Happy Easter

Happy Sunday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. It is pretty cold and snowy here in Pittsburgh but honestly I like having winter. We had our fireplace going last night and I was just really comfy. Now if I had to be ousidet for a long time maybe I wouldn't like it so much.

We had an excellent service at church this morning. The worship team was fabulous and our Pastor had a good message. A perfect start to my week, I tell ya.  We went to lunch afterwards with a young couple that we mentor.

This afternoon my hubby took a nap and I got my sample ready for the color challenge on Splitcoaststampers this coming Tuesday. I also have a blog hop upcoming with Marks Finest Papers starting Tuesday. There is a chance to win some stamps so stop back on Tuesday.

Now onto my card for today. I made this one for the virtual stamping night on Splitcoaststampers. This was the 5:00 pm challenge hosted by Kelly. She wanted us to create a card with either a chicken or an egg or both.

I immediately thought of the Stampin-Up set- " a good egg" and my card was started from there. I had both the chicken and the egg. I decided to paper piece my eggs and went with the color scheme of wisteria wonder and pear pizzazz. I colored the chicks with prismacolor pencils.

The designer paper I used is from the Stampin-Up "sweet shop collection" and the in-color pattern pack.

I also used a Martha Stewart border punch and layered some white ribbon over that.

That's my card.

Well, its late now and time to dime the lights in charmed life land for another day. So until next time......God bless.

Some other challenges:
1.  Stampin Sisters in Christ have a challenge to create a happy card. I think my little chicks are happy.
2.  CES challenge wants us to uselots of layers - 3 or more. I like using layers on my cards.
3.  Moving Along With The Times has a cute critters challenge.
