Frostwood Lodge ...

Hi Stampers :

Happy Tuesday friends !

Here is the bag I decorated for Pat ( Jessie's Boyfriend) inside  was a gift card holder that held a gift card to Bass Pro Shop.

I used the Frostwood lodge designer paper # 124002

I also used the Early Espresso card stock #119686  and also the Scallop Trim Border punch # 118402

I also used the Cherry Cobbler  3/8" Quilted Satin ribbon #124105 to tie the bag shut . 

I also attached the paper star ornament  to the bag  which I have a video  on how to make that HERE.

Have a Fabulous Tuesday friends !

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Today's cruise photos are  some of the projects  we  got  to see on the  ship in the Stampin'Up! Hospitality room .

 The Hospitality room  is where SU!  headquarters was set up .  This is where  we droped off our fishies each  day  for  a spin at  the  Stampin'Up! wheel with  lots of prizes  check out the wheel . Just like Wheel of Fortune  Hee! Hee! 

 The Hospitality room  we also got  to   see  display boards of  card samples , scrapbook pages  and  so many other fabulous  things that  other demonstrators  made.

SU! also had extra cover ups  that we could purchase .

 I also  called  this place the hook up room  cause  once in the hospitality room  you  were bound  to run into some of your  SU!  friends . 

I had So much fun  spinning  the wheel.  On Friday I  landed on Wild Card  and  had my  choice  of what  free item I wanted  to pick  out myself .

 I still have  so many photos  to share  with you hope  you  don't  get tired of seeing them .. next week I will share  photos of friends  and a M&T session   I was  invited to by my  friend PJ. Oh and lets not  forget all the FOOD!! Yup got  some photos  of  the lovely  food  too   Stay tuned .

Have a Fabulous Saturday  friends .

 Until later.. Happy Stampin!  

2010 Cruise photos part 2

Hi Stampers :

Click HERE  to view cruise photos

When we entered our cabin  the 1st thing  that greeted us was this incentive trip magnet on the door . 

Then  once inside 8 BIG bottle of water with this adorbable water bottle was waiting  for us .

Here are just a couple of the fabulous Pillow gifts  we received  on the cruise from Stampin Up!.

Each night after dinner we were  blessed with  so many wonderful goodies . I am confused on the exact nights and what gifts we received  as pillow gifts . It all seems  to blend together  right now .

BUT I do remember  we received this backpack for Jessie  and matching wallet  for me the 1st night   which matches  the  clutch and luggage tags we got in the mail before our cruise  you  can  view that HERE

 The Friday night all the demonstrators  all got the matching purse / bag Oh my  goodness  I have  to tell you  Jessie and I were already fighting over who was going to use it 1st :) 

BUT My  awesome Up up up up up line Mary Ammar  at Dinner  the last night  brought her purse and wallet and said she couldn't  fit it in her luggage  and  was wondering if anyone would like  to have  it ..

HELOOOOOO  Oh my  goodness  what a Blessing  when Mary gave it to Jessie .

Jessie was sooo excited  and I seriously  wanted  to cry ...  I told Mary  we would take it back  with us and I would send it  to her  when we got home But she insisted  that   the bag  really wasn't her style  and  that she didn't want  me  to do that .  Thank you  so much Mary.

Each night we had a Fishy  which we were to fill out with our information  and take down to the  hospitality room  for SU! and  take a spin at a wheel for even more goodies  which I received  so many fabulous items all from the  new sumer mini . YAHOO!!!   

• Simply adorned bracelet
• Designer paper Island Oasis
• Designer paper Travel Journal
• On board book ~Briefcase
• Mini vintage tags

Speaking of the Summer mini  did you see the new quick highlight video from SU!? This video  highlights  a few new goodies   from  the  new summer mini (check that video out below )

Also a few items have been carried over from the Occasions mini which are still available which you  can view  that list of items HERE  

Then  we all got a goody package   with a Brand new stamp set  called Printed Petals  with the Bitty buttons# 118761( summer mini ) , Itty bitty shapes punch # 118309 ( summer mini), versa mark ink pad , Chocolate Chip and Old Olive ink pad .

We got to use all the goodies  for our midnight make & take  session ..  which by the  way I wore my PJ's  to this midnight  stamping  event ..OH what fun !

 One other cute  thing SU! did was the SU! corporate team members had a name tag  with a stamp set below their name  and when someone mentioned or said "Isn't that a stamp set? to them  Then  they gave  you a slip of paper with  the stamp set name and  you  got to cash in the slip for that stamp set .. It was  such a secret most didn't know  about it .. that is until the word got out .. Pretty sneaky huh? 

 I got my free stamp set  from Sara ( you  all know Sara  right ? from my workshop of a lifetime HERE  .. Sara is Shelli's daughter)  and  she had All in the Family on her name tag and thats  the set I got :) YAHOO!!

Her hubby had All the in the Family Accessories  stamp set  But I went  with Sara's instead  since we were only allowed 1 free set.. I did notice  Shelli had Vintage Vogue on her name tag . 

 

Until later... Happy Stampin!

P.S I am almost caught up on  all your orders  so hopefully  by the end of tomorrow  everyone's Thank you notes  and  FSM tokens  will be on their way  to your mailbox  .. YAHOO I am so excited  that so many of  you  have reached  your 10 FSM  tokens and  you all know what that means :)

AMAZING 2010 Cruise part 1 ..

Hi Stampers:  Click HERE  to view cruise photos .

Jessie and I made it back and  WOW what an amazing time  we both had .  We both didn't want it to end 

I really  have  so many photos  to share  with you  so lets  start with  our 1st glance at our ship inside  then on to our  fabulous  room.

Adventure of the Seas  was the name of our  cruise ship and it was sooo AMAZING!!

Our room  was perfect  for us . Midnight  seemed  to be the perfect time for Jess & I  to go to bed  & some nights were even later  than  that . 

Each night  after dinner  we came  back  to our  room  with  a pillow gift from SU! ( will share those fabulous gifts  with you  later) and  fresh  towels  and  a super cute towel animal( see photos) .

Our cute critters  even sported my sunglasses  and flip flops  sooo stinkin  cute ..

SU! had given us 8 bottles of water  for our room  and we just about drank all of them .WHEW it was one HOT HOT HOT vacation :)

Our Ship had 14 floors  and each one had so many  wonderful things  to do and see .

The  top floor had  the in line roller skating , miniature golf , basketball court , Rock wall  and so much more .

 Jessie even got to ice skate on the ship, That was so cool !

Ok now on to my Most favorite part of the ship ...the Pool ~OH YEA!  We  went to the pool every single day and it was even better  since  we got to hang out  with all my stampin friends and chat with Shelli   while getting a tan :)

 Lets not  forget about all the FOOD! Oh my  goodness  the  report  that was told  to us at our formal night of dinner was The ship had 150 tons ( YES 150  tons) of food  on the ship  and well we all know where  that went Hee! Hee! Yes I have  already  felt my withdraw  from eating  24 hrs  a day . 

I can not even begin to tell you how wonderful our cruise  was . I want to send a BIG HUG to SU!  for this Amazing  trip  that was so Awesome  .

The only  thing that would have made it perfect is if my hubby would have been there to enjoy  it with us  .  

I have been getting caught up on making  your Thank you notes  for your orders  while I was away ( Thank you so much ) and getting  caught up on  emails  and reg  things like unpacking & laundry  and  etc..   More photos tomorrow.

Until later... Happy Stampin!
