I hope that all of you have had a terrific weekend. My weekend has been busy but a good one. I got a little more accomplished then most weekends. :)
I have a card, two photos, a page and word Art to share with those of you who visit my blog. First my card. I made my card by using the PPA 88-Celebrity Color Challenge. The challenge was to use the colors Crumb Cake-Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight.
Here is my card.
Here is what I used.
Stamps: Bring in the Cake(sentiment). Card-stock: Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Dafodill Delight and Whisper White. Inks: Pear Pizzazz. DP: In Color Paper Patterns. Dies: Sizzlets Little Leaves and Embosslit Simple flower. I also used Brights buttons, twine and a satin Daffodil ribbon. All items are from Stampin'UP! The square dies are not from SU. I *really* like this color combination very much!
I took this photo of Aubrey and Wayne at Caleb's birthday party. Neither one of them knew that I was capturing a simple yet very special moment between grandpa and our youngest granddaughter. It is now my favorite photo of the two of them together.
Here is my page.
I made this page for my challenge at Soul Sisters, DC32-Digital Challenge-Color Combination. If you would like to participate but do not make digital pages your welcome to play along using traditional pages as well as Hybrid pages. The color combination is: Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Rose Red and Basic Black. To make my page I used the My Digital Studio program. My title was made using PSE.
Here is the word art that I made for the title of my page. If you would like to use it for your personal page or a photo feel free to download it at 4Shared
Lastly, I have a photo of me that was taken yesterday. Wayne and I went for a walk. It was the very first day of 2011 that I was able to get outdoors and walk. It has been a tough road back to my walking outdoors.
I was only able to walk for a mile but it was wonderful. I love walking as many of you know. I went out again today and again was able to walk for a mile. So with lots of determination I hope to be at 2 miles within a few weeks. Wayne took this photo of me. :)
The past few days we have had Sunshine and temps between 54-62 degrees. Tomorrow we may get up to 71 degrees. It has been great! The snow is almost gone so that is exciting. It's the small things in life that truly make me happy. :) What are the small things make you happy?
Stay safe and Smile :)
Love it, love it, love it. All of it.

Have a good week.

Your card is lovely - I adore that embosslit flower - so sweet! And so is your grandaughter! Glad you are getting outside again - it has been a tough winter for walking here but I did mangage to get out most days even if it was for a short time!

Lovely, springlike card, Mary! I can see how ready for spring you truly are by the colors you chose. That Grandpa, grandchild photo is so sweet. Glad you live close enough to be part of their lives. I'm SO happy that your snow is almost all gone. I'm going walking this morning with a friend before it gets too hot - up in the 90's again today. We had a tiny bit of rain & lots of marble size hail last night. We really need LOTS of rain since we are in drought conditions right now. It's been a strange winter & so far we have zoomed right into summer with temps near 100 for several days. Oh well, as long as I have my air conditioner I shouldn't complain! : ) Blessings!
