Lavender Tilda

This card is one I've made for a blogging buddy's birthday - Happy Birthday Jilli! - and I was really quite pleased with the result. I've used the same layout for my All That Glitters card on PTW.




The image is one that I received from Sue and I've coloured her with Prismas and Sansodor with Glamour dust on her wings. The stamp is called Harvest Tilda but I saw the idea of making it Lavender a little while ago and thought I'd give it a try. The layering was made using Blonde Moments Sugar Dumpling paper, mirricard and Bazzill Bling c.s. The flower is from W.H. Smith and the brad is from Papermania. The sentiment is from Woodware.

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 !!!!!...
