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!

  • Last of the Clean & Simple Team swaps!


    Today I'm sharing the last of the March Team swaps with the Clean & Simple theme.  No designer paper!

    Lori created with pretty card with the Linked Together bundle seen here. 

    This bundle has stamps, dies and masks which is how she created her background.  All using Bubble Bath ink! 

    I love her soft background and the die accents she added by the greeting.  Just gorgeous!  

    Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She chose to use the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  

    She also stamped a soft background behind the flower using the Elements of Text set.  Her color include Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake with a bit of green on the leaves.  

    I love how she stamped the inside; that bee is adorable. 

    And lastly is this beautiful all White card made by Jonna.  

    White on White is hard to photograph; I wish you could see how elegant it is in person!  

    She used the Seaside Wishes bundle along with a bunch of score lines on the left side. This little touch anchors the seashells wonderfully!  

    I hope you've enjoyed seeing my talented team swaps this month!

  • More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s


    I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible! 

    Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper.  This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers! 

    First up is Karen's card which is just her style: 

    She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread.  Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.  

    Next is a stunning card made by Paula.  She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

    Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.  

    Just gorgeous Paula!!

    And look at the incredible card Jacki made!  

    She used the Friends for Life dies and the Waves 3D embossing folder.  Simply White with a pop of Black for an elegant look. 

    Next is Joan's monochromatic card featuring the Coffee with Friends stamp set:

    She used Pecan Pie and colored the images in with watercolor pencils.  Beautifully done!  

    I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!

  • Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme


    This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March.  Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper! 

    First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.  

    She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp.  This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.  Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured.  Gorgeous!

    Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

    She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals.  Well done!  

    Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card: 

    She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here.  Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple!  Good job Kim!

    Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.  

    Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue.  She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over. 

    Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring.  Love that tail!  

    More swaps will be shared tomorrow!
