MCT 25th Release Blog Hop: 13.1

by Veronica

Welcome to the 25th Release Blog Hop! If you've hopped here from Tracy's blog, you're on the right track! If not, mosey on over to Emma's blog and you can start this Hop from the beginning.

Today I'm showcasing the new set Treasured Moments on a card I've made for my BFF, Stephanie. This Sunday, she and I (along with my husband) will be running in our very first Half Marathon. I'm so excited to be 'earning' my 13.1 sticker for the back of my car!!! *giggle*

I haven't been running for too long, but Stephanie is a very new runner, and I know she's nervous about the Big Day. So I made her this card (with a photo from her first official 5K) to remind her how awesome she is and how much I believe in her.


MCT Products Used
Stitched Round Speech Bubble Dies
Stitched 4 x 6 Journal Dies (numbers)
Type Calendar Stamp Set (July 21)
Treasured Moments Stamp Set ("I have faith in you!")
