My version uses a strip of Harlequin DP from Pink Petticoat mounted on a strip of card with the edges embossed with an embossing stylus to give a rounded and more finished look to them. The flower is from Prickley Pear as is the die which was used to cut it out. It's adorned with a stamen punchout plus a gem and the simple sentiment is from Kaisercraft.
At weigh in yesterday, I hit the 50 lb loss mark and have just 7 lbs to go to reach my target. What I have lost is more than the equivalent of carrying my granddaughter around with me all the time... what a strain that must have been on my heart and all my other vital organs... to say nothing of the effect on my knees and back etc.. When I get to target, I'll post a pic of the new me!
Slimming World does do an online programme in the USA. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll forward your email address to them. It's certainly working for me!
I love your take on the sketch Chrissie... love their sketches too!
