Pocketing Memories from Mexico

The Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip* to Mexico was more marvelous than I even imagined! It’s a memory I will treasure and enjoy for years to come, so today I printed my photos and while the details are still fresh, I’m putting them into the album SU! generously gifted us at parting:

*Results aren’t typical- less than 1% of demonstrators earn the Incentive Trip each year. But even if it takes you 32 years (like me!) it’s worth the effort!

The 6″ x 8″ album didn’t come decorated like this…I embellished it with memorablilia collected along the way! The note that came with a set of luggage tags before we left home became the front focal point, the lanyard for our name tags is wrapped around and since rubber stamps got me to this adventure, I picked up a stamp for the Mayan symbol of 4 directions at the Cancun Mayan Museum gift shop.

Watch how I’m using pocket pages to add my photos and the new Ephemera packs to add fun details to every page:

A package of pages and an album are LESS THAN $20 – just IMAGINE what a great gift this would be for a graduation, a family vacation or birthday!

Here are the supplies I used (not including the card stock strips on the front of my album) so you can order them ASAP for your next celebration: You may want to order an extra to have on hand at this price!

If you aren’t interested in my vacation pics, now’s the time to move along- but for those who want to see the highlights of this incredible experience, have a look-see!

If you ever have the opportunity to stay at Hotel Xcaret Mexico…SEIZE IT! As Cody said, “I didn’t even know there were places like this.” We also visited Tulum and Chichen Itza on different days. I met some demonstrators that I admire at the First Time Acheiver’s reception, along with the opportunity to visit with beloved Stampin’ Up! leaders.

We were also gifted a photo package which we used at the Xcaret Mexico park and the Xenses park: It was genius to be able to swipe your wristband and have a personal photographer of all of the adventures!
