Dazzle Us With Something Challenge!

Hope everyone is having a great day and for all my buddies across the pond, Happy Independence Day!!


The challenge on Stamp Something this week is "dazzle us with something that sparkles, shines, shimmers or glitters" and this can only mean one thing for me (or rather, two!) - glitter and mirricard!!!





The image is from Penny Black and I've coloured it with Brushables and added plenty of glitter to the bra and butterflies although it doesn't show up too well in the photo. Papers are from Pink Petticoat printed onto lightweight c.s. and layered with mirricard. Sentiment is SU as are the punches I used to layer it. Finally ribbon and buckle are from my stash. Had to add a Papermania sticky gem inside the buckle because the ribbon is so sheer, you could see the back of the buckle, however, not too happy with the finished effect.

Have sent Tony up the school to pick the kids up which means it's my turn to take Sam to Tae Kwon-do tonight - Lewis won't be going as he had a fall at school yesterday and bruised his wrist so he has to rest it for a couple of days. We took him to the hospital to get it checked out and you should have seen his little face when they told him it was bruised and not broken......he was so disappointed - he so wanted a plaster cast!!!

Hope you all have a great weekend and pop on over to Stamp Something because we're looking for a Guest Designer......show us your bling!!!

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 !!!!!...
