LOAD Lucky #13

13 has always been a lucky number for me - I was born on the 13th ;) ! Here's my 13th layout - only 8 more to go - hope I can keep the mojo going! This is of me at my first 5k walk/run competition. I walked most of this race - I was by no means last - but it has been my goal to run a complete race. The last race I was in I did run most of it - just rather slowly. I wish I could just float the whole way to the end as graceful and lithe as a butterfly - hopefully I'll get to that point one day!! I used my Sept Studio Calico kit for this. The large butterfly is a rubon that went way wrong - most of it stuck to it's paper backing that was part of tha packaging. I just left it that way and attached it with the paper backing still on it. I painted the "fly" part of my title as the navy and white polka dots just didn't go with this! The small butterfly is a stamp from one of the add-on SC kits. The 4 is thickers from my stash - the small silver letters are from my stash too! I misted the middle of the cs, but most of it got covered. The journaling is from a Jenni Bowlin journal pad from the kit that I painted white to tone down the yellow on the page - then I cut it in half and punched the edges. TFL!
