Pre- Birthday - Oooo the Diet

We have a little tradition at work that means whenever we have a Birthday we must have cake, diet or not..

Well I have a Birthday coming up next week and as I won't be back in the office until the week after that we had cake Wednesday. I know, I know I'm trying to slim, but hey you'd be proud of me, I was soooo good.

The only thing I ate was one chocolate, not another thing passed my lips (sigh).

Prima Alabaster Flowers

The lattice punch by Martha Stewart and the Prima Alabaster Flowers work so well together, I used a very pale pink base card and stamped it using the Papertrey Ink Fancy Flourish Stamps in cream and light fawn coloured ink.

Attention to detail...

The Prima Alabaster Flowers are so prettyI kept the card in subtle colours to compliment it, I added extra foliage to make the flower pop using the floral punch craft punches on cream card.

So Busy

I've been so busy of late what with another Show on Create & Craft this coming Sunday which I know you are going to just love, I have also been working hard on cards for Cardmaking & Papercraft & I have a Masterclass for you in their next addition for April.

Whooosh my feet have hardly touched the floor this Month.

Slimming Update

Ohhhh if only I could get back into the swing of things.

I went along to me weekly Slimming World Club and gingerly stepped on the scales knowing all too well that I shouldn't have ate that Mapel Pecan Pastry or the big bar of Milky Bar that found it's way into my hand whilst at the supermarket.

Wow I lost 1 1/2 lb this week.

Now I think it is because I over compensated for my naughty eats, so I'm determined that I now get back on track.

How did you do this week?

Haute Tote

Another Haute Tote, this one is for a friends birthday, made with Double sided card, brads, die cut flowers a template from here and a lot of love.

Attention to detail...

The little purse make the perfect accompaniment to the Tote.

A matching punched flower and a charm and a bit of faux stitching.

Mothering Sunday Tote Bag

I have to say that I love this little beauty, the template comes from Creations By A.R.
and costs only $5 for the download, so I have now made a pretty little gift bag which will be perfect for Mothers Day, all I need to do now is fill it.
All the papers used in this project are made by Stampin Up.
