Hello from SLC!!!

I made it safe and sound and FINALLY got to meet my roommate (and friend for life!) Cynthia!  After months of chatting, sharing ideas, helping decide on swaps (and clothes!) for Convention, it was sooooo good to finally meet her face to face!  We are in for an amazing few days of fun, excitement and of course, STAMPING!!! 

I managed to sneak in a few minutes of stamping time this morning before I headed out for my flight.  I used the sketch over at Hand Stamped Sentiments and had some fun with this card!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Gray, Whisper White, I Am Me DSP

Ink ~ Real Red, Basic Gray, So Saffron, Pool Party

Stamp Set ~ Wanderlust Photopolymer

Other Supplies ~ Whisper White Bakers Twine, Candy Dots, Honeycomb Embossing Folder

Now that we are all settled in our hotel room, we are off to explore and find some where yummy to eat dinner.  Stay tuned for more posts and exciting updates along the way! 

Happy Stamping!!!



Will Travel for Races

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
