You're Beary Special



Hi everyone! Here's a card I made with Fall-to Layout 49. The stamps, DP, Prism paper, ribbon and candy dots are all from Taylored Expressions.

The belly and feet pads were paper pieced with the DP. A second image was stamped, colored, and popped up on foam tape. The Papaya mat behind the bear is also on foam tape. The Candy Dot was colored with a R22 Copic.



Here's the inside. The heart is also from the Beary Special set, stamped on the same DP and popped up on foam tape.



SUPPLY LIST ~
Stamps: TE Beary Special
Paper: PTI Select White, Papaya Prism Paper and DP from Taylored Expressions June Key Ingredients Kit
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics: E42, E43, R22
Accessories: Taylored Expressions Pink Twill Ribbon, Candy Dot, Foam Tape, Rectangle Nestabilities
Card Size: 4.25" Square

So guess what I'm doing today?.....I'm starting a 12-week training program at my gym and this a.m. at 9:00 I have my initial fitness evaluation followed by my first work-out session with a personal trainer! I've never worked with a personal trainer before, and I'm totally excited! I'm good about going to the gym a few times a week (I take the Les Mills BodyStep classes)....I'm BAD about eating right to back up my workouts, which totally defeats the purpose of going to the gym, right? With this program, I'll not only have a customized workout with both cardio AND strength training, but I'll have someone keeping after me and reviewing what I'm eating, weighing me, measuring me....hawking my progress...something I TOTALLY need. I'm hoping I can whip this 40-year-old bod into some serious shape. Wish me luck!

    Such a beautiful card Denise...just love it!

    I wish we had a nice gym close by, as I could sure use a personal trainer too! I need to lose this stubborn-exta-10 pounds and firm up some areas....at 42, it gets harder to stay fit and keep it off!

    You're going to do just great...good luck!
