Independent Stampin'Up! Demonstrator!

Hey friends!
I've been a demonstrator with Stampin'Up! since 2011. I'm located in Bozeman, Montana, but have customers all over the country. I have a very fun and active downline called "Big Sky Stamper Stars" and we get together in person and online to share what we love. My blog posts feature what I'm up to recently and I try to share new product information, tips and tricks and creative inspiration. You can shop from this site or find out more information about our products and becoming a demonstrator! Thanks for stopping by!

The colors of Norway, as seen thru the eyes of a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator

Greetings Stampin'Up! friends!
I want to apologize for taking so much time off my blog. When I last posted, I had hoped to blog from Norway but iffy WiFi kept that plan from becoming a reality. To be honest, there was so much to see and absorb that my everyday life in Montana faded into the distance a bit.

Wow, what a country!  If you ever have the chance to go, GO!  The scenery is spectacular as you would imagine if you love mountains, waterfalls and water... so much water. There is water everywhere, in every form from lakes, to rivers, to FJORDS!  I never got bored or tired of looking at the view from a train, bus, car or walking.  The people are kind and welcoming, especially to tourists and by and large, they speak English really well so that added to the ease and enjoyment of our trip. We were very fortunate to know people in Norway so we had the trip that the cruise ship and tour bus people don't have... Unique and local sites and activities that wouldn't be on the standard list of highlights. What an extreme privilege and blessing Norway was to us!

I thought it would be fun to share some pics, focusing on Stampin'Up! colors!

See what I did there?  I just shared some pictures from my trip and gave you color schemes at the same time, all from nature and our surroundings!  There is color everywhere and Stampin'Up! is the best at capturing color in various hues in ink and paper so we can be the terrific artisans we all are.  Look around you, what do you see?  Is there a color scheme just waiting to be translated into ink and paper?!!

Thanks for stopping by and sticking with me during my absence. Life has taken an expected, but sad turn with the passing of my dad a few days before we returned from our trip. I will miss him the rest of my earthly life but look forward to the hope of heaven and being reunited with both my parents. 

Blessings,
Sarah
