Tilda & Co Template Challenge

As promised, I'm back with a card to show. We're all showered and dressed and Sam is ready to go to a bowling party so thought I would quickly post this card. It's not like me to complete this challenge so early.....I usually leave it to last thing Saturday night/Sunday morning lol!!
The challenge this week on Tilda & Co is a sketch challenge.....they have some candy on offer this week so well worth a look. Here's the sketch.....



......and here's my interpretation of it.......

I've coloured Tilda with Prismas and Sansodor and added glamour dust to her wings, petticoat and flower in her hair. I then cut her out and fixed her with foam pads to the background which I made with my Nestabilities small rectangles and Bazzill c.s. Have used Bazzill c.s. again for the background together with paper from the Papermania Venetian Skies pad. The strips at the top are again Navy Bazzill c.s. with Doodlebug rub-ons and flower eyelets from my stash. The flowers are also from my stash with a Laura Ashley big brad in the centre.

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 !!!!!
