It’s June 1st and I can officially share some sneak peeks from the upcoming NEW catalog!
Here are 3 of the Make & Takes from the SU Alaska Cruise last week! The New In Colors are”

"Just For Fun" Mini Album with Belly Band 2011 Alaska Make & Takes Linda Heller
This is a mini album folded from a 12×12 piece of cs and is about 3″ x 4″ when closed (I’ll be doing this for Stamping School, it was a neat lil project!) It has a belly band around the album to hold it together. It’s a cute stamp set and I’ll post a few more samples with that set later.

if viewing from your email, you may need to come to the blog to see additional posts if I put up more than once a day)
Sorry for the delay in posting! We had some internet issues and then a very busy day in Ketchikan (which was quirky and beautiful!)
Our pillow gift yesterday was 2 pairs of sunglasses! One for both of us and we headed down to the Post to pick them out. FUN gift! Thank you SU!
In the Stampin’ Up area of the ship, called the Trading Post, we have displays boards filled with cards shared by the demonstrators here. There are no names shown on the cards so I cannot give proper credit now but if you see your card here, just leave me a comment and I’ll update your name under your project! Just wonderful ideas and I wish my pictures were better. Between the boat rocking and people waiting behind me to take pictures, I rushed a bit!
Remember you can stop or pause the slideshow anytime, right click and save if you want. I don’t have the internet time to post individually or give details about stamp sets or supplies but enjoy the stamping scenery!

Matt and I are heading to Alaska with Stampin’ Up this week! I am really excited about this trip. Colder weather (great for this hot flashin’ woman) and whales and bald eagles and moose and grizzlies…seriously, I’m in danger of becoming a permanent resident.
I’m so grateful to my faithful customers and downline who helped me earn this trip!
I’ll be posting when internet permits and Stampin’ Up has said we can show our completed make and takes so I’ll be sure to take pics of those.
A few weeks ago I received my travel info and luggage tags from SU. I always look for clues to upcoming new stamp sets in the design of the wallet:
Ok, over the top cute! A rubber stamps sewn onto the front cover!
There are 4 of these tags, and the bird is really whimsical…maybe he will be in the new catty in July?
And the inside with the itinerary and things to read on the plane!
On with the wrist bands, the Bonine, and green apples! (i get sea sick but this will be worth it!)

Stampin’ Up Cruise: Monday
We’ve been at sea all day, enjoying the rocking back and forth and to and fro…well, at least one of us has been enjoying it and it’s not me! My 1/4 of a Bonine still making me dopey but awake enough to chat with my good friends and attend the general session this morning.
Shelli gave an encouraging message and then Pam Morgan demonstrated a few fun Fiesta projects from the Summer Mini Catalog.
Her parents are celebrating a 60 year wedding anniversary and she created some fun party accessories with the new Sizzix die, Island Floral. She showed us the flower lei and how she decorated the Party Favor Boxes and the drink straws, too!
I’m adding pics by gallery as the internet is touch and go here – just click to enlarge:
I was blown away at the party light strings made from our Party Favor Boxes! Really cute but be sure to use low heat lights.
Look how the 6×6 album is decorated for recipes!
And someone very brave cut the middle out of an album (might try this when I get home)
Brent demonstrated some football pages with My Digital Studio – will take pics of that later.
Off to dinner and tomorrow we will be in Barbados!

Matt and I are still in San Juan today to see some of the sights before getting on the ship for the Stampin’ Up cruise. We had a great time today hanging out with Jan Burnett and her fun hubby, Darryl. We had signed up for a rainforest tour, drove an hour in a van, only to find out that the rainforest had been closed for the first time ever! Apparently a landslide had occurred 20 minutes before we arrived. So change of plans and the driver offered another tour of something completely different! For those of you that like to keep up with our non-stamping sightseeing, Matt will finish the rest of the story on his page here.
We all caught up with Deb and Kevin Valder and had a fabulous dinner at Cafe Del Angel. I love Mofongo, a Puerto Rican dish with plantains. Yum! Anyway, I was sad to hear Deb’s good friend, Sue Hyer, couldn’t make it this year BUT she was with us…well, sort of:
Deb had a little cutout of Sue so she wouldn’t miss anything. Sue, we miss you and hope you enjoyed the virtual Pina colada!
For those that love stamping, I’m sharing a beautiful gift I received from my good friend, Connie Hobbs. She turned an ordinary candle container into something so pretty to look at!
Here is a close up of the lid that she spruced up using the Sizzix Daisy Die.
We board the ship around 2 or 3 pm so I won’t post again til after the muster and getting settled.
Have fun and take time to stamp something today!

Hola! Matt and I landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, this morning at 10:30. I couldn’t get over how HOT it is here and the humidity is off the charts! (and we are Floridians who know how to handle the wet air!) Other than the heat, it is very pretty here. We came in a few days early to enjoy the sights before setting sail on the Adventure of the Seas, Royal Caribbean ship, to the Southern Caribbean. I’m grateful to have earned this trip again this year and look forward to seeing what Stampin’ Up has in store for us. They certainly know how to put on an event!
We set sail on Sunday! I get seasick so I asked many of you what to take and I picked up a mini drug store to try. This morning I took a Bonine and I’ve been sleepy all day! As soon as we got to the hotel and I just collapsed on the bed and I was out cold. I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. I’ve got to get this under control before we sail. There is a midnight stamping time for a few make and takes, so I’ve got to be awake for that!
I’ll be updating the blog with stampin’ updates when possible. I may post several, smaller posts a day with my phone – quicker than having to do it all at night. We have a Facebook page for Stamping School and I may use that since it is a quick way to fill you in. (sign up on the right sidebar for that) Matt will be updating his page (see tab up top for Matt) for all the personal stuff if you’d like to tag along on our adventures! We did see quite a bit today already and more tomorrow. We are already seeing other demonstrators here who came in early so it will be a fun day!
Sea ya! Linda

I’m jumping up and down and the Fed EX man is looking at me like I have 3 heads! I just got my box from Stampin’ Up that has my travels docs in it for the Stampin’ Up Southern Caribbean cruise! I’m so grateful to have earned it because of my fun customers and promotions in my downline. Matt and I will be going in early to Puerto Rico in just a week to spend a few days there and then on the ship! (and by the way, if you know of a good sea sickness cure other than wristbands, ginger or patches, please leave me a comment! I get SO seasick but wouldn’t miss it for the world!)
Here is what was inside the Fed Ex box! Stampin’ Up has the best presentation for the ordinary itinerary papers:
A shiny, patent leather teal wallet that holds our tickets and info! And inside
filled with luggage tags and tropical fabric that looks just like designer paper that is coming out in the Summer Mini Catalog!
How did they know Taken With Teal is one of my favorite colors?! The embossed luggage tags are going to get a lot of use beyond this trip.
I’ll try to keep you posted with our activities while I’m on the ship – let you know my plan for how I’m going to do that soon! Linda
