Chip Off The Old Block (CFC #33)

Finally, it's Friday.  The kids went back to school this week and it sure is hard getting back into the swing of things when they are home on break.  I've been dealing with foot pain this week too.  Last week after my little holiday candy eating endeavors, I decided I needed to burn off some of those calories and go for a bit of a run.  I ended up running 3.25 miles outside in a new pair of running shoes.  After all, it's never this warm in January in Indiana.  I guess that's where it all went wrong and my foot just gave out.  I've been icing it and taking ibuprofen with the hopes of the pain going away, but it just seemed to get worse.  I finally gave in and saw a podiatrist.  You know what he told me - that my brand new running shoes suck.  Well thank you for that advice...not only did I waste $40 on the shoes, I also wasted $40 for him to tell me that.  Anyway, Dr.'s orders are one week with no foot activity. Booooooooooo!  It's gonna be hard for this girl to sit still, and of course, right after I FINALLY convinced hubs to do workouts with me.

Friday means a new CAS-ual Fridays challenge.  This week we are using chipboard in our projects.  I'm sure you've got some tiles, letters, or other sorts of chippy stuff in your stash somewhere.  Break it out and see what you can do.  I pulled out some banners by Fancy Pants Designs and came up with this:




So, here's the super fun catch.  The winner of this week's challenge will get a spot as a guest designer for CAS-ual Fridays (easy, don't hyperventilate)!  Now you don't have any excuse to not play along.  On top of that, Simon Says Stamp is offering some goodies too.  That my friends is what we call WINNING!

Have a fantastic weekend!

  4. I am going to have to go check what brand my running shoes are. I've bought two different pairs over the last few years...unfortunately the pair that didn't hurt my feet weren't cheap. I'll message you separately when I get home. Such a bummer!

    LOVE your card Jaclyn. The touch of chipboards on the banner is fabulous...and love the fonts on the sentiment.

  5. Love the chipboard banner with the chippy accents! Great colors too!

    BTW I've run lots of miles in Mizuno Wave Riders for years - Ebay and Amazon have good prices.

  6. Your banners are awesome! I love the way you used the twine to hang it. Sorry about your feet, that's a bummer. Kudos to you, though, for getting out there. I haven't run anywhere in the past few years, except to catch a plane or something. ;)

  11. I am drooling; Banners are one of my favorite items on this very moment and this took my breath away....

    I am so sorry that you're in pain. And it's bitter to spend money on shoes that made you "" burn"" your money instead of your calories...argh!
    Have a great weekend!
