Thank God it's Cupcake Friday!!! I've needed this day for about a week & a half now - lol. I love Taylor's sketch this week as usual and decided to make something a little fun - stamp the tree from Branching Out, decorate it with spring ornaments and split the panels for the sketch. This card took an incredible amount of time to make (mainly because *Lee Murphy was over visiting & we were chatting a LOT so I took forever to organize my thoughts for the card!) I like how it turned out, though! Since I used so many elements from the Branching Out set & Coordinates, I decided to forego embellishments - but the bottom scallop designer paper in the Easter Key Ingredients is the perfect touch of non-embellishment embellishment, don't ya think?? 
Here is Taylor’s sketch so you can play along too!! You can be eligible to win Cupcake Sampler Honors & be featured on Taylor’s blog using the next Cupcake Friday Sketch! You’re not required to use cupcakes on your sketch, but if you got ‘em why not use ‘em?? You can create something other than a card but try to keep as close to the sketch as possible. If you’re uploading to Splitcoast, please use keyword TECC58. Leave a comment on Taylor’s post with a link to your blogpost or gallery link so she can check it out! You must have your creation uploaded by Monday, March 9 at 10:00 a.m. CST to be eligible for the featured cupcake sampler honors. Lastly, be sure to have FUN creating!
