First Challenge - Tilda and Co

This is my contribution to the first challenge on Tilda & Co. I made one of these Wish List books for my friend as a Christmas present and promised myself I would make one for myself but with more pages in!! The one I made for my friend was in natural colours (if you missed it, then it's under the label of Books) but decided to go for something really girly for myself....that's what comes from living in a house full of men!!


The challenge this week was to use a Magnolia image and flowers. I cut the covers myself from self-adhesive board and covered them in Karen Foster paper. The insides of the covers were lined with a cream K & Co embossed card. I embossed a piece of pink Bazzill c.s. with Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder and layered that onto some more darker pink Bazzill card. My image was coloured with Brushables with a little sparkle added to her wings. Ribbon, brads and flowers were added as embellishments and the lettering was cut on my Cricut with the George & Basic Shapes cartridge. Finally, I fixed it all together with my Bind It All.

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 !!!!!
