So much has been going on in life right now that to blog has been pretty low on the list of priorities. Right now I am in the process of moving to a new city. I forgot how much WORK moving is! I definitely recommend hiring a moving company if you can. We did not and I am regretting it a little. The big move should be over by this weekend though so I am looking forward to that. <br />
<br />
When I take a break from packing endless boxes I usually jump on my computer to check e-mails, play around on facebook or hang out on the couch for awhile. Recently while surfing some blogs I like to peek at I came across the new Serenade collection by Basic Grey!! Oh BOY! I think I may be in LOVE!! I usually love anything Basic Grey to begin with; but add some butterflies and I am over the moon! Have you seen it?! It is so girly and pretty! <br />

I have a little card to share today. I recently received a few stamps in the mail from sei and decided to play with the set Moravia. It also gave me a chance to play with my Copics. Gotta love that!<br />

The polka dot paper is by MME. There is a little coordinations cardstock I paper crimped and sanded. I am loving the yellow and turquoise together along with the brown.<br />

So one of the <a href="http://www.cupcardstogo.typepad.com/" target="_blank">challenges</a> this month over on<a href="http://www.cupcardstogo.typepad.com/" target="_blank"> Cupcards to go</a> is to create a project using paper doilies and stickles in a unique way. So I created a cute heart pocket that is just perfect for filling with a sweet treat. You could hang this on your sweeties door for a little surprise.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P7JWdkweTEI/TxOObC0zUfI/AAAAAAAAC-8/Gv0Tmznxv_w/s1600/Heart+pocket+%2528hanging%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P7JWdkweTEI/TxOObC0zUfI/AAAAAAAAC-8/Gv0Tmznxv_w/s640/Heart+pocket+%2528hanging%2529.jpg" width="488" /></a></div>
It is super quick and easy to make. To make the paper doilies a little stronger I attached one of the doilies to a white sheet of cardstock. Then attach both doilies together and stitch along the edge. Be sure to stop before closing up your heart all the way. Then punch one hole on each side of the (cardstock re-enforced) heart and attach your ribbon to create a hanger.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CD7Gb1BH6MU/TxOOb32ytFI/AAAAAAAAC_E/C6YyIMEg0Q0/s1600/Heart+pocket+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CD7Gb1BH6MU/TxOOb32ytFI/AAAAAAAAC_E/C6YyIMEg0Q0/s400/Heart+pocket+detail.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stickles I added to the button embellishment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YxAW3MUxK2g/TxOOckvBt3I/AAAAAAAAC_M/Hw1uR030wjA/s1600/Heart+Pocket+detail+%2528close+embellishments%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YxAW3MUxK2g/TxOOckvBt3I/AAAAAAAAC_M/Hw1uR030wjA/s400/Heart+Pocket+detail+%2528close+embellishments%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I hope you have had fun stopping by each day to see a new project. I do still have one more card to share. That will be at a later date though. I will have step by step instructions available so you can re-create the card yourself. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This card was inspired by the sketch available this month over on <a href="http://www.cupcardstogo.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Cupcards to go.</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwHvhy62SPU/TxONhnei3ZI/AAAAAAAAC-s/RBVAwHdHX6w/s1600/Happiness+card+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="388" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwHvhy62SPU/TxONhnei3ZI/AAAAAAAAC-s/RBVAwHdHX6w/s400/Happiness+card+detail.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This ruffled ribbon was a great way to add a sweet touch to this card. I also hand stitched a little along the edge. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nem6VeVoqqw/TxONiVrc-bI/AAAAAAAAC-0/qmYZ6tg9iic/s1600/Happiness+card+detail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nem6VeVoqqw/TxONiVrc-bI/AAAAAAAAC-0/qmYZ6tg9iic/s400/Happiness+card+detail2.jpg" width="361" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the little embellishments in this kit really made it easy to make a great card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwopNoLb8Ng/TxONeMBIbAI/AAAAAAAAC-U/VzcW0RZshfQ/s1600/Bliss+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwopNoLb8Ng/TxONeMBIbAI/AAAAAAAAC-U/VzcW0RZshfQ/s400/Bliss+card.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I embossed the card base of this card with the heart blocks embossing folder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tZQfmA0YjVQ/TxONfMpMgHI/AAAAAAAAC-c/ETMgVp0s4yU/s1600/Bliss+card+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tZQfmA0YjVQ/TxONfMpMgHI/AAAAAAAAC-c/ETMgVp0s4yU/s400/Bliss+card+detail.jpg" width="335" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bliss was stamped on the script patterned paper, then I added the stickles in pink<a href="http://www.cupcardstogo.typepad.com/" target="_blank"> (in the kit) </a>on the clear overlay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not tell you enough how beautiful this kit is! It is FULL of product and the pre-cut cards are made of GORGEOUSLY thick cardstock! Not that flimsy stuff you often encounter. </div>

I will be showing a few cards each day and a super cute way to use the heart doilies you can get right now.<br />

So far this card is one of my personal favorites. I inked up the paper die cutout (spellbinders Fair Isle) with tea dye ditress ink and hollyhock ink (close to my heart). I really like the effect. </div>

Hi all, I have been busy creating away for the holidays. Frantically finishing up some gifts. This set is going to my sons kindergarten teacher. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hzbOD5zUQEQ/Tu0VEBmraWI/AAAAAAAAC78/bKQ6TztlAf8/s1600/Card+set.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hzbOD5zUQEQ/Tu0VEBmraWI/AAAAAAAAC78/bKQ6TztlAf8/s400/Card+set.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a really cool resist embossing technique for the background of this card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jAsW9xGhHpo/Tu0VFF2mJtI/AAAAAAAAC8E/Au-oS1O83JA/s1600/Card+set+deatail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jAsW9xGhHpo/Tu0VFF2mJtI/AAAAAAAAC8E/Au-oS1O83JA/s320/Card+set+deatail2.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A close up of the purple card. The cards came together quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gzMsLqKausU/Tu0WpxvKXbI/AAAAAAAAC8U/GNovROMe_BI/s1600/Card+set+detail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gzMsLqKausU/Tu0WpxvKXbI/AAAAAAAAC8U/GNovROMe_BI/s320/Card+set+detail1.jpg" width="258" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a little variation on the red card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of the cards have the same basic design which made this set quick to create. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello friends, I want to share a project I am currently working on. It is not complete...but I am closer. So far it has been lots of fun to layer up a bunch of chipboard all inked up and looking pretty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

I am back tonight with a Christmas card I created with the sketch over on the talented Deconstructed Sketch site. I used Sketch 28. Jen does such a fantastic job with these sketches! So, wanna see what I came up with??<br />

I just love this stocking ribbon. I found this in a little craft store last year...lucky me! I cut a few strips of paper and then punched the edge with the doily lace punch by Martha Stewart. added some silver ribbon and a flower by Prima.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so lucky to find a scrap of this sweet reindeer paper! I am not exactly sure but I think it is by MME. A bit of red behind that embossed with the argyle embossing folder by cuttlebug.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A little sparkle vellum cut with the Labels Two nestabilities die and stamped with a sweet sentiment. I inked the edges just a bit. <br />
<br />

So I just came across a fun design team that I would LOVE to be a part of. It is called Imaginarium designs and they have some of the best chipboard elements around and tons of talent already on the team that I would be so honored to learn from. So how do you even begin to be considered for the team? Well, by showing your top 10 projects using chipboard......so here it goes. My top 10 projects using chipboard (in no particular order).<br />

WOWZERS! I just couldn't help playing along this week over on Mojo Monday! I always seem to find loads of inspiration over there and this time was no exception! The sketch this week is lots of fun; I can see a lot of potential from it.<br />
<br />
I decided that now that the Turkey is eaten I can now officially begin my Winter and Christmas cards. <br />

I used some My Minds Eye paper and a few snowflake stamps from a Basic Grey stamp set. The sentiment is from Whimsy stamps. I added some Stickles (star dust) to my snowflakes and a red pearl YUMMY!<br />

A little close up of the yummy Prima flowers I inked up with distress ink (old paper). The leaves I cut out using an old school Sizzix die (leaf stem). A paper pieced a bit of color on them for added interest.<br />

But it had to be done...several hours later and I now have a fresh clean crafty space once again. when I was all finished I went for a run and now I am ready to get my craft on! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been seriously slacking on my blog. I feel like I should let all my blog friends know where I have been and what I have been up to. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So lately I have been training for my first marathon. The half marathon (13.1 miles) was on my things to accomplish list for this year. On the morning of my first 10K I was chatting with a friend about how to prepare for a marathon, and expressing how totally lost I was. She told me that she completed her first marathon with Team in Training. What is Team in Training (TNT)?? She told me a little bit about it and how the program works, I thought about this at different times throughout that 10K....and when I got home decided to look further into it. After speaking with someone in the TNT office I was determined. I decided right there that I wanted...NO needed to do this!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For everyone who is scratching their heads right now wondering what TNT is and why I was so moved to join them on my marathon journey let me give you a little info. TNT is a group of athletes who set out to raise money for the Leukemia/Lymphoma society. The participants of TNT participate in endurance events. such as Marathons, Half-marathons, Triathlons, Century rides, and Hiking. All this to try and squash cancer! The really cool thing is that even thought the society is looking to treat and hopefully cure blood cancers, the research is being used to help treat and in some cases even cure some types of cancer! The Leukemia/Lymphoma Society also helps the patients and their family to cope with the blow of a cancer diagnosis, whether monetary or in emotional support. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qqy1ut3DHYM/TmKlVJ6CQJI/AAAAAAAAC2o/atfqc-o7yGs/s1600/Team+in+training+Fall+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qqy1ut3DHYM/TmKlVJ6CQJI/AAAAAAAAC2o/atfqc-o7yGs/s320/Team+in+training+Fall+2011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">TNT Fall Team</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So maybe now YOU can see why I HAD to do this! Look I was gonna be running at marathon event this year anyway. This way it is SO MUCH MORE than just running an endurance event! I am making a difference in the lives of others. Gotta LOVE that!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Alright now onto the running. Things had been going pretty great! I was running each week my required miles, meeting tons of great people and raising lots of money. I even got so confident in my abilities I decided..."Hey, why do a half marathon (13.1 miles) when I could do the FULL (26.2 miles)??" I got up to a 12 mile run and then it happened!! The dreaded injury! OH NO! NOT GOOD! I was 30 days into the injury when I finally felt like I was getting somewhere. On that 30th day I had my first physical therapy appointment. Having an injury and not being able to run my usual miles was tough! Even if I wasn't training for such a feat as the marathon.....running has become part of who I am. I really can say, even when I hate it I still LOVE it! Funny I know....why? Running is for ME. It is the only time in my life I can say that my brain can take a breath. I can be going along and before I know it a mile passes by and I have only been in that moment. Not thinking about the future the past...nada, just being in the minute by minute present. I gotta tell ya it is a WONDERFUL place to be! </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now I have been progressing through my injury and am able to increase my miles again. Mostly for me, just being able to run again without excruciating pain is AWESOME and an achievement in itself. I ran over 10 miles recently and was pleased. I am looking to get in at least one 20 mile run before the marathon. This weekend I am looking to be able to say I went at least 13 miles...maybe even 15 if I feel well enough.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Marathon training is very time consuming. You would have to LOVE running or walking to even do it. Because 26.2 miles is grueling, but so exciting! Unfortunately there are only so many minutes in the day and between working full-time, mommy full-time and training, it has left my crafty stuff to wait for my return. I hope to be back in the swing of things after the marathon. Oh did I mention....the marathon is Oct. 16th! I am traveling to San Francisco to run in the Nike Women's Marathon! So, SO Exciting and really...a dream come true for me. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know I could not even dream of doing this marathon without the support of my family. A big THANKS to them for being patient with me....whether I am talking endlessly about running or need to lay down in a bed of ice for a few hours. My boys have been there for me! Thank you to my friends for inspiring me to keep going and for donating to help a great cause and getting me one step closer to my goal. I am still raising money to reach my goal. I have about $800 to go! I need to be there by Sept. 30th! YIKES!

<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">JennK</span></i></b></div>Jenn Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08762715322515917727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408448327961837195.post-16998770742939624532011-06-10T21:28:00.000-05:002011-06-10T21:28:44.972-05:00Why I am running 13.1 miles to save lives!Hello everyone! I know I have not blogged in a while. I am back today to talk to you about some important things going on in my life.<br />
<br />
The question is often asked..........why would you do that? Well, I am going to share 5 reasons WHY I am going to run 13.1 miles in Oct at the Nike Womens Half Marathon to benefit the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society.<br />
<br />
My 5 reasons......<br />
<br />
5. A way to meet a great group of people to run with and help cheer each other on. Solo is no fun.<br />
<br />
4. I set a personal goal for myself this year. To complete a half marathon for the first time, preferably running the whole way. What better way to achieve my goal and help contribute to a wonderful organization like the leukemia/lymphoma Society at the same time.<br />
<br />
3. The money that I raise is going to cancer research, education and patient outreach. Also what is being developed by LLS researchers is being used by other cancer (breast, prostate, skin, etc.) patients.<br />
<br />
2. Cancer has affected people in my personal life, so this is what I can do to help.<br />
<br />
1. What I will go through training to run 13.1 miles is nothing compared to what the patients, family members and loved ones go through when dealing with this disease.<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of what your donation today can do to help:<br />
<br />
-Prescription Co-Pay Reimbursement - $30 <br />
-Cost of a family support group meeting - $55 <br />
-Disease Information booklets for oncology office - $75 <br />
-Patient aid reimbursement for one year - $150 <br />
-Daily salary for an LLS sponsored researcher - $150 <br />
-Cost of a patient education program - $200<br />
<br />
Please help me in my campaign to raise funds to continue the research, education and patient outreach. My goal is to raise $3,500 by Aug. 1st, so your quick response is appreciated. Just think it will take 140 people to donate $25 for me to reach my goal so give what you can and please pass this along to friends, family members, anyone you can think of and encourage them to donate as well. Also don't forget to ask if your company will match your donation amount. I will truly appreciate your support. You can donate online on my <a href="http://pages.teamintraining.org/ks/nikesf11/jkoss6"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">webpage</span></b></i></a> , or you can send a check made payable to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to 110 West Copeland Kingman, KS 67068. <br />
<br />
Thank you for all your support in my training and/or donations. I know many of you may have people in your own lives who have or might benefit from this research. Lets keep that research, patient outreach and education going.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I embossed the cardstock with the Argyle cuttlebug folder. Then layered my stamped image on some left over patterned paper.

I am excited to share a card I created with the sketch from the Taylored Expressions Sketch challenge over on the Splitcoast Stampers forum. Not only will your creation be entered into a drawing for up to a $20 gift cert to the Taylored Expressions store but, also they are looking to add one lucky person to their sketch team!!! WOWZERS! This is something EXTRA special!! So of course I had to get time to create something to enter this fun challenge.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the Boys will be Boys set to create this card. Each little picture was colored with Copics. I twisted some cording I saved off some packaging for the MANLY ribbon. Added the Fathers day sentiment to the bottom. Th blue cardstock is Core' dinations...Love to distress, rip and emboss that cardstock. And finally the patterned paper is from DCWV.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It's already Wednesday, and March is about to come to an end. I am still finding Valentines around the house and now I gotta start thinking Easter. I participate in my boys classroom parties throughout the year and am usually on the lookout for a quick and simple idea for cute treat bags. This year is no exception. I gotta get started on these treats soon. Any ideas? <br />
<br />
In the meantime I have been creating some cute Spring inspired projects with a paper collection by We R Memory keepers called PEEP! I just love the name and the colors, everything really! I recently saw a request by none other than We R Memory Keepers for some spring projects featuring their products and knew I had to send in a few things I had been working on. I am excited to say that I got an e-mail this morning wanting permission to share my designs on the blog! Of course I said YES!! I am not sure when they will share them, but I decided to share them here too. <br />
<br />
So, here we go......<br />
<br />
