Alaskan Trip Achievers Blog Hop…Onstage 2018





Welcome to the Alaskan Trip Achiever's Blog Hop.  This Blog Hop is done by the top Stampin’ Up! demonstrators….those who earn the Incentive Trip!!  Our theme this month is all about our recent Stampin’ Up! Conference called Onstage!!  Onstage is a conference held twice a year in several locations all around the world attended by demonstrators all around the world!  So today…I am going to show you some of the highlights from my trip. 
Our nearest location was in Milwaukee WI.  Just an 1 1/2 hrs. away!  We are so lucky here in WI….Onstage is usually near by for us!
We started out our excursion with a special invitation to an evening for top demonstrators called Center Stage.  Since Stampin’ Up! is celebrating their 30 year anniversary….the theme for the evening was the 80’s.  I have been blessed to be with the Company for 21 of these 30 years!!   Many demos (not me Sad smile..I’m a party pooper!) dressed up in an 80’s theme….including our founder Shelli Gardner!!
