Living in a small town, my options for running events are very limited...which means if I want to participate in more than just the little 5K or 10K races here, I have to travel. And this weekend I did travel to my favorite half marathon race...the Hillsboro Half Marathon. I ran my very first half 3 years ago at the Hillsboro Half and always said I would go back. Well, between being pregnant with my youngest and getting back in shape, I didn't make it back until this year, but it was worth the wait. The course isn't too tough and the scenery is beautiful. I was hoping to finish in 2 hours, but didn't quite make it...2:10:26. I'm motivated to push harder in training and shave those extra 10 minutes off my time for next year!
I got the latest Photopolymer stamp set with my last order and it pairs up so well with I Am Me DSP...kind of reminds me of the Sent with Love DSP, which I was so sad to see go. I visited Fab Friday for a little sketch inspiration...
and came up with this...
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Basic Gray, Whisper White, So Saffron, I Am ME DSP
Ink ~ Real Red, Pool Party
Stamp Sets ~ Dude, You're Welcome & Wanderlust Photopolymer Stamp Set
Other Supplies ~ Hardware Clips Essentials, Circle Punches, Chevron Embossing Folder

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card for traveling! The colors are so pretty together but not too girly! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Fab Friday.
ReplyDeleteReally fun card! I love the colors. Congrats on your half! Your time sounded great to me. I'm a new runner and completed my first 5k this spring and am now training for a 10k. I admire your dedication. I know it isn't easy to find time to train when you are a busy mom. Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
