Happy Easter Somethings




The challenge on Stamp Something this week is Easter or Happy somethings. I'm in a bit of a panic because I didn't realise how close Easter is and haven't done a thing for it, apart from this. Also realised it's the last day of term today so wanted to make something for Sam's Teacher.



It's a triangular gift bag which is on the Scor-pal site and have used it to put a little pressie of mini eggs in. Here's a better view of the shape.......



I just adore this image - it's from Elzybells and it's the first time I've used it. Coloured it with PM's (what else?!) and cut it and embossed it with my circles Nesties. The bag is made from Bazzill c.s. with some DP layered onto the front and ribbon threaded through to make a handle. The sentiment is from the Just Hatched set at Papertrey Ink. Finally added a little heart gem from my stash to the bottom.



The challenge this week is being sponsored by Digital Stamp Oasis so some scrummy candy on offer. Hope you all have a great weekend.


I'm also entering this for the Elzybells challenge which is a recipe using one ribbon, a circle and an embellishment.

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 !!!!!...
