A Quick Birthday Card

This card was quickly made as you will see by the colouring....oops, went over the lines a bit but was in a bit of a rush as I made it late Friday night for a party Sam was going to on Saturday.

I've used my Tilda with balloons (which I haven't actually used before, even though I've had her for a while!) and coloured her with Prismas and Sansodor and added some glaze to the balloons and Glamour Dust to her wings. She has been layered onto mirricard (what else!!) and Bazzill c.s. and did some doodling around the edges. DP is from Blonde Moments and sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. Threaded the velvet ribbon (which was from my stash) through the image using my SU slot punch. Sticky gems are from Papermania.

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 !!!!!
