Easter is coming....

Hope you all have had a great weekend! We had a bunch of snow here in Southern Alberta, but it shouldn't last too long since it's March. It's the heavy kind of snow that makes great snowmen, but there may not be too much left tomorrow for the kids to play in! I wanted to participate in Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #60 shown here. Usually I find it hard to get a card done in time, but I really put some effort in to finish.

Supplies: Close to My Heart My Acrylix stamp set "Eastertime", purple, black & white cardstock; Prima flowers; pop dots; BIC markers; Stamping Bella bling; Michael's ribbon.

Our family has been quite worried this weekend because my Grandma broke her hip on Friday night. She thankfully had surgery today to fix it because she was in alot of pain. Hopefully she will recover okay since she is 90 years old. She is a tough lady, and we are really hoping she's going to recover well. My Mom will be coming home from holidays the first of April, and I know she's really worried about her Mom. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

Thanks for coming by!

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #49

Well, I survived my 40th Birthday, although it wasn't the best weekend. My daughter is finally getting over a cold with a high fever just in time to go back to school, and my husband is in the hospital because he's hurt his back. I know he's getting the very best care, but I wish he was home. Not the best end to the holiday season to say the least.

Anyway, to cheer myself up, I wanted to try Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #49 from her blog Taylored Expressions. This lady is so talented! Her sketches are really inspiring, so here's my version. Check out her blog for some fantastic stamps and paper. She is just releasing a whole pile of new ones!


Supplies: Close to My Heart white and Sweet Leaf textured cardstock, plain white cardstock, My Acrylix Stamps - Say it in Style (Hello!) and Groovy (flowers), ribbon and black ink; Prima flowers; Stamping Bella Bling; Bic markers; Sweet Life patterned paper.
Thanks for stopping by! and here's to better times to come!
