Blue and Yellow


Good morning everyone and what a beautiful day it is down here in Sunny Dorset....yes sunny!! No rain but brilliant sunshine...it makes such a nice change! Only trouble is, I'm looking at the garden and thinking it really needs a tidy up and the lawn is in real need of cutting!

Anyway, let's forget the lawn for a moment and talk about the challenge on Tilda & Friends ATC blog!! This week it's....

"....the inspiration for the ATCs this week is taken from the colours of the Swedish Flag, the home of Magnolia stamps...."



Kept this one simple and decided not to wander from the blue and yellow. I made the sky with an ink pad and tore some blue paper from my scrap box to create the "foam" on the top of the waves. The sun was coloured with Prismas and Sansodor and then glamour dust was added to the whole image. I cut it out and then stuck it to the top of the ATC, trimming off some of the edges. The Tilda image is one I bought over the last couple of weeks and think she is just so cute! Sam, my youngest, asked what the yellow thing was behind her and when I explained it was her rubber ring, he said "Oh, I thought it was her bottom"!!!!! Coloured Tilda with Prismas and Sansodor with some glamour dust on her wings (of course) then fixed her to the ATC with foam pads. Fixed the bottom piece of "sea" with foam pads as well to give the effect of her standing in the water. Sentiment is a small sticker from my stash.

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 !!!!!
