We had a nice little family vacation to Las Vegas. My up-up-upline Karen Morris and CTMH Corp. held a LeaderShare meeting for her team members. I was very excited it was close enough for us to go and equally excited to see the Vegas lights for myself.
During our meetings, we listened to amazing presentations given by some of the VPs from CTMH. I could seriously sit and listen to them all day! I always get motivated and inspired by all of them...can't wait to hear from them again at Convention!
We also created two beautiful projects, a My Creations Cube and a layout using the new Irresistables Eclectic chipboard die-cuts. I didn't get a chance to completely finish either of them...very quick paced creative sessions...so I'll have to share those when I get them done.
There was a very nice surprise for me at the end of the day...Karen gave out awards to her team and I received a lovely layout page created by the Art Department at CTMH. It turns out, of those in attendance, I was the Top Recruiter for the last year's 4th quarter!
Really? Yeah Me!My up-upline Kim got this oh-so-lovely shot of me on the way back to my seat.
I'm so glad to be a part of this great company that really supports and recognizes it's consultants.
And I love helping people become a part of that as well.The day we headed home was the first day of Spring. We planned to stop at the Grand Canyon on the way through and do a bus tour. Well, when we walked out the door of our hotel that morning to go to breakfast, we saw the first snowflakes of the day starting to fall. By the time we got to the entrance of the park, this is what the weather looked like...
Of course we didn't really plan on being in a blizzard...in Arizona...in March.
As you can see by the boys' apparel, this snowstorm completely caught us off guard. I really should check out weather forecasts before packing.
The only reason they even have those jackets is because Engineer insisted they needed them before we had visited Hoover Dam the day before. Thank goodness for Target...and for Engineer!
Our bus tour driver came in shortly afterwards and said she was going to try and talk us out of the tour. We wouldn't be able to see the Canyon anyway, what with all the snow falling. We thanked her, then headed for the van to start the trip home earlier than planned.
This is what it looked like as we left the park...
and pretty much stayed that way for half the trip home!
But we made it home safely and have sort of gotten everything unpacked. The house is a disaster, but that can be fixed when I don't have so much...help...at home during the day.
So how about another Studio J layout? I'm working on the pictures from this trip, so you'll have to wait just a bit longer for those, but I have lots of others to share!
This layout is made with another one of those groups of photos that I took just because the boys were being so funny. We had a big mirror propped up in the hall before hanging it and they just became mesmerized with their reflections.
Studio J: Hooligans Reflections Kit
Have I told you lately how much I love Studio J? Yes? Well, I'll tell you again. I love Studio J!
I love that I can take a paper pack like Hooligans...
and use it however I want! Why did I choose Hooligans for these pictures? Two reasons. I knew it had that "Boo" stickease for me to use, and because it had that great "fingerprint" B&T paper! Two little boys can leave a lot of fingerprints on a mirror!
By using Studio J, I could pick the paper pack to use based on the patterns, not just the colors. Since you can change the paper to any of our 60 colors, it adds more versatility to your layouts!
Now, I have a couple hundred more photos to download from Vegas and actually have time set aside today to work on more studio layouts.
If you want to know more about how Studio J works, send me an email. Next month is another great Studio J Member special from CTMH and you won't want to miss it!
