Girly But Blue!

Good morning all! Can't believe it's Friday again.....where has the week gone?!!

The challenge on Tilda & Co this week is......

"You don't see many girl cards/projects in blue very often. They are normally pink! Well I would love you to make your projects this week in BLUE! Has to be suitable for a female......"

I recently got some new Magnolias and have been wanting to use this one as soon as it arrived and when blue was mentioned, thought of Christmas! So this card will also fit in with Fab's Big Christmas Challenge......another two challenges in one card....what is wrong with me!!!

The stamp is Chilly Tilda and I've coloured her with Prismas and Sansodor and plenty of Glamour Dust on her wings, coat and hat (you may have to click on the photo to see this better). Also used the Goblin Tree Stump which has been coloured in the same way and Glamour Dust added to what should be moss (saw this idea on one of the ATCs on Tilda & Friends challenge). Cut out both images and fixed Tilda on the tree stump with foam pads. Papers are by Brenda Walton and have been layered with Bazzill Bling and mirricard. Slots were punched with my SU punch and Dovecraft grosgrain ribbon added. The sentiment is from Doodlebug and the sticky gems are Papermania.

Don't think I will have time to craft today as I'm meeting up with a friend this morning for a coffee and a chat and it's Tae Kwon-do night this evening which is always hectic! Hope you have a good Friday and will be back tomorrow!

Love it, great card Jo! I'm glad it isn't winter anymore, but it's still fun to see winter cards. Love that Tilda image and the way you've colored her. Especially like the fluff on her coat and the moss on the tree stump. Neat idea! :) Great blues and printed papers too. :)

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 !!!!!...
