Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge

Today I needed to make a sympathy card for a friend who lost their mother last night. I decided to use the sketch provided by Taylored Expressions for their Cupcake Challenge #61.

Here is Taylor's sketch:

Here is my card:


I used my K&Co "Ancestry" papers again - LOVE them! The sentiment is printed off my computer. Our Daily Bread Designs has a new stamp set which includes this sentiment, and I'm planning on getting it sometime in the near future. But since I needed something for this card now, so I decided I would just print it for now.

Alzheimer's Assoc Fund Drive w/Jen Tapler

As I was checking out some of the blogs I've been following, I came accross the perfect way to put this card that I made a few weeks ago to good use!

Jen Tapler is asking all talented card crafters out there to help in her efforts to raise money for a cause that is very close to her heart; her dad is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Jen is collecting donated cards which she will be selling on-line and she will be donating the procedes to the Alzheimer's Association. All who participate are entered in a drawing for blog candy worth over $250!! Will you help, too???

Click here for more information on the Alzheimer's Association.

For more details on how to participate in this worthy cause, and be entered in the drawing for some yummy candy, check out Jen's blog:
