We had a wonderful weekend with our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter Phoenix Daisy. It was a quick visit but family time is so wonderful no matter how short it is.
On Friday night we had our extended family over for a visit so they could meet Phoenix Daisy. My son really enjoyed the time with his cousins, aunts & uncles.
The energy a baby brings into a home is incredible. Everything is so quiet and we are missing them already. But, I am going to visit with them over Easter. My other son and his family will be going as well. My grandsons are really looking forward to the trip.

My card for today is one that I made for the splitcoaststampers color challenge. We were to use baja breeze (blue), soft suede(brown) and crumb cake (kraft). The colors were so soft and spring like that I decided to make a card that reflected spring.
My little silhouette girls are a stamp from Great Impressions. I used the Stampin-Up tulip embossing folder along with some patterned paper from Stampin-Up's springtime vintage collection.
I used some crumb cake taffeta ribbon and a fabric button all from Stampin-Up. The sentiment is from a set by Papertrey Ink. I won the set on Stephanie Kraft's blog a few months ago.
That completes my cad for today. One more thing before I sign off. I have a friend whose nephew was just found to have a tumor on his kidney. Please pray for Bryan. He is having a biopsy tomorrow.
Some other challenges:
1. The ABC Challenge wants us to use a quote or sentiment on our card.
2. The Creative Cottage challenge has a spring has sprung challenge.
3. Aly's Sunday challenge is sponsoring an anything goes challenge.
4. The Crafty Pad has a button challenge.
