Landscape Calendars

Hello!

Today I am sharing some landscape calendars I made for Christmas gifts.  The original idea came from Amber here.  Love love LOVED these calendars as soon as I saw them.  Amber graciously offers PDFs of her calendar templates and I snagged them up for this year's project.

Here is my take on it :-)

 

All Stamps are Papertrey Ink, Waltzingmouse Stamps or October Afternoon.

I don't run.

I don't run. Last year, Thanksgiving, I ran in my first 5K (I use the term "run" loosely!) but I finished! and I felt LESS guilty about stuffing my face the rest of the day.

I don't run.  July 1, I did my first obstacle race... the Dirty Girl.. a women-only, mud-filled day of fun to raise money for Breast Cancer. My awesome friend Becca (she DOES run!) was my faithful partner as we made our way over walls, through mud pits, around tires, up a cargo net, and through MORE mud pits...  here we are at the end...

I don't run. This year, I decided it was time to make a change.  I needed to eat better and move MORE. I am lucky to live in an area with LOTS of trails - so what better way to get out and exercise then by hitting the trails?

Then I figured out, I could combine this new "hobby" with my love of being crafty...

I made my own Running Journal :-) A hybrid of sorts - a place to record my training, add pictures from races, and keep memorabilia. Here are pictures of the inside...

...and some more pages for when my Dirty Girl pictures show up...

The back section is divided by months so I can record race times, training, paces etc...

I don't run.  I am just starting out with the Ease to 5K program (free App in App store!) - well I am on week 3. At week 8 I have a 5K - and it is my goal to RUN the ENTIRE thing...even though... I don't run.

Rejected!

Well, my cards did NOT get picked for the latest Papercrafts submissions call - but I decided to play along with all of the other people that got the same (or lack of) news...  Amber is sponsoring a Reject Blog Hop and I am participating!  Here are my 2 rejects:

Have a great weekend!

Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge

This is my first time participating in the PTI blog hop and I'm really excited!!!  :-) The challenge was to use a stamp set that hadn't been used in awhile or that hasn't seen ink yet... well, since this was my latest purchase from PTI - I knew I had to use it for this challenge :-)  The set I used is called Love Birds and I love it!

The other great thing about this set - is the coordinating diecuts for the cages!
