watering can card

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to drop by and visit me at the charmed life blog. It was another all day rain here in Pittsburgh.

Driving was not fun and of course it was one of those days that I was out and about. I went to a cooking class at the Crate Cooking School. It's a local retail store and she conducts cooking classes as well.

This one was a demonstration class. It's the type that  I prefer. The instructors prepare the food and we eat it. I have been to the hands on classes as well but I dont like them as well.

I like taking notes and watching what they do so when I am back in my kitchen I can re-create th meal we had. today it was: Roasted Eggplant Parmesan • Fennel Salad with Supremed Oranges • Dried Cherry and Pistachio Biscotti.

Everything was so yummy. I have never made biscotti and today I saw that it is pretty simple to prepare. I am definitely going to try it. I think I will make the eggplant and salad this weekend.

Because I have some special visitors. My sweet little Phoenix Daisy is coming to Pittsburgh to visit her Grandmother. I am so excited. It's been 2 months since we visited with Brett & Ghilly. They will only be staying until Monday but I will have them all for 3 full days. Fun-fun-fun!!

Here is a recent picture of Phoenix Daisy. It's her first pair of jeans. Too cute I tell you!!

So onto my card for today. I made this one for the technique challenge on splitcoaststampers. We were to make an odd shaped card. I remembered this temple that I had for a watering can. It is from Waltzingmouse stamps.

I printed it on cardstock 2x  and then cut it out. I used rose red cardstock and a matching designer paper. The flower is a new Stampin-Up Sizzix die - fun flowers.

I cut it from the rose red cardstock and the designer paper is from Stampin-Up's  "cutie pie" collection.
My butterfly is a spellbinders die and I used the same designer paper.
On the handle & spout I used the cuttlebug dots embossing folder.
That completed this card.

Other challenges:

1.  ABC Challenge has a "p" is for pearls challenge. I used pearls on my butterfly.
2.  Craft your passion blog has an anything goes challenge.
