I hate dieting . . . food is so much better full of fat & calories :) Nonetheless, today I began this . . .
I have found it really the only diet (or should I say "new way of life") that works me me - my husband is joining in the fun. We did this together once before, right after I had Ryan. It was months & months of sticking to it - but in the end, I actually got down to my college weight. Here's me in college - a quick flashback to the mid/late 90's :)
By the way - a quick collage like this is SUPER EASY to do in Picnik - such a great photo editing tool. I definitely recommend checking it out :)
Anyways - tonight's dinner - egg beaters & fat free hot dogs with a side of ketchup - yum (just kidding).
Has anyone been checking all the new scrapbook goodies sneak peeking all over the net???? I am in LOVE with sooooooooooooooooo many - now to find a way to put them on the credit card without my hubby noticing!!!
Speaking of new goodies - I had a chance to play with one of Imaginisce's new lines - Scooter's Vacation & oh boy is it CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the bright colors in this line - just adorable. Here is my first project I created with this line . . .
My favorite part of this layout was the dot on the "i" - created using the FABULOUS I-Top!!! I first created a brad using white fabric - then I carefully covered it with one of the sweet rub-ons in the collection - the rub-ons totally adhered to the fabric no problem!! How awesome is that????
Have a fabulous Monday!! I'll be back with more goodies this week :)

JULIE! That layout is one of your best EVER! I love how you did the fan fold flowers on both sides like that. The pinked matting is striking -that must have taken a while...Oh, and super cute photos~

ReplyDeleteI am not dieting but I did start the work out plan this week. 1/2 hour on the elliptical M-F. I did this back in the spring without really changing my eating habits and dropped 12 pounds. SO just adding in the exercise worked for me. Good luck with the weight watchers.
