Fab Friday #129

How is it possible that it is already MID-January??? And where has the SNOW been??? This has been one of the most SNOWless winters I can remember ... it seems like it is snowing in all the places that it NEVER snows (except, of course, the east coast!) ... and it has snowed here a total of maybe three times (only one of which seems like it really counts). It's hard to believe it's January, as the temperatures have been unseasonably warm for this time of year. WEIRD!

I ordered ALL of the pretty new Stampin' Blends pens in November. I FINALLY had a chance to use them in making this fun little "Valentine-y" card for today's Fab Friday Challenge (the sketch had a heart on it, so how could I NOT??!??).

Stamps: Always and Forever
Paper: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Watercolor, Wood Texture DSP
Ink: Stampin' Blends Markers, Early Espresso, Basic Black
Accessories: 5/8" Burlap Ribbon, Gold Library Clip, Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Is This was so much fun ... clean, simple ...

I am in full marathon training mode ... AND I am also doing a lot of stair training, as the Outclimb Cancer Challenge is coming up SOON (in March!). All participants climb the 24 flights in the Wells Fargo Building (downtown Salt Lake City) as many times as they can in 6 hours (yeah, you read that RIGHT!). It's a wonderful fundraiser ... all proceeds go to help in finding a CURE for cancer. It was one of my most FAVE events last year, so I'm getting excited ... and getting up VERY early to meet some friends to climb some stairs!
