Did you know I have the BEST JOB EVER!?!?!?! And 2013 has been a banner year for me too!

I will never forget how this all happened... The school day was almost over, and it was the Friday before Spring Break and I just happened to check my email to see a message from Jill from CTMH corporate office. She asked if I would be willing to come to Utah to help film training videos. I was sooooo excited! I called her for some details and the plans were in motion! What a fabulous way to start my spring break, huh!!!

Fast forward to April, CTMH flew me to Salt Lake City, where I met up with the fabulous Lisa Stenz. We spent a few hours filming two different videos (training for consultants) and whole day with CTMH corporate staff. How lucky am I???

We seriously had the best day ever!

((Too bad it ended with me missing a connecting flight home and getting stuck in LA... but that's another story....))

So I wasn't supposed to share any of this with anyone.... but at convention the cat was out of the bag! They showed us a sneak preview of our videos during leadership day. The first video on Home Gatherings went live August 1st. When I logged onto the CTMH site, this is what I saw:

My solo video has not been released yet, and I'm super nervous about how it turned out.....

Anyways..... I created a scrapbook layout just for this amazing day!

This layout is one that we created at Convention with the exclusive Viva paper pack.

How fun are these Base & Bling metal flowers on a scrapbook page???

THANKS to CTMH for the best day ever!!!!!!

~~ Holiday Blog Hop ~~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone. As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape. At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone. Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason . I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one. Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel! The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun! If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path! Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers! I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately! I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog. Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too. I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long. Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set! I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments. Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now). This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!! I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...
