A couple of cards, some cupcakes and some daff's

First up is my card for the Forever Friends challenge this week which is to use the fabby sketch provided. Such a simple little card think I'll be making a few more like this!
My 2nd card is for the Colour Create challenge which is yellow/green/orange, what better than another of Chris's (sketching stamper) daffodil download images? The backing paper is from my new Papermania spring time pack, which qualifies my card for the Cupcake Crafts 'spring' challenge to!!Our garden is full of mini daffodils (prefer them to full sized ones!) hubby said yesterday he couldn't believe how many there were, we must plant them and forget!!!Yesterday we visited hubby's mum and dad, it's his dad's birthday tomorrow so we took his pressies and cards. We were expecting his brother and family to be there to so I made some cupcakes for us all to have with a cuppa!! We got there and they weren't there, they were seeing them today instead!! Still his dad will enjoy eating them (he likes my cakes) and his mum is a diebetic so doesn't cook too many sweet things these days!!
We couldn't believe how freaky the weather was, we arrived and it was nice and bright, after lunch whilst sitting in the room all of a sudden it got a lot darker and it poured and the wind was making it hammer at the windows, there was hail to!! Then within about 20 minutes it brightened up again as if it had never happened. Then just before we left it started hailing again! We followed the blackest sky I think we have ever seen all the way home, to the right of us the sky was so bright but infront and to the left was just black, we kept going in and out of heavy hail and rain. We were so pleased to get home again!
