We are back from an amazing trip to Canada and Alaska. We had incredible experiences traveling from Calgary, through Canada's gorgeous national parks, and then onto the Rocky Mountaineer Train to Vancouver. We then boarded the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas, cruising from Seattle, through the Alaska Inside Passage, stopping in ports in Alaska and Canada. This beautiful cruise was the Incentive Trip I earned last year and all costs were courtesy of Stampin' Up! - we were so spoilt! Did you know that less than 1% of all demonstrators earn the Incentive Trip each year? You can see some of what we got up to on the Creative Stamping Facebook Page.
While we were away, we had some amazing family and friends who helped us out, looking after our kids and cat. As a token of our appreciation, I created a small gift using the sweet Copper Tea Tins, filled them with chocolate, and dressed them up with the gorgeous Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper...
