Things With Wings

The challenge on CCT this week is "Things With Wings".....
".....Anything with wings which is cute is fine for the challenge..."
For some reason, don't ask me why, I didn't want to use a Magnolia stamp so went for this little fella from Stampin Up.



It was a very quick and simple card to make. I coloured the owl with Prismas and Sansodor and added some Glamour Dust to his chest. I then layered him onto Bazzill c.s. with my Woodware punches. The background paper is from the chocolate blox from Craftwork Cards as are the chocolate drop embellishments. The dark brown paper (which has a shimmer to it) has been run through the Cuttlebug with the Spots & Dots Embossing Folder and some ribbon from my stash was fixed across the join. Told you it was quick!!


Then decided to do another one!!


This time I used an image from the Little Penguins set from C.C. Designs which has been sat in my box unused since buying them a few months back! Coloured him with Brushables (yeh, I know penguins are black, but wanted something a bit softer!). Mounted him in the same way onto Bazzill c.s. using my Woodware punches and added some faux stitching and Papermania sticky gems. Covered the card in matching Bazzill c.s. and some paper from my stash, ribbon from Dovecraft, more sticky gems and the sentiment from the same stamp set, layered onto c.s. Another quick one!

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 !!!!!...
