So the week begins again!!

Can you believe it's Monday already. Was up early today and at the Gym by 7.45am. Am really enjoying my exercising and am feeling much better for it. Came back home and did the dreaded housework - yuck - but it had to be done! Had Slimming club this evening - lost 1lb which I am very pleased with bearing in mind that I had 2 take away and ate out yesterday and had cake!!! I have given myself a target of loosing 8lb by my birthday which is on 2nd October. I will then weigh less than I have been in about 20 years!! I will keep you posted on how I get on.

I did get to make a card this afternoon and will show that in a later post but for today here is a card I made for 1 of my nephews for his birthday this month. It's another decoupaged car. They are so good for male cards!

Recipe: -

Square card blank

Lovely Day

Second post for me today although I did cheat with the earlier one as I scheduled that from yesterday. I have had a lovely day today as we have been out for a meal at the Queen's Head pub in West Chiltington in Sussex. We were celebrating our friends 50th birthday which is on Wednesday. We went out today as this was the only day both his sons were available. Ate a bit too much but it was lovely so will have to work extra hard at the gym tomorrow morning. 

Now to my card for the day. This is for my sister whose birthday is later this month. I do like using black and white.

Card Recipe :-

Square card blank

Devine swirls embossing folder

Nesties - curved rectangles

Decoupage flowers (not sure where this came from as found it already made up in my box!)
