Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Anything But a Card / Stamping With Melva

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Anything But a Card

Thursday 11 July 2024

Today I'm hopping other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. The theme this month is "Anything But a Card". I used to scrapbook before I started making cards and I decided that I would get back to it starting with pictures from the amazing Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip to Mexico this past May.

I was so honoured to have earned the trip last year (disclaimer - less than 1% of Demonstrators earn the trip each year). I love Mexico and the trip was amazing. I took my sister Gayle with me as my husband wasn't able to travel. We had so much fun!

Check out the layout I did for the Travel Days - Vancouver to Cancun on Day 1 and then Cancun to the Hotel Xcaret Mexico Resort on Day 2. The Take to the Sky Suite is perfect for travel related layouts. Isn't this fun!

Here's page 1 with my travel buddies from Vancouver and also my sister and her travel buddy from Calgary. We met up in Cancun! Over dinner we took a picture of the 3 of us from the Canada Inks Up! Team that earned the trip.

Day 2 was the travel day from Cancun to the Resort. We were picked up by bus and transferred to the Hotel Xcaret Mexico. We were so excited!

I'll be sharing more scrapbook layouts going forward. I hope you enjoy them!

Now it's time to be inspired by all of the Projects in our Blog Hop!

I hope you have been inspired!
