Katharina's Sketch Challenge

Katharina has produced a sketch challenge on her blog and thought I would have a go at it. It did take me a while to arrange all the pieces as I'm so used to producing very simple (like me!!) layouts. Anyway, this is what I came up with......







and this is the actual sketch......

I've coloured Tilda with Prismas and Sansodor and added glamour dust to her wings, petticoat and the centre of the flowers. Cardstock is Bazzill and mirricard, papers are from Blonde Moments, ribbon is from Little Silver Hat, charm brad is from Papermania and sentiment is from Woodware.

Hoping to get out a bit later as the weather has been awful this morning......pouring with rain and very windy.....good job I actually got off my bottom and mowed the lawn yesterday. However, the rain seems to have stopped now and the sun is starting to appear from behind the clouds.....thank goodness!!!

Just another reminder for all my SBS-13 Sisters to read the post below.....come on girls, have a bit of fun and join in!!

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 !!!!!
