One For The Fellas! (or maybe two!)

Good morning all! Got a busy day again today so this will be a very quick posting.

The challenge on PTW this week is to make a male card. Think I've just got in by the skin of my teeth!! Decided to keep the card very simple and ended up doing two because they were so quick!







For this one I used a Bella image I had received in a RAK and coloured him with Brushables, he was then mounted onto Bazzill c.s. and rounded the corners. The base of the card was covered in a blue Bazzill Bling c.s. with some Doodlebug ribbon stuck to the bottom. I rounded the bottom corners of the card, used a circular sentiment from Craftwork Cards which I layered onto red Bazzill c.s. and added a couple of brads from my stash.




With this card, I again used a Bella image from a RAK and coloured it with Brushables, then added the Woodware sentiment "Cheers" to the bottom corner and mounted onto Bazzill c.s. I covered half of the base card with blue Bazzill Bling c.s. run through the Cuttlebug with the Spots & Dots embossing folder, rounded the bottom corners of the card, fixed some ribbon from my stash across the join and finally, added a couple of Bazzill brads.

Must dash now and hope you have a good day!

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 !!!!!
