Birthday Worm!

Lewis is off to a birthday party today so had to make a quick card for him to take. The girl in question is a bit of a tom boy so decided not to go for the usual pink girly card.


Took several photos of this one but just couldn't get the colour of the green patterned paper to turn out right....it's definitely brighter IRL!! When I'd made it, realised it fitted in with the CCT challenge this week which is to use patterned paper.

Have used my Whipper Snapper worm and coloured him with Brushables, adding a little glitter to his party hat. Layered him with my Nestabilities rectangles and added a flower and brad from my stash. Used some turquoise c.s. from my stash and the patterned paper which unfortunately, didn't have a name on the back - I've had it for ages and think it came from a monthly kit I used to subscribe to. Ribbon is also from my stash and greeting is from Craftwork Cards. Finally, added some Papermania sticky gems to the top right-hand corner and the sentiment.

Off to get the kids showered now as they both have parties today. Unfortunately not at the same time! I have to drop off Sam first and when I collect him, then have to drop off Lewis at his. I still hope to get some time to do some crafting!

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 !!!!!
