Marine Corps Marathon

So proud of my daughter, Megan and her boyfriend who will be running in their first marathon this weekend.  As an encouragement, I made them each a card to let them know how proud I am of all of their hard work.  They have been training for the last 4 months......

Here is the card that I made.

This idea originally came to me after I saw a card that Katie with Crafting with Katie had on her blog in August.  I really appreciate when others share their work and it gives us ideas and it turns into something totally different.  I used a Cuttlebug folder with clocks on it, the running shoe was cut from the CM Total Sports Cartridge and the Way to Go was from George and Basic shapes cartridge.  The crimper and another folder gave the running shoe the dimension that I was looking for. 

Hope you enjoy it and cheer on the runners this weekend!  Hoping that I actually get to see her as she runs by along the course!!

Have a great day!

Happy first day of summer and Anniversary to my darling husband!

It's been a busy few weeks, it started out when we were rearranging my craft space and my sweet husband built me a new craft table and then we had my mother in law visiting with us last week, so I haven't been as consistent as I had hoped to be about  posting on my blog.    Here is a card that I made for my husband as we are celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary today.    I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for him.

This originally started out from a card that I saw on Splitcoast Stampers and it kind of evolved into an easel card.  Over all I am very pleased with how it came out.     I used the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge for the die cuts and the Cuttlebug for the embossing, not sure where I got the embossing folder, but I love the timepieces!!  The stamping was from various sources as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by to look.

Have a great day!
