Makin Cards

I used the Mo Manning Digital Stamp Makin Cards and coloured it with promakers I cut the top edge of the image with the Nestabilities Long Scalloped rectangles. the dotted paper was edged using a Martha Stewart border punch.

I added a Prima blossom and used a copic marker to accented it to match the card colours.

I used the Sizzlet Calender month dies for the wording and as it also has hearts on it I also used these with a little glass glitter to make them pop.

Damask - Spanish Olive

A bit of Spaish olive and cream make a wonderful colour combo so I dug out the nestabilities Label dies, Damask stamp(PTI), Bellas roller stamp(SU)and a Cuttlebug embossing borderand set to work.

Attention to detail...

I used a sheer olive ribbon this time and tied it in a know at the side of the image, as the card has lots going on I found the sheer ribbon just made it pop, I think a heavier ribbon would have swamped the card.

Where I used the Cuttlebug border to emboss I added stickled diamond to enhance the embossing more.

Aspire in Brown's

I have decided that because so many of you are urging me on with my weight loss I'll try to add an update each week and those of you that are also trying to shed a little can comment and add your update too, we'll help each other on.

Now for today's card

I'm not sure why but I find something quite calming in shades of brown, I used the penny Black Aspire stamp for the image inked with SU chocolate Chip Ink and stamped onto cream card stock, 2 backing papers and some twill tape and a brown base card.

Attention to detail...

3 brown buttons tied with linen twine varying in sizes.

Frayed ends on the twill tape, I did this by accident to one end and liked it so the other end got frayed too.

Big News

I say big as it is my behind that has been growing since giving up the cigarettes I stupidly replaced them with chocolate and my word did my bum grow bigger.

So off to Slimming World I went, I was super good and ate all my free foods and a few allowed Syns along the way, tonight was weigh in night.

I lost 2 lbs I have to admit I was a little dissapointed as I know how good and focused I was but 2 lbs off is after all the same weight as a bag of sugar so really I should be well pleased.

If you are trying to shed a couple of pounds please feel free to leave a comment.

Me & my Granda - Just Perfect

I think everyone should try to look for at least one thing in the day that makes you smile, well I'm lucky because on this day I found two.
