Sweeping Tilda

Here's another folder which I made a couple of weeks ago to send some images and which I haven't shown on my blog yet.



The image is Magnolia which I've coloured with Promarkers. Papers are Pink Petticoat printed onto lightweight cardstock and rounded all corners with an SU punch. Used the SU slot punch to attach the organza ribbon which was from my stash and finally, added some sticky gems from Papermania. Same layout as I've used before but finding this to be quite simple and effective.

Thanks everyone for bearing with me.......am beginning to get the urge to do some colouring so you never know, might have something new to share with you soon.

Hope the weather is a bit better where you are - you would think we were in the middle of winter here.......torrential rain, strong winds and just a bit chilly!!!

Weather isn't any better here - feels like winter today :-(
Beautiful folder, I need to make some soon. Are Promarkers much different from Marvys? Hope you soon feel up to some crafting.

Jo, this is so cute. Beautifully done!!! The weather sounds miserable there. Look at it this way...it makes you want to stay home. That means more stamping time!!

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 !!!!!...
