It's Card Kit Time!!!

Welcome to the Club Mojo April card kit reveal! We have 10 ladies in the club this year... 10!!! These are all wonderful ladies who I've had the good fortune to meet at Scrappin' Mojo. Wait until you see all the talent and inspiration!

It's time for our Club reveal. This month's kit was put together by Mara! This adoreable kit makes me think SPRING:



The first thing I created was an album using a Michael's frame. I saw it posted on Heidi Swapp's blog last week:



Here are some close ups:





Since I had some pretty paper left, I made a couple of cards and a tag too!



Here's the first card. I made it for my neighbor's daughter's baby shower next month. And if you can't tell... it's a girl!










Here is a cute little card that I made using book paper... Japanese book paper:





And lastly, a little tag using a cute sentiment from Mara's kit:





That's it for me this month! Be sure to checkout the creations from the other ladies:

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 12

Six weeks until the marathon... SIX WEEKS! We were supposed to do a 16 mile run this weekend. We tried on Saturday, but only finished 4 miles before we went home. Chris's new shoes were hurting him and his foot was swollen. It's nothing that a little ice didn't fix up. We did our 16 miles on Sunday...4 miles Saturday + 16 miles Sunday = 20 mile weekend.



Things to remember for a long run... Eat for staying power. As Cheryl found out, Pop-tarts are not good running fuel. Chris found out that one bottle of water is not enough for a 16 mile run. I found out that it would have been a good thing to take an Aleeve BEFORE running.

We'll take what we learned and hopefully next week's 18 mile run will go smoothly.

New Glasses

This is the week Cheryl and I have eye exams, and possibly, new glasses. I cannot believe how exciting this is for me. I never liked wearing glasses, but now they are more of a style statement. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a style, so picking out the best frames is hard for me. I found a fun online site that lets us try on glasses. We just upload a photo and click on some frames. What do you think?





Here is the site, if you want to shop for your own glasses. It's TONs of FUN! We found that it's easier to pick frames for each other than for ourselves. Why is that?...

We'll see what we end up with this week.

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 11

Cheryl did a mud run this weekend with her friend. We had such great plans to run 16 miles at Irvine Lake, but there main trails were all taken by the mud run. We tried running along the little rough/rocky trails, hit dead ends, had to back track, got turned around, couldn't find cell signal... it was a rough run. We only finished 12 miles, so we are pushing the 16 mile run to next weekend.

Happy Easter!

And yes, it was a happy day!... lots of family, good food, and FUN!!!



Here are a few pictures from our day....









Did you know that cotton candy grows on trees?



And bunnies grow in pots?



I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter!

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 10

I can't believe that it's April already! WEEK 10!!! The marathon will be here in just two short months...



This week's card is a picture of my kids running under the 5 fwy. I left the picture with the saying this time because I think it's a good generic picture. To get the free card this week, click on the image below!

Card Kit Part II

I had a vision for one more card from Mary's March card kit. I finally finished the card that was in my mind. I LOVE when it comes out just like I envisioned it!

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 8 & 9

Here is week 8! Cheryl spent her week studying. Chris and I tried to find a half-marathon race, but there were no races in our area. We ended up running 13.1 miles at Aliso South.

It's week 9, and we are half-way through the training plan! YAHOO!!!



And here is this week's free filler card. Click on the image below to get your card:

What a WEEK!!!

The boys are gone this week to Costa Rica. So, what's a girl to do?



SUNDAY : We cheered Galaxy to a tie with Chivas.



MONDAY: We cheered Noah's team to a win over Mission Viejo.



TUESDAY: We went to Hollywood to see "Catch Me if You Can."



WEDNESDAY: Girls just want to have FUN! Cheryl went to school for her last final. After she got home, we went to Ladies Night at Road Runner Sports and had a "Breaking Dawn" part 1 and part 2 marathon.



THURSDAY: Running, paddle boarding, shopping, and to see "OZ."



FRIDAY: We went to La Jolla to kayak the sea caves. No sea caves today because of the overhead surf and 11 mph winds. We also managed to roll our kayak during the beach landing. At least it wasn't just us... everyone rolled their kayak, along with one of the guides. After we dried off and stopped shivering, we went into San Diego and spent the afternoon at the museums in Balboa Park.



SATURDAY: We were invited to play in a coed 6v6 soccer tournament. Yes, BOTH of us, and I'm happy to say that I was not the worse player there! Our team, "Accurate," tied one and lost 2. We didn't not make it to the play-offs, but I got free soccer cleats, and had a lot of fun.... I really miss taking soccer pictures...







And we had another Galaxy game to go to. This time Galaxy WON, YAHOO!!!



SUNDAY: We are so sore from soccer yesteray, but we don't need legs for paddle boarding! Now that we are such experts, it's time to try our luck in Newport Harbor. I admit that I fell off the board. My shoe was sitting on the board, and I hit it accidentally with the paddle. I tried to save it before it floated off and tipped the board. Yep, swimming in Newport Harbor... YUCK! It was a beautiful morning!





Now, a nap is in order before we go pickup the boys at the airport after midnight.



Thanks for stopping by and looking at the pictures of our busy week!

It's Card Kit Time!!!

We have a card kit club name now... about time since it's been over a year, lol! I made the blinkie above. It's simple, but it makes us official now. Welcome to Club Mojo 2013! We have 10 ladies in the club this year... 10!!! These are all wonderful ladies who I've had the good fortune to meet at Scrappin' Mojo. Wait until you see all the talent and inspiration!

It's time for our Club reveal. This month's kit was put together by Mary! Wow! I love the colors in this kit. It makes me think of rainy spring mornings:



Here are the cards that I created:



In this card, I used what grabbed my attention first: the die cut umbrella. I love using die cuts:





The blue colors worked great for this frosty tag that I made for my challenge over at Scrappin' Mojo:





This last card is plain and simple. I used the wood umbrella, the great trims, and cute stamp from the kit.





That's it for me this month! Be sure to checkout the creations from the other ladies:
