OMG...What an opportunity!!

I recently seen a posting on scrapbook.com that Provo craft is looking for cricut demonstrators, I called the number, had 2 interviews in 2 days and I have been hired. I will be doing cricut demos at the Michael's store in Shawnessy (Calgary) and getting paid to talk about and show people the cricut. Awsome eh?? The best part is that training for this new great job is in Las Vegas! So I, after 28 years of keeping my feet on the ground will be flying to Las Vegas at the end of the month. I am so excited!! It will be 2 days of training and I hope I will be able to see some of the sights while I am there. I will be taking Reiley's Travelling bear Princess with me and I hope to get some great pictures of her. I am bouncing off the walls and can't believe that I am going to be going in a week. I have been running like a chicken with my head cut off all week, trying to get the passport forms filled out and photos taking and then back to the passport office today. I will have passport in hand thursday morning - WOW!!
I still can't believe it!


Las Vegas here I come!!

Distressed clock

I have had this old form for a mantle clock for ever and I finally decided to do something with it. I drew inspiration from Tim Holtz (of course) and from 7 gypsies. I wanted it to look different from anything I had done before. And I am very very happy with the results. I did have a clock mechanism but sadly it wouldn't fit, the center post wasn't long enough so I improvised. I stamped a clock face using a CTMH stamp and distressed it and used Tim Holtz's spinners. DH says "Even a broken clock is right twice a day". Here are the pictures of the results.

New Cards

Here are a couple new cards I made. I love the way they turned out. I like the soft tones of the pastel one and the soft earthy tones of the brown one. I used BoBunny paper for the brown one and Basic Grey for the pastel one. Have a great day everyone.

My new scrapping room!

Ok ok so it isn't really new but it is clean and re arranged and it looks amazing. I spent the day cleaning and vaccuming and now this room looks great.I am just loving how this room looks. It is my space and I love it. I have my cricut connected to the computer and it is layed out in such a way that there isn't cords and stuff everywhere. It still has the same amount of furniture and it looks bigger. There is even more room for Reiley (my DD) to come in and scrapbook too. Thank honey (my DH) for pushing me to get it cleaned up. I can't wait till tomorrow so I can get creative in here. Night all!!
