1/2 Marathon = 2:19:27

Faster than my practice pace, so I'm pretty happy with my time. Just going to sit and relax the rest of the day!

Another Top Note pocket card

I made another Top Note card, this time I put the fold at the top instead of on the side.
Here's what it looks like opened.

I did made a few other cards, but I don't want to post them until after I mail them out and the recipients get them, so they can be surprised.

Tomorrow's the big race! I'll let you know how I did. Have a great weekend!!

Matchbox Messages

This week I've really been into the Matchbox Messages stamp set. Here it is again...

I used the Big Flowers set for this, which I just recently purchased because it's going to be discontinued.

The rest of the week is super busy for me. Today and tomorrow I'm setting up for a fundraising even for a non-profit group that I volunteer for. Then on Saturday I'm running in my first ever 1/2 marathon. This will be my first ever race - I've never been a runner, or an exerciser for that matter! LOL! I'm just hoping to finish and not get trampled... there's 25,000 people registered for the race.

A little thanks

I made this card using some left over paper from the "Best Ever" Scrappin' Kit from Stampin' Up! I'm not sure, but it might be discontinued. I took a class at Kristin's and this was some left over paper.

Hope you're having a great week!

Top Note money holder

While I was making my Top Note box, I also decided to try this money holder that I cased from Inking Idaho. This is another great site for inspiration! You can't see it very good in the picture, but I used my Frost VersaMark to stamp butterflies on the left side of the card - that's what that shiny part is.
This is the inside pocket.

And what it would look like if there were money or a gift card inside.

I'm so happy when I find new ways to use my dies!

Top Note box

Isn't this box so cute!?! I found the tutorial on Dawns Stamping Thoughts. Dawn has so many great projects and video tutorials.
Of course I had to use a Hello Kitty die.

I put puffy tape under the sentiment so it would stand out a little.

Here's what it looks like when you open the box.

Have a great week!

Anticipation

It rained for the first time in about 30 days today. I don't know if we broke or tied a record, but it got really close. Too bad it came for the weekend instead of the middle of the work week - doesn't it always happen that way?!

I can't wait for our tomatoes. It's very exciting for us!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Hello Kitty Tags

I made this tag using the Hello Kitty sizzlit with the rainbow, but instead of the rainbow, I put her peeking over the sentiment. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! I love the cute little butterfly and the scalloped oval punch.
I did the whiskers the easy way and just used my gel pen. I used a glitter pen for the dots in the scallops.

I also made this tag. The sentiment is from the same Stampin' Up! set. I think it's called 'Oval All'.

I think I found a new favorite paring - the Hello Kitty over the oval sentiment!
