Alaska Achievers Blog Hop - Autumn/Winter Catalogue & Incentive Trip

Welcome back for another Alaska Achievers Monthly Blog Hop with fellow Demonstrators globally, who last month enjoyed their prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip, reaping the rewards of all their hard work to achieve. 

You join me, Sandra, here in Norfolk, UK and I hope you like the projects I am sharing with you today, all created using NEW and exciting items you will be able to purchase from 5th September.

It was wonderful to meet so many 'famous' colleagues from around the globe, up close and personal and a few selfies too, including another one with Sara !

I was blown away by the generosity of the company, with the pillow gifts every night in our cabin.  Having extended our trip, we were away for 3-1/2 weeks and so luggage was already nearly at maximum capacity.  Hubby's careful packing, plus offering to carry this gorgeous handbag as 'his' additional permitted handbag, we were not charged additional fees.  Needless to say, it drew lots of attention !

Today we are here to share some the new 2018 Autumn/Winter catalogue releasing shortly and also moments from our fabulous trip.

I was seriously suffering from 'withdrawal symptoms' not being able to craft for over a month.  Catching up for classes has been priority but also lots of fun, incorporating lots of new sneak peak teasers for this months customers.

This month I am sharing with you four cards, some of my groups will be completing this month, sampling several new products.

The first card uses Peaceful Noel stamp set #147694 on page 29.  I have 'cased' the card on bottom of page 28, making into a rectangle card instead.  I'm loving the new Merry Merlot card colour which joined our colour palette in June !

My next card uses the Beautiful Blizzard stamp and Thinlits Die bundle #149922 (W) #149921 (C) featured on page 39 on the catalogue.  A template was made using the single large die and sponged through using soft roller.

Next card uses Making Christmas Bright stamp & punch bundle #149947, featured on pages 6/7 of the catalogue and part of one of our gorgeous pillow gifts on the Alaska trip.  As this is a quick class, I punched solid colours rather than getting attendees to stamp and clean between each stamping, to avoid 'accidents'.

My last card uses another fabulous pillow gift, Merry Christmas to All stamp and Thinlits Die bundle #149952 from the All Is Bright Suite featured on page 4/5 of the catalogue.  Complimented with the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper #147892 as a background, these were very quick to create.

I hope you've enjoyed my post today and perhaps inspired you to purchase a few products.  You will probably need to grab a cuppa and a notepad to start listing your favourite 'must-have's' whilst you 'hop' round the globe today!  

Here is list of todays participants:- 

Have fun !

Happy craftin'
