Passion for Fashion

Base card is cream. I then added a layer of orange pattern scrapbook paper after going around the edges with a colorbox orange ink pad. I then added a strip of Apricot cardstock to the cardfront and attached some rhinestones and metal word charm to that. I stamped the girls (Stamping Bella) onto white cardstock with black brilliance ink pad and coloured with tombow pens and then went around the edge with a color box ink pad and attached it to the cardfront at an angle.

Exercise - not my favourite thing

I am one of those people that have over the years signed up for several gym contracts and then just never gone - sound familiar. One starts off with the best intentions and then I just never get there. Coach potatoe more my style of exercise. However I must say that fortunately I find shopping gives my arms a good workout - carrying all those heavy shopping bags and all walking in the malls keeps my leg and bum in shape. Well that's my story and I am sticking to it.

I have always wanted to give yoga a go though - looks so serene somehow.

Todays card uses an image from Stamping Bella. I have stamped it on white cardstock with black brilliance and then coloured with tombow pens and went around edges of it with red colour box ink pad. I then took black cardstock for card base, added some red scrapbook paper(went around the edges with a pricking tool so that it looks like I sewed it) to the cardfront and a strip of patterned scrapbook paper and then added my coloured image. Then I added word charm, flowers with rhinestone brad and some gold buttons.
