this on all sides.  Fold as shown.

    The stamped White layer inside is 2 7/8" square.
