Project 12 :: August

Hi!  It's been an amazing couple of months & I can't wait to show y'all.

August is one of my favorite months, but then again maybe I'm a little partial since it is my birth month.  My spread this month documents a lot of special events.

• My dad also celebrates his birthday at the beginning of the month.
• I've been working to loose weight and after 2 months I had lost 20 pounds and have so far kept it off.
• I celebrated 3 years at the store.
• I tried all summer to get various tickets to a couple of different concerts and the one I finally got tickets to Florida Georgia Line - which is tomorrow!
• I completed my first and maybe only 5K, but it was never about proving I'm a runner, but proving to myself that I could do it.  I think it's a bigger accomplishment that it was almost a hundred degree day the day that we ran.

 Thanks for stopping by!

 

What A Ride!

All I can say is WOW!  These past couple of months have been some of the craziest that I have ever experienced in my life - don't get me wrong they've been the best months of my life but it did lead to   no any postings in months.  So, for those of you who are reading my blog - thanks :)  and hopefully there will be more postings over the next week.

First Up:

Run or Dye - Layout

 

Ever since the Color Run started, I've wanted to run/walk one of these - mainly for the experience and to say that I have done one.  I'm not a huge fan of running but I can walk pretty quickly, well if it's not 96 degrees outside at the end of August. 

There is just something perfect about these Hero Arts stamps that worked perfectly with this specific page.  I think these might be my most favorite pages I have ever done.

So I created my own background with the stamps in a variety of different ink colors to play along with the different colors of dye that they used. 

When I was trying to decide what to use as the title, I didn't have too many creative ideas so I just used the name of the race and their same font - cut on my Silhouette Cameo, Niles.  I also added a few details about the day just so I wouldn't forget that I had actually completed something that was on my bucket list!

I'll be posting all of my project 12 pages within the next week!  Thanks for stopping by!
