Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 OnStage Event (part 2)

Yesterday I shared some photos and stories from my trip to Orlando, Florida for Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 On Stage Event where about 7,000 demonstrators from all over the world came together to celebrate Stampin’ Up!’s 30th Anniversary. To see those pictures and read that post, click here.

Today I’m sharing some fun pictures of some of my friends from the event. Not everyone is represented here (I’m fortunate to have many friends), but this collection of pictures gives you a good idea about how many times I had to bend my 6’5″ frame for pictures. 🙂

Here I am with some of my InKing Royalty team members – with Lynn Kolcun, Jackie Beers, Julie DiMatteo and Karen Szczepkowski:
