RUNinspired

Good morning... I am normally out running a long run on Saturday morning, but this weekend, I had to rearrange my schedule a little. I wanted to share a layout I did on my girls scrappin' weekend about my first big race, the KY Derby Mini Marathon- 13.2 miles!

When I first started running, I went into a local running store called Fleet Feet. When I walked in, the first thing I saw was a huge poster that said, "Uninspired" at the top and then, underneath, "RUNinspired... running changes everything." I loved it. It was such a motivator for me, and now, I am 10 weeks away from running my first Marathon- 26.2 miles!

My two brothers, my sister-in-law and me running together in the Mini Marathon:

We had a blast running together and finishing was a feeling only someone who's "been there, done that" can understand. RUNinspired... 

Sketchy Thursdays- GDT

Sketchy Thursdays has their challenge up for the guest designer for August. I decided to play along... I got a lot of scrappin' and card makin' done on my girls trip this past weekend. The gals at Sketchy Thursdays requested that we not only use the sketch, but to also include:

• A summer topic
• The colors red, orange and/or yellow
• A journaling spot

here's the sketch...

here's my take... 

I chose to use the colors red and yellow and my journaling spot is from the SMASH pad "entertainment." The summer topic: RUNNING! Training now for the Chicago Marathon in this heat has been murder. The layout is about the Rodes City Run, second race in the triple crown leading up to the KY Derby mini Marathon. After I finished my race, the kids got to run. It was a ball- they got to run along the river at Waterfront Park. All the kids got a prize, a free lunch at Chick-fil-A and had fun in a giant cow jumper.

A close up of some cute faces and embellishments! I love those puffy clouds- thanks, Elizabeth! ;) If you want to play along in the GDT Challenge, click HERE for all the details. You have until July 23!
