Travel Journal with On the Go Suite

June 16, 2025Leave a comment

Welcome to another Sweet Suite SIMPLE Summer Stamping project: A D.I.Y. Travel Journal crafted with the Stampin’ Up!®️ On the Go Suite Collection!

This easy-peasy book began with an inexpensive composition notebook that I covered with the travel-themed On the Go Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®️

Crafting with a suite of products, like the On the Go suite takes the stress out of choosing colors or finding coordinating items, because it’s all done for you…even down to the matching puffy stickers and colored twine for the tags!

The puffy stickers really add a level of whimsy and fun!

Remember to stamp the top of each page with the date stamp, and your journal is ready for adventure:

I’ve got measurements and tips to make this project speedy and fun~ watch the tutorial:

The On the Go suite collection is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE group of products AND is also ideal for scrapbooking all travel adventures.

The suite – and each product of the suite – is BOGO50 during June:

Pocketing Memories from Mexico

May 13, 2024Leave a comment

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!

Traveling with Stampin’ Friends

March 28, 2024March 28, 2024Leave a comment

Stampin’ Up! offers a reason to travel with friends: Two weeks ago, a few of my Sprinkled Ink team (& friends) flew to Houston, Texas for OnStage (the SU! version of convention). We went a day early and did a bit of sightseeing at the Cockrell Butterfly Center, followed by lunch at our new favorite mediterranean restaurant “Fadi’s” (there is *always* good food involved on vacation).

The next few days were filled with fun like stamping, learning, greeting friends from all over the world, celebrating milestones, eating more good food, winning Prize Patrol, hearing the vision and strategy of the company, seeing the new catalog and enjoying (enduring?!) so much togetherness!

This was the card I created to trade with other demonstrators using the Filled With Happiness bundle (I will show how to create this fun-fold in a future video). Swapping is an essential part of stamping events, and I came home with 30 different samples to display at upcoming events.

It’s fun to feel spoiled by all the SWAG you receive at these events~ I snapped this photo at our hotel of the amazing backpack and gifts we received on check-in. In addition, we took home rubber stamps, Designer Series Paper, a color wheel and the catalog (it’s important to leave extra room in your luggage for all the goodies)!

Next year, OnStage will be in Raleigh, NC (March 2025) and I’m already looking forward to it! What would you suggest are things we MUST SEE in/near Raleigh? Best food?

Would you like to come with us? There is room at our table for more stamping friends… invest in yourself with a Starter Kit and we’ll happily save you a seat!

With You I’m Never Lost

June 11, 2022Leave a comment

Cody and I recently returned from a 6+ week road trip back to see our kids and grandkids in Maryland. He joked that we planned to drive out together, but if things didn’t go well, one of us could fly home 😂 Luckily, we did remarkably well, and enjoyed discovering so many amazing places across the US:

It seems fitting for our relationship that he’s the person I love to “get lost” with– but with him, I’m home.

This week’s #gdp346 sketch from the Global Design Project blog was perfect for a card I’m going to save for our Anniversary:

Cody teases me that “every day is an adventure” together, so the compass stamp was fitting. I LOVE the die cut pieces in the Designer Series Paper and I used one of them as the focal point.

Give My Regards to Broadway

June 10, 2018June 10, 20181 Comment

My husband and I recently experienced New York City for the first time with our daughter and it was a surprisingly wonderful experience. From biking around Central Park to the Statue of Liberty, we painted the town for 3 days (and I found some creative juice)!

My favorite part had to be Broadway, though. I began my college career with the intent of studying musical theater, so that has a place in my heart. We only had time to see one show and we chose “Dear Evan Hansen”.

Do NOT miss the opportunity to see this incredible musical (by the same guys who wrote Greatest Showman) if you get the chance: But don’t make the mistake I did of going without a box of kleenex. And I *ugly cried*.

Today I wanted to pay tribute to that amazing vacation with a stamp, of course! So here’s one you are going to love playing with: The Broadway Bound suite from Stampin’ Up!

This project was also inspired by the the #tgifc163 sketch challenge:

You can download the tutorial for my Broadway Birthday Bag HERE.

Know what else is TOTALLY AWESOME about the Broadway Bound suite? The June Paper Pumpkin Kit is going to coordinate with it!

Did you notice the “subscribe by” date? Yep, that’s TODAY. So if you are reading this after June 10th, you may have to cross your fingers that they have some kits left that they will post for sale around June 26th…but you still have to be a subscriber to order them, so what are you waiting for?
