Today We were asked to create a card with goodies to eat on them. You have to look close, but she is eating chocolate covered strawberries while being weighed in - lol.
I made this for a sweet friend of mine who has been on the road to better health. She trains hard everyday, and has lost 100 lbs to date! She is a huge inspiration to those around her who think they cannot do it.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look. I really appreciate it.

Your card is so cute!! Losing 100 pounds could not have been easy. I hope she is able to keep the healthier things she has learned in practice. It's work and discipline.

What a cute image, Barb! So beautifully colored and layers too with that pretty lacy piece~ I adore watching Biggest Loser because this is one reality show that is definitely Real! I'm not over weight, but I certainly sympathize with the contestants and have cried with them on many occasions~

Not sure how I missed this! It looks sooo much like me except I can't get all my hair in a bun and right now I have giant blond streaks AND I NEVER have on shoes or food when I weigh! I mean, you need to get rid of every possible ounce before you get on a scale. So we know this chick had lost weight and is feeling confident. I love this image and I love that you made it for a friend who has been working hard. I am even proud of her and don't even know her - 100 lbs is GIANT. It is a seriously major accomplishment (I think 5 lbs is doing good these days). Hugz and hugz to your friend as well.
