New Beginnings

I made the following card for a new challenge blog called Cute Card Thursday.


"...to celebrate the launch of our new challenge blog, we would like you to use the theme of new beginnings or 1sts. This could be new baby, new home, new job, wedding or anything else "new" or any other 1st you can think of..."



I've used one of my favourite PB stamps which I've coloured with Brushables and used some Stickles on the daisies. Papers are Pink Petticoat with some mirricard from my stash. Sentiment is from the Just Hatched set at Papertrey Ink, flowers are from Poppicrafts and sticky gems and brads are Papermania.
Must dash now as I've got to go out....speak later.

As always another beautiful card! Thanks also for mentioning Craft Central on your blog, after reading about all your goodies I looked up my nearest. Went last Friday and took the MIL on Saturday. I was like a kid in a sweet shop and spent a fortune!

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!
