For my card, I chose to semi-CASE my friend Maria Gurnsey's card here where she used that cute gingham for the tree tops! (GLG... that's code for Gotta' Love Gingham!) I used this sweet pink polka dot paper to piece my tree top, but it doesn't show up very well! No worries... Maria enabled me to order that Spring Trees set from CHF today anyway, so I'll just copy her card completely once it arrives!
I hope you'll make time for the Throwdown sometime today or later this week!
Many, many, many thanks to all of you who have left me such wonderful comments about my health and weight loss goals! Many of you brought tears to my eyes, and all made me smile! I won't go into a lot of details, but if I'm truly going to lose all the weight I *need* to lose, it totals 150 pounds. So as you can well imagine, a healthier me is definitely something that needs to come about! Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, pumping for all it's worth beneath all this fat! I appreciate it so much!
Have a great day!
Stamps: tree from Making the Grade (Kim Hughes collection by Cornish Heritage Farms), sentiment (Impression Obsession)
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red (Stampin' Up!), designer paper (Lasting Impressions)
Ink: Momento Rich Cocoa, Vesamagic Jumbo Java (Tsukineko)
Accessories: ribbon (Offray), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder (Provo Craft), Threading Water punch (Fiskars).
GLG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad I have a friend in gingham :) I love the card and can't wait to see your CHF tree creations!!! Love your work, YOU ARE FABULOUS ;)

You card is is great. I love the heart button idea. And all the best of luck on your quest for a healthier you. Remember to take one day at a time especially in the beginning so things don't overwhelm you. You can do it!!! Just believe in yourself and the power that you have to control your destiny. You will do this....just stay the course and God bless you.
