CASE Study #116

Happy Weekend everyone!! Per usual, it's been a busy weekend filled with soccer, parties, and craziness. I ran a local 5K this morning with my girlfriends. It's the first run I've done since I had ankle surgery to fix a running injury I sustained nearly 2 years ago. It's been a long road but I finally feel like i'm getting my fitness back together. It was a great feeling to run this morning. I have missed it SO much!

Enough chit chat...here is the inspiration for CASE Study #116...


And here is my card!


This is my first card using my Card Kitchen kit from Jillibean Soup. I was lucky enough to win a 6 month subscription to the kit during Jillibean Soup's birthday festivites last month. I'm so excited to get soup in the mail every month now! I really loved this subway art inspired die cut, so it was the first thing I used from the kit.


I don't even know how much it resembles the inspiration card. I was helping my daughter with her own mixed media project at the same time and was getting distracted. But I like how it turned out. I do love the fall colors and the wood tree is a great embellie.

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend...thanks for stopping by!!

    Ok, I'm tired now. But sounds like you had fun too and even more fun getting "soup" in the mail each month, looking forward to seeing what type of soup you get next month.

    [Download] $12,234 in 2 months GAMBLING Software?

    Let me get it right.

    I don't care about sports. Never cared less.

    I tried EVERYTHING from forex & stocks to internet marketing and affiliate programs.. I even made some money but then lost it all away when the stock market went south.

    I think I finally found it. DOWNLOAD NOW!!
