STRONG IS THE NEW SKINNY

Jul 11, 2013

Welcome to another

Cameo Creations Challenge!

Where it's all about Silhouette all the time!

If you have any Silhouette machine,

(Silhouette SD or Silhouette Cameo)

Join in the fun!

This week's challenge is:

Glitter it up

(click on each image to enlarge it)

Come and play along with us over at

Cameo Creations.

I want to dedicate this card to my girly Sandra Rosario from 365 Days of Cricut. Sandra has been on one amazing journey as she's lost 69 pounds in the last 5 months while her hubby was deployed. She's gone from a size 20 to being a few inches away from a size 2 with lots of hard work, sweat, and healthy eating. She's been a huge encouragement to lots of friends on Facebook. And I thought I'd send a little cheer to my girl. Even the greatest cheerleader needs a little cheer thrown her way ;)

I've been living healthier for nearly a year. I've lost over 40 pounds and several dress sizes. I'm not yet at my fitness goal, but I'm having a blast getting there. For those of you who battle the bulge... stay strong. STONG IS THE NEW SKINNY!!!
