Stampin’ Up! Inked & Tiled Hello Friend for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning, y’all!  It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a fun sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

I’d had my eye on the Inked & Tiled punch bundle – the florals are really pretty – and in particular the stunning coordinating Inked Botanicals DSP – so…this sketch gave me a great chance to showcase that paper!  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Cruising and Exploring the Fjords!

HappyHappy Hawwmp Day!  It’s Day 4 of our cruise and we’ve been a bit busy!

Okay – a lot of the “busy” has revolved around FOOD but – we have taken a break or two to DO and SEE some THINGS!

Our first full day was a Sea Day – and it started out with a Stampin’ Up! general session – we got a few sneak peeks from the next Mini catalog (I can’t share yet but…you’re going to really like it a lot!) AND – we learned where we’ll go for the 2025 Incentive Trip.  THAT was exciting for sure!

Stampin’ Up! Galway, Killarney and Finn!

Well – it’s Friday and…Ireland is beautiful!  We’ve had a night in Galway and a night in Killarney.  Tonight is our second night at the Killarney Lodge – it is simply wonderful!

Galway was very cool – we stayed in a nice hotel by the harbor.  It was called the..wait for it…HARBOR HOTEL! 😎 Did a little walking around on Wednesday – a little shopping – a little eating.  Had lunch at a pub in an 800 year old building – called The King’s Head.

Stampin’ Up! And…We’re OFF

Well – when you read this on Wednesday – Happy HAWMMP Day, by the way! – I’ll be in a new time zone.  Ireland is 5 hours ahead of us in Atlanta so…my postings may get a little wonky on the times.  Be patient with me!

And that’s no Blarney!

😂

Anywho!!

Yesterday was…LONG!  Actually, it’s still going on.  You can’t go to sleep when you land at 9 in the morning local time.  It’s just not the way to get used to where you are.  Gotta just brute your way thru!

We got the Man off to Camp with no incidents – he ate his breakfast at the unDOGly hour of 6am – he has quite the way with words and made his feelings on the matter quite clear.

Then we loaded up and…
