Project Life Marathon Training - Week 18

Are you ready for the rest of the marathon pages? There are five pages left. I guess I'll break them up so as to not overwhelm you. (And well, actually, I haven't finished them all yet, lol)

Here is the page of our last week of marathon training:



And this week we have two filler cards. As always, click on the images to get your free card:

Julie Nutting girl

I finally finished the canvas with the last Julie Nutting girl that Terri sent us in the June Mojo Club Kit:



And of course, some close ups:







Sorry, it's so late... and THANKS for looking!

Jen-Bunny

Last weekend Cheryl and I were at Old Navy and in the Dollar Sale, we found a set of doggie bunny ears. Cheryl had always called Jena, "Jen-Bunny," so how could we resist?



Here's a happy bunny:



Here's a sleepy bunny:

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 17

We are running a marathon next weekend... NEXT WEEKEND!!! This week is for resting and healing.



I don't know how we are going to do this. No one feels ready.

It's Card Kit Time!!!

Welcome to the Club Mojo May 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 Terri! This was such a wonderfully different kit. It was so much FUN:



Here is what I created. I just loved working with this kit!



Here are some close ups:








I only had time to use one of the girls. I saved my favorite one for a canvas that I have planned. I'll share later when it is done. That's it for me this month! Be sure to checkout the creations from the other ladies:

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 16

Two more weeks, two more week, TWO MORE WEEKS!!! We are all ready for the training to be over and to cross that finish line!



It's been a while since I created a new filler card. To get the free card this week, click on the image below!

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 15

40 miles this week! It's our longest week of the training plan; 20 miles during the week and 20 miles on Sunday. We ran the Cinco de Mayo half-marathon with my online friend, Mara, and added 7 more miles.



It's weird how the race site has our times wrong. They seem to be exactly 20 minutes off. Must be because we started with the 5K. Here are our actual results:

Chris: 1:57, 7/16 in his age group
Me: 2:01, 8/38 in my age group
Cheryl: 2:12, 18/43 in her age group

We are ramping down this week. It's all downhill from here to the marathon!

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 14

We were looking forward to an easy weekend... only 14 miles. Haha, it's all relative! Even though it was only 14 miles, Cheryl and Chris had a hard time. I think the marathon training is getting to everyone... and we have 20 miles to run next weekend! YIKES!



Oh, and I fixed my camera... all I had to do was reset the display. Life's GOOD :oD

12 Tags of Christmas

Welcome to the April edition of the 12 Tags of Christmas!

Here is the link to Tim's post for April....

And here is my fourth Christmas tag of 2013. I tried getting the patina effect using Ranger Distressed Paints in Gold (since I don't have any ink). It is shimmery, but kind of hard to see in the picture. I also stamped the holly leaves from PTI on a transparency for dimension.

New Glasses!

Well, here they are... the new glasses!
From playing with the online website, I decided that I like the half frame style on me. So here we have the before and after pictures:



And look they're PURPLE with FLOWERS and BLING! STYLIN', hahaha!!!



Cheryl got new glasses too. Here's her before and after. She wanted something with bigger lenses that would make her look smart. Doesn't she look BRILLIANT, ;oD



We have a short run tomorrow... only 14 miles this weekend. Hahaha! It's all relative...

Project Life Marathon Training - Week 13

Five weeks and counting until the marathon! We split up again this week for the long run... 18 MILES!!! Cheryl didn't feel like going on Saturday, so Chris and I went without her. We went to Doheny Beach and then up the San Juan Creek trail to Rancho Capistrano. It wasn't too bad running-wise. Unfortunately, I stumbled on the uneven planks of the bridge. My ankle felt fine during and after the run, but today it hurts.

Today, I dropped Cheryl off at Cook's Corner so that she could run all downhill to Aliso Creek. She had a GREAT run!



Here's my layout for the week. No pictues... my camera is broken :o(
