Hello Friends & Happy Wednesday to ya!! We are half way thru the week whoo hoo and today is my day of rest...now don't get all excited ok LOL. I mean today is my no-workout day...I workout two days in a row and then take a day of rest. So Thurs and Friday I will be back at it and let me tell you Jillian Michaels is KICKING MY BUTT! No one gets me in shape or toned up faster than her videos I tell ya but man oh man getting back into it is hard. I've been doing her Shred in 30 videos and the kickboxing vids...I already feel a difference and see my arms starting to sculpt out again. I was in such good shape at the beginning of last year and I let it all goooooo...ugh...stupid I was. I was traveling so much that I was just plain old tired when I was home KWIM but NO MORE. My body feels soooo much better when its strong and lifting weights is good for me...keeps the aches away and gives me more energy. But I HATE working out...you will NEVER hear me say "oh I love working out, it feels so good"....ummm yeah NO those words will never come outta this gal's mouth!! I despise working out...seriously I hate it BUT I will be 39 next month and I ain't getting younger and that means I gotta be good to my body that God gave me. So I'm yelling & cussin' at Jillian the whole entire time...if she could hear me LOL...but I do what I gotta do to get thru it hee hee! Then after I cool down, drink a gallon of water and go about my business...I DO feel better, and stronger and just plain GOOD. So for that its all worth it...I guess...check in with me tomorrow after I do another kickboxing routine...I might say somethin' else ;)
Make sure to mark your calendars for the fun at CMC!!
Everyone is welcome to join in all the fun starting April 26th!!

Buggy Friends!
Today is Wee Wednesday over at the
Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog...so that means a few of the DT gals have created some fabulous & fun projects using those super cute Wee Stamps. And YES
Magnolia-licious now carries the
Wee Stamps by Syliva Zet for Whimsey Stamps...so go check
them all out HERE! I love, love this image called
"Sympathy Bugs"...we all have a friend or relative that has helped us overcome an issue, sadness or just a bummer of a day. So I kept the colors bright and cheery to create a thank you card for someone that has brightened my day!
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
The papers are by Creative Imaginations "Loolah"...I loved the bright coral-pinks and greens...springy and happy! The papers got some distressing with my Zutter Distress machine of course...there isn't a day I don't use that machine! Then I got busy with some dies...I love me my dies as much as I love my Cameo LOL. The green vine-leafs are a Marianne Designs die as are the leaves (all got inked with dk green ink) and the pink scroll pendants are from
Memory Box "Quinn Flourish". The flowers are from Bunny-Zoe's Store and I love those white tulips...added a few wire twirls to the mix as well. The sentiment is from PTI.
These cutie pies got colored with Touch Twin markers! Then I added some DoodleBug flock to the white puffs/blooms...Stickles to the wings and Diamond Glaze to the bottoms of their feetsies!
See you back here on Friday!! Have a goodie!
Such pretty colours, just beautiful Suzanne

Oh, I just love this card, Suzanne! The pink and green are wonderful. Then, the contrast of the colors used on the stamped image just makes the image stand out. I love the foliage you added as well as the die cut in the upper right. It is so easy to see your personality through the cards you create. Good job, Ms. Sunshine!
