Alaskan Achiever’s Blog Hop! New Holiday Catalog!

Hello Stampers!!
And welcome to our Alaskan Achievers Blog hop for August 2018!  This month we are showcasing either highlights from our Stampin’ Up! cruise to Alaska and / or products from the upcoming, fabulous Holiday Catalog.
I have chosen to do a little of both!
We had a wonderful time on our Stampin’ Up! Alaskan Cruise!  We always took our kids on Stampin’ Up! cruises when they were little…..but then they became busy with school and sports…and finally they grew up, graduated college and now they are available to join us again!  So this was the first time we  were able to take our adult children on a Stampin’ Up! cruise.   This time my daughter Anna and her fiancé Randy joined us!   What a great time we had!
Beautiful scenery….
 

Awesome adventures….


Wonderful days…..

and relaxing evenings…


 Of course we had stamping and demonstrations…..


And always a Stampin ‘ Up! trip favorite….are the PILLOW GIFTS!   Each night when we come back to our room, there is always a lovely gift from Stampin’ Up! on our bed.   We are super spoiled!!!
Here are all the gifts we received this year….


So onto my card sample……this come from the All is Bright Suite from the new Holiday Catalog!  It is one of the wonderful pillow gifts we received called Merry Christmas to All Bundle.


And here is my card….a fun fold!

Super easy card with a flap.  The background Designer Paper is another of our gifts ….called All is Bright!   One side has beautiful photographed Christmas images and the other side is versatile neutral backgrounds.


The “Merry” is just one of four phrase framelits in this bundle.  There is also “Happy, Holidays,and Christmas”   and then the stamp set has a multitude of phrases to match the greetings.  The possibilities are endless!! All are perfect for the front of this card.

And here is the inside!!   This card is nice and thin…when you have to make a “bunch”!   And you don’t ever have to worry about postage with this one!

Now it is time to check out all the other wonderful creations on this blog hop.....Happy Hopping!!!






until next time…..
