"Strong" Elite Fitness Crew

Hi Crafty Friends,
This two-page layout captures the sweet send-off from IL to PA from the fitness class I taught Body Pump (we called it "Strong" and the friendships built along the way. I used bright watermelon-inspired red and green papers from Graphic 45 Sunshine On My Mind, flowers, hearts, and layered patterns to celebrate this special group Pat, Diana, DeAnn, Mary, Rose, Meg, Kathy, and Cindy and the memories we made together at Elite Fitness in Western Springs.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you take fitness classes? Which ones?
A: Me? Not anymore, I just do my own thing but I used to teach a million in IL!

Hello Sunshine

This cheerful card is pure sunshine with its bold orange and yellow rays, happy little sun from Lili of the Valley Summer Icons Stamp Set, and oversized “hello sunshine” sentiment from Lawn Fawn. I added a few golden pearl accents for extra sparkle and warmth, making it perfect for sending a bright hello.  I used Tape Runner Adhesive to hold it all together.
