Happy Wednesday!

Hello Friends! We've made it to hump day (yeah!), only a couple of more days to go before the weekend! So, I wanted to let you know that last week I submitted two cards to the Stamping Royalty Contest at PaperCrafts magazine. You can read more about it here: http://www.papercraftsconnection.com/blog/2013/04/stamping-royalty/. I submitted a birthday card and a hello card, wish me luck!

So, do you remember the card I made for my sweet friend Chi when she ran a half marathon? Well, she asked me to make another one for her friend that she ran the race with. I used the same runner silhouette but I changed the card up a little:

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the runner and the winding road. I'm not sure if you can tell from the photo, but I added a blue sky and some clouds to the background. This card was pretty quick to whip up and hopefully Chi's friend will like it. :-)

 

I hope the rest of your day is great, and thanks for stopping by!

Run Chi Run!

Happy Saturday friends! I sure hope your weekend is off to a fantastic start. I see sunny skies out my window, so I'm hoping for a beautiful day. My husband and I have a "date day" planned so we're going to be hanging out all day today, I'm really looking forward to that.

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for my sweet friend Chi who finished her first half marathon a couple of weeks ago. I am just in awe of this girl, she is in great shape! All I can say is You Go Girl! Here's the card I made:

This card was made using some patterned paper from Studio Calico, the stickers on the bottom are also Studio Calico. I cut out the runner silhouette using my Silhouette Cameo (Cammie). I added a quick bow to the card to finish it off. This was one of those cards that came together pretty quickly, I guess I really had a strong idea in my head of how I wanted this card to look and I stuck with it (for a change!). Well, get on out there and enjoy the start of your weekend, I'll be back soon!
