Retro Sketches Challenge #129: Happy Birthday


I've been sharing a lot of my fitness posts and I haven't had the chance to share some crafty stuff. :)
So, today I'm sharing with you a card that I made for Retro Sketches challenge #129. This is the sketch I had to follow... 
Here is what I did....

This is the inside...

I used a kraft colored card stock base with the honeycomb yellow paper as the background. I then used a grey polka dot patterned paper on top with a small flag of the honeycomb patterned paper with the Happy Birthday sentiment heat embossed with grape scented embossing powder. Yup. I said grape scented embossing powder. Cool, hu? I thought so. I then added the small flag with the cloud pattern on it and a wooden daisy on top. the bike on the bottom is a Martha Stewart sticker. Sooooooo cute. On the side I just added a small sentiment, "may all your dreams come true". Inside I kept it pretty simple with the sentiment, "go forth and party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY". I'll share more detail about the products I used later tonight. 

Wish me luck! :)

11 Day Diet

Image
Years ago I tried this diet called the 11 day diet and I was super pleased with the results. The first time I did it I lost a total of 8lbs in the span of 11 day along with exercise. The second time around I lost another 9 lbs. It was such a great tool at helping me understand how to split up my meals throughout the day, as well as better understanding "eating till I'm satisfied"; choosing more nutritious options that are still easy to prepare. It broke it down for me for the first time in an easy step by step way that I knew was effective.  This diet is really easy to follow and contains very basic food options that makes it very affordable and realistic to follow. It also helps with guiding you to better understand your proper eating habits making sure you are eating enough and not depriving yourself so that you have the proper fuel you need for your day and your workouts.  I am planning on starting it up again this month and I need some ACCOUNTABILITY to h

Ziplock Bag Greenhouse Effect

Image
Sup ya'll. Last year I was successful in getting some seeds to grow from placing the seeds in a zip lock bag, along with a piece of paper towel, a few drops of water, seeds, and taping them to the window allowing the sunlight to work its magic.  About a month ago, I did the same thing and planted them in some soil. I am enjoying the process of that.  In the meantime, I decided to do it a third time and maybe share the process.  In the zip lock bags I have the following seeds:  Rosemary  Carrot Mint Catnip Spinach Red Cherry Tomato Stevia  Borage  English Tall Lavender German Chamomile  Thyme  Sugar Baby Watermelon Purple Petra Basil I will make an effort to share the process and success rate of these guys as well as the planted ones that are happy in some soil.

Popsicle Stick Photo Frames

Image
I had the best time hanging out with Naya and Noah yesterday making popsicle stick frames.  I just so happen to have my Instax camera on hand so we decide to have a bit of a photo shoot after their lunch. One we were done wainting FOREVER for the pictures to develop ;) we decided to get crafting. We choose the popsicle sticks we wanted to use without exactly having an a true intention of how things would turn out other than making some sort of picture frame. Below is the list of materials we had on hand to use. Materials  Popsicle sticks + Wood Glue + Yarn+ Cardstock Paper + Scissors+ Watercolors/Crayons  We started out with painting and coloring our popsicle sticks. Some of use used thin ones and some used the tick ones; both look great but the thicker ones are a little easier to hold on to while they paint or color them.  Using either watercolors or crayons works out well; it really is just dependent on your preference.  After coloring the
