Lose it!

Hi everyone, I was needing to loose a few pounds and wanted to keep track of what I ate. I found this AWESOME program for free :) here on the web and just wanted to share it with you. It's a calorie counter called Lose It!  It's very easy to use. Keeping track of what I eat is something I need to do and this program does this ! The program calculates what my calorie intake should be that day, it calculates the calories that I burn off from my walking/exercise oh and it even lets me know the date of when I will reach my goal!  lol  just wanted to share :)

ps thought I should mention that I get no profit from this site/program. I found it out there while surfing and wanted to share

Here is my take on the October challenge over at Scrapn with flair
The papers that I used is left overs from a page that I had done. It is from the Bo Bunny line. I had to fussy cut the flowers which was a bit time consuming but worth it :) if you look closely to the large flower center I used Crackle accents from ranger and then once dried I inked the cracks with vintage distress ink The corrugated cardboard came from a box lol I just peeled back the paper, inked it and voila! This card was given to my sister who hosted the thanksgiving meal. Between you and me she loved it! hope you get some ideas here.

on Strike!

My son had started a post secondary school on Aug 30 he managed to get in 4 days of classes before the teachers went on strike! What a bummer for him. So now he is back here in the city visiting which is nice but.... sigh. Hopefully the strike will not last long.

week 6 color Black

Okay, I am still trying to catch up I am supposed to do a black set, white set, front and back covers! I am running out of time! haha this is the last week for the class and I didn't finish my homework :( sigh. I am determined to finish my color book!
Here is an wonderful photo of "Spot" our dog. I am not sure why I was having a hard time putting this one together but I finally did it. I am happy with the final results :)

week 5 color purple

Sorry,I have been on vacation and did not keep up with the class or the blog. I just finished week 5 last night. I just had to take a photo of my little one eyed one horn flying purple people eater and he sings it for me also hahaha I love it! trying to use my scraps of paper that I seem to have so much of. I did learn a new technique. Punch holes and place a differnt colored paper behind to give a differnt effect. Simple! can you see that I did that on both pages?
Now have to work on blue :)
