Birthday Treats

Hey, all! Sorry I've been so quiet here on the blog. Not only have I been busy with fun summer activities, but every time I sit down to craft, the mojo is nowhere to be found.
On a good note, I've been focusing on my health, & I've lost 25 lbs. since the end of March (almost 50 lbs. since my heaviest a few years ago). Woohoo!

Anyway, on to the craftiness. My buddy, JoLynn, is celebrating a birthday tomorrow, so I threw together some treats for her. 

I was inspired by this cute paper sack, so I used similar colors & a polka dot theme.

JoLynn & I are Zumba buddies, so I wanted to give her some healthier snacks.
I started with a pack of watermelon gum...
 and added some Crystal Light packets. I also threw in some 100-calorie pack snacks for good measure.
Here's the glittery card I paired it all with.

Hope you like it!

Stamps: Tart & Tangy, A Little Birthday Cheer (SU), Pucker Up (A Muse), Feelin' Fruity? (My Favorite Things)
Paper: PTI white, Raspberry Fizz, Echo Park & American Crafts pp
Ink: Only Orange, Pixie Pink, Yoyo Yellow, Green Galore, Taken with Teal, Basic Black
Accessories: SU circle punch, Martha Stewart glitter, dimensionals, American Crafts flair, Michaels ribbon

How cute and bright! And so thoughtful of you!! Way to go on your new healthiness! I've been working on it too, slow going, but 13 pounds since June. I got the Zumba for the Wii, but I am NO good at it! I got frustrated after 10 minutes and quit, maybe I should try again! ha!
