Stampin' Up! Just Believe for Less is More Challenge

The Less is More challenge from Chrissie and Mandi is to make a card with something that moves on it. I made this earlier this week and with my trip to Frankfurt didn't get around to posting and it just so happens that it has beautiful flowers and grasses on it from the Just Believe stamp set from Stampin' Up! on it and also the ocean in the photograph.  I've matted basic black and pacific point layers and added some boho blossoms punched flowers with some rhinestones.         
It makes a really striking card.

Now I also have some more pics to share with you from my Miss Big Shot trip. Chapter one of the trip is on the previous post.

Here is Jasmin's desk in the entrance of the Stampin' Up! European office. She is Axel's right hand woman and does lots of different jobs including kindly making all the arrangements for our trip along with other events like the incentive trip.








This is the UK display board where you might spot one of your cards. There's one for each country.






The next 3 shots are only about a quarter of Charlotte's office and what would you give to have store cupboards like these!


How many ink pads does a girl really need!!!
These punches could be on their way to a training session near you!
Here's one that all the demos will want to see. Our very own Chris in 'relaxed' pose at his desk.  (For any Stampin' Up! staff reading this he didn't spend the day like this it was just a pose! (well I promised him I'd say it was anyway!)
Next door to him is Eileen's desk.

I missed her on my trip she was off that day.


These are all the cards that UK demonstrators have sent for demonstrator appreciation day.   Chris and Eileen really appreciate these.
Back with more shots soon. Have a great day. Click to read Chapter 3 of Stampin' Up! UK Miss Big Shot
