Decor Elements

We have some beautiful vinyl elements for decorating your home.  Here is one I placed on my wall as you come up my stairs.  I love it.

It is really pretty when the candles are lit, but I couldn't get the lighting right for the picture.

Itinerary Details for 7-day Alaskan Cruise

This is a sample itinerary:

Day 0- Depart Seattle Washington
Day 1- At sea (lots of stamping/scrapbooking will get done this day)
Day 2- Juneau AK, Noon - 9:00pm
Day 3-Glacier Bay 7:00am - 4:00pm (we don't get off the boat-just get as close as possible to the glaciers)
Day 4-Sitka AK, 8:00am-5:00pm
Day 5-Ketchikan AK, 7am-1pm
Day 6-Victoria Canada, 7:30pm-11:59pm (federal law requires we stop in a foreign port)
Day 7-Back to Seattle

We will be doing our scrapbook layouts for each port ahead of time, so you know what type of pictures to be taking. 
We will be doing all kinds of other papercrafting also.  I am having so much fun figuring out all the projects, I have to start narrowing it down so I can fit it all into the time frame!! 

I will have a sample class schedule out soon also.  Keep watching!!

Have a great day!

I saw this idea on another blog, but it was quite a while ago and I don't remember who's it was-if its your's let me know so I can give proper credit!  It's an amazing idea-this way the card does not get destroyed trying to get to the candy.
