My cartoon alter-ego

I did this card a while ago. I just loved the stamp. I call her the "birthday babe."

I also did a version of it in orange tones to give to a friend with an October birthday.

Anyway, I chose to post the "birthday babe" today because when I bought the stamp last year, she reminded me of the figure I had oh, say, a few years back (OK, more than a few, but who's counting?).

And I have been on my diet lately, trying, trying so hard to be good. It is tough to diet when you are a foodie like I am.

But I lost another 2.5 pounds this week. Yay for me!

So the "birthday babe" is my sort-of inspiration. She's hot for a cartoon, huh?
