It's Derby Weekend!

This weekend is my first time actually competing as an Official Derby Girl. My first game is Saturday as a sub player for the Psycho Ex-Girlfriends and is on the banked track. This game is SOLD OUT. My second game is my Fresh Meat Bout (newbie/rookie) I am on the Huntington Beach Heartbreakers and our game is Sunday at 5:30 pm and tickets can be purchased HERE. This is a more laid back event- you can sit in the bleachers, or just bring a lawn chair and sit on the skating surface. It is an an indoor Hockey Complex-there are snacks and drinks. 

I have to say that I am as nervous as hell! I only hope I make it out of the first bout alive!

Xyron Design Team!

Back from Vacation to find out I have been selected to be part of the Xyron Design Team! Xyron produces some of my favorite tools to create with and they will be a perfect marriage with Graphic 45 and Clearsnap! These are my fav products of theirs and can't wait to get more of what they make....

{my sticker maker-perfect for small pieces of chipboard}

{my Creatopia- I use all the bells and whistles but especially use their one size fits all die roller piece- I can run pretty much any size die cut through here!}

{ahhhh and my baby. I am NEVER without this at my foot or by my side. My 5" creative Station. If you make mini albums and you don't have one of these...you are missing out!}
