My Stamping Garage

Sneak Peek from the 2017 Holiday Mini Catalog!

Our Stampin' Up! Incentive trip to Thailand was amazing!!  It was hot and humid, but beautiful! 

Not only were we treated to this amazing resort and some awesome excursions, but we were also given some great pillow gifts! Many of the pillow gifts involved new products from the upcoming Holiday Catalog!

I literally left home 3 days after returning from Thailand to fly to the back to the Midwest to visit family for 3 weeks. That is where I am right now. I did take the time to make a couple of samples using the "toys" we were given in Thailand. Here is one of those samples: 

 

This sample was made using the new Painted Harvest stamp set.  I really like this set because although it contains images intended for fall, It can be used for almost any season. I plan to play with this set a bit more when I return home. I think this flower stamp will also make amazing poinsettias! Stay tuned for more samples in a couple weeks when I return home and have time to give this a try!

 

Thailand at last!

I am so blessed to have earned an amazing all expenses paid trip for my husband and me to Thailand from Stampin' Up! 

At first, I was not sure I wanted to go on such a long plane ride to get to Thailand. Thankfully, my husband told me I was crazy, and that we definitely needed to go. I am so glad that I listened! It is beautiful here, and even better, we are here with our Stampin' Up! friends from around the world!

This is a picture I took yesterday after a long walk on the beach.

We had our General Session this morning, and we got to see a lot of the new products that are coming in the new Holiday Catalog this year. They are fabulous!

Stampin' Up! also announced the destination of the 2019 incentive trip! 

It will be a Royal Caribbean Cruise to the Greek Isles, departing from Venice!! The Greek Isles have been at the very TOP of my bucket list for many years! I am so excited!
