my stylin' chicks

Happy Tuesday and thanks for taking the time to visit he charmed life blog. It was snowing here today. But, I did notice that some of our daffodils are in bloom. I guess they don't care that it is still cold. They know when to start growing and when to bloom. Spring is here. We just don't have the warm weather yet.

I met my grandsons school bus today. I just love Tuesdays because I get to spend a few hours with them. We do homework together, spend time talking and then if they have any after school activities I take them .  It's a busy and sometimes hectic few hours but  I wouldn't trade the time with time. It's so precious.

Today they were all excited about buying a new video game. Aidin & Ethan were pooling their money in . They ask so innocently so how could I refuse them.
I took  Austin went to his basketball workout and then Ethan & I went to the video store to buy the baseball game they wanted.

Now the day is quickly drawing to a close. I wanted to post the card I made earlier today for the color challenge on splitcoaststampers.

Karen is our hostess this week and she chose some great colors for us to work with. I would never have thought that pear pizzazz, poppy parade and baja breeze would work well together. But, I was proved wrong.

I wanted to start making some Easter cards and I thought of the "good egg" stamp set from Stampin-Up. I decided to use patterned paper in today's colors and piece it on the shells. I love the look.

I took my layout from the sketch challenge on Saturday's crazy for challenges blog.

I added more patterned paper from Stampin-Up's "greenhouse gala" collection and some poppy parade ribbon to complete my card.

This is also for a few other challenges:

1.  The jac-inks papercraft challenge blog wants us to use any combo of the new S.stampin-up in-colors. Well, I used pear pizzazz and poppy parade on this card.
2.  The Tuesday Throwdown  blog wanted us to make a card with a spring theme.
3.  Craft your passion has an anything goes challenge.

Time to dim the lights in chamed life land for another day. So until next time.......
