Run with Your Heart

So many times, my New Year’s resolutions include running goals.  This upcoming year will be no different.  I began running back in high school and have continued to run over the years since then.  Many runners will tell you that it’s an addicting form of exercise and I’d have to agree with them.  I’m not big into competitions or races, but I enjoy a good run that clears my mind and energizes me for living life.  In more recent years, I’ve been so inspired by people close to me who have taken up running and have seen big life changes because of it.  On those days I find myself grumbling about lacing up my running shoes and heading out on a run, I think of them and it inspires me to just get it done!

I love Simon Says Stamp’s Running with Your Heart set and made a monochromatic design with it.  The main image was stamped in black ink and fussy cut.  I added a touch of sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella brush marker and added a tiny red heart for a little visual interest.  I popped up the finished main image with foam dots for dimension.

Here’s to a happy and healthy 2017!
