Hi all!
Busy busy these days 😀
I’m so excited today because we 1) have some sun! Granted mixed with down pouring rain at time-like a sun shower
2) I ordered a new work out series that will HOPEFULLY help me achieve my body goals!! It is from the same guy who does the P90X workouts, only THIS ONE seems much more do-able to me 😀
Its called the 10 minute trainer <—click it
I seriously cannot wait to get started! I told the woman on the phone (since they ask)I just want to really FIRM up and get my 6 pack!! I’m 5’11 and now weigh 135lbs. So I just need to get that 6 pack I WANT/DESIRE/NEED!
She was like” That is ALL you want this program to do? Well you will be REALLY happy because people use it to usually transform their body and lose many many ponds and inches”
So I say give it try! LOL!
Now I know LOTS of people DON’T believe in the infomercials, but I do! I could have been one! I did Mitch Gaylords Melt, and lost more than the 40lbs I wanted, I lost 65lbs to date!! So I KNOW this one can work for me too! I basically believe ANY workout WILL work, if you STICK WITH IT, and then don’t go eat a box of twinkies! CONTROL!!!!
I love the 10 minute workout! I KNOW I can do it, as these exercises seemed to be more achieve-able to me than the P90X. Its the SAME guy so I totally trust it.
Jay has a friend at work who did the P90X (this is HARDCORE stuff )and I guess he has a rock solid body now
So I’ll keep you posted when I get it, on my progress, and results!
Now another reason I’m HAPPY! HAPPY!!
3) Jay and I FINALLY found a baby sitter! After 9 years of having NO SITTER, we finally have someone we can use! YIPPEE!!!
So we have a HOT date tonight! WOOT! WOOT!
She has come over a few times to get to know the kids. I also wanted to get to know her better as well. She is a neighborhood girl, and she completed her babysitters course, so it should be good to have her around. My kids are also pretty low maintenance as they are obviously potty trained, can talk, dress themselves, and are pretty self sufficient! So I’m not too worried
I will also use her this Summer as a Mother’s Helper! Someone to help out a little so I can catch up on my to do list, or to use when I go places with the kids, like a theme park.
Jay is having his back surgery to repair 2 herniated discs in his back on the 16th. OH BOY! Will life be crazy then.
He will be out of work a minimum of 4 weeks. So it will be like having another child. I’m always on the GO! GO! GO! so this will be hard for me to get use to! LOL! I want to be able to still do things with the kids, while they are on Summer vacation, and another set of eyes and hands is always a good idea! I’m paranoid my kids will get lost of abducted! LOL! So the more eyes the better! LOL!
So cross our fingers Jay’s surgery heals his back pain, and he heals quickly.
OK now onto the card. All That Scraps is having their July Release countdown! Sets go on SALE Monday the 6th! Today’s peek is Underwater Sentiments (I don’t have anything for that one) so check out the BLOG —>HERE to enter to win!
If you are itching for new images, then this is the post for you!!
Now All That Scraps has a Digi Duo for July called—> July Kiki<—-click there to purchase the 2 digi images, for only $3!
I made a CUTE card using one of them.
{make a wish }
Isn’t she SO adorable?!
I LOVE her! I didn’t want it to be *just* a 4th of July card. I think it looks like a “celebration” card.
The “make a wish” sentiment isAmyR birthday sentiments
The paper is by Cosmo Cricket-Early Bird (love that line)
I used my Star nestability, and a sponge for the effects.
I had some star shaped sticky tape, that I adhered to my card base, and added soem glitter! I think it looks cute.
Details photo:
You can’t SEE it but there is some bling to her star headband, and bracelets too!
Now MANY people ask
Q:”Can you color with your Copic markers, and digi images that used your printer ink?”
A. YES! You can! No smudging here :D) I used Papertrey Ink white cardstock, so I cannot vouch for any other brand, but never had an issue 😀
Another question I get ask A LOT (especially since I have the My Timeless Template © line
Q. What printer do you use? My printer won’t take cardstock!!
A. I have a Canon. Now my make/model is retired, but (I swear I should have bought STOCK in Canon BEFORE starting my printable template line! LOL! ) have not heard of ANYONE with a Canon (any Canon printer) have any issues with PTI heavy duty cardstock going through their printer!
Also many makes/models of other printers have a paper setting, so when you ARE using cardstock you can usually adjust your settings to accept the thicker paper! So check that out before you run out and spend any more money than you HAVE to!!
So that does it for me today!
Tomorrow I have a peek at another set for the countdown to the C.C. Designs release!
We are taking a week off from challenges, due to the holiday! I needed a break anyway. Im working on my newest template release! YEAH!
So see ya tomorrow.
PS If you have any questions you want me to answer I’ll do a Q& A on Sunday, so drop a comment here!

This is the cutest card ever! I usually don’t care for 4th of July cards….I just don’t send them. So I love the fact that you made it more birthday-ish. I will definitely get this digi. My niece is a firecracker with a July birthday. Also, I am one of those that asked about the printer. I just got a new model and it prints on all cardstock like a charm. Canon is THE best. A company I trust totally. Best of luck to your hubby. Back surgery is never fun or easy. Good luck to you both!
Just remember….Patience, breath…Patience, breath:)

Wishing Jay a successful back surgery. Herniated discs are no fun – such a bummer they wouldn’t heal on their own. Awesome on getting a babysitter and a mother’s helper!! Enjoy that date!

Hi from Down Under, Yes my Canon is super, but I have a Brother Laser too and there is a “backdoor” that you can open and cardstock goes straight through!! Hope that helps someone out there. Also back injuries do heal themselves although it takes many years..4 years in my case! Not good if you are the breadwinner!!! Mine was severe too, but avoided surgery. The advances in surgery now are astounding – so Jay will do well. G’day for now Denise
Hi Lauren,
I love your card, especially the glitter! Best Wishes for a speedy recovery for your hubby! How smart of you to find a sitter/Mother’s helper – a young person like that can be invaluable, I speak from experience, even if only using her for a mother’s helper. You will be so happy you found her – I find the more effort I put in from my end, the happier everyone is in the end and having her around to help allows you to give feedback and answer questions on the spot. Cheers to you!

Hi Lauren. Just popping in to wish you and your family a happy fourth! I’ll keep Jay’s surgery in my prayers!
Your card is adorable Lauren! Hope you and Jay had a great date night! 🙂
Super cute Lauren!! Hope Jay’s surgery goes well!! Enjoy the holiday with your family!
Best of luck to Jay. I just had my herniated disc repair surgery done on June 4th. I’ll warn ya now, the first two weeks are awful. But once he gets around that two week corner, things will start looking up.
Best of luck to you as well with your new helper.
You & your DH need to get out together once a week, glad you found a sitter. My DH & I, started our date day, years ago and we have been married for 38 yrs. now.
I Love your card, you are soooo creative, it just beautiful!
5 11″ oh how I envy you! I am 5 3″ and have always wished at be taller. I’ll bet you look great.
Pattyjo :+)
Gorgeouse Card! Happy 4th to you.
You need to post your before and after pics of your progress so far….it will help motivate us too 🙂
Timmi

happy 4th and thanks for the continued inspiration.

Hey Lauren, I am new to the digi images and the templates,but I am dieing to try them!! What size of card stock do you use for the templates? I just got a HP 8550, so it does 13X19. I am very excited. My husband has the P90X, and he loves it. Talk about a workout!! I did see the one you are using, and with you input, I think I will try it. I am also trying to decide which copic to try, the original or sketch. Were do you purchase yours? Papertrey ink probably!!LOL Good luck to Jay and your whole family. Very cute card. Thanks for your time on the questions.
Sandy
Oh so adorable! LOVE the stars with the glitter! Perfect for your “celebration” card.
Hope Jay’s surgery goes well and he has a swift recovery. I really hope he is pain-free and totally mobile after his recovery. Congrats on finding a competent, available babysitter! That’s awesome…especially with Jay’s surgery coming up.
Happy 4th of July! Have a safe, fun celebration tonight :O)
Hi Lauren –
Happy 4th to you and yours!
Would be really interested in your updates on the 10 minute workout .. I consider my walk from the train station to work and then back again, my workout!! 😉 Seriously, anxious to hear. My honey, is considering the hardcore program, no thanks, I’ll watch.
Have a wonderful time on your date tonight! Now that you have found a sitter you are comfy with, you have to start doing that more often .. make that a regular occurrence on your calendar. Rotate the planning .. it’s fun!!
Best wishes to your honey on his upcoming surgery. I will keep him in my prayers .. you too!
Happy 4th of July Lauren!
Thanks for the info.on the printers, my hubby and I will be checking them out befre he deploys. 🙁
I will be keeping your hubby in my prayers that his back surgery goes well and he recovers quickly and without incident. I may have to go through it myself in the future. My L3-L5 discs are shot and the PT isn’t working.
Beachbody.com seems to have a lot of successful weight loss/fitness programs. I lost 75 pounds using the Slim in 6 program and watching what I ate (20 -40 fat grams per day) and walking on the treadmill – unfortunately I gained it back when I started teaching and didn’t have time to workout or eat. I really think those resistance bands are the way to go. Hope you will let us all know how the 10 minute trainer goes for you. Best of luck chica – you are kickin’ some serious fitness butt – WOO HOO! You go girl!

Congrats on finally finding a sitter you can trust. Have fun on your hot date! Prayers for Jay’s surgery, I sure hope it takes care of his back pain. Oh, we just had to replace our dead printer and got a Cannon, so finally I have a printer that takes cardstock!!! That was my number one priority. I had to check with the PSF’s to see who had what, and what problems before we went shopping.
Hope your hubby has a great recovery!
I have a HP all in one 1315 and it takes the PTI cs fine!
Way to go on finding a sitter! I never could find one and now mine all old enough – to watch themselves and the wee-one.
Lots of prayers for J and his upcoming surgery. Let me know if you need anything, okay?
I wish our printer wasn’t almost new. It doesn’t take cardstock – at least the heavier stuff. Drives me nuts.
Super cute card – I just love it!
Let me know about the workout video – I’m interested.
Gotta run –
Hugs and love,
Renee
Keeping Jay in prayer for a successful surgery and quick recovery.
You have every right to be a bit paranoid about protecting your children. These re weird times we are living in. Glad you will have someone trustworthy to help you. It wil ease your mind.
I am 50 lbs overweight and on hypertension meds. I’m 60, so it’s not uncommon. My busy life doesn’t allow much time for exercise either, but only 10 minutes! I should be able to squeeze that in. It sounds worth it. Thanks for the heads-up. Let us know your take on its effectiveness. Young lady…you’re such an inspiration, even to a senior citizen such as I.
It makes me so satisfied your vast understanding and wisdom have a new channel on the world.
