Retro Sketches Challenge #129: Happy Birthday

Image
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&quo

Zumba Time!!

My favorite work out days are the days I can add ZUMBA to my routine. Usually Wednesday and Thursday, but I do try to squeeze in a class on Monday as well. I have been doing Zumba from day 1 of my fitness journey about 4 years ago. At that time I was a member of Total Woman. I loved all of the classes they offered especially Zumba and kickboxing. ... Man, I really miss that Kick boxing class. Anyhow, I was hesitant about taking the class because I am not a very coordinated person. I like to dance and i'm decent at it but my coordination is horrible. I didn't want to mess any one up. :/ But I took the chance. Not something I do often but, I'm trying. After taking that first initial class I fell in LOVE. The music, the dance moves, the ladies. you can be at any fitness level and truly benefit and enjoy the class. The music is a mix of Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Punta, Bachata, Samba, Reggae, Hip Hop, & Pop. The music selection varies depending on the instructor you get. T
