My first card was inspired by this yummy looking cupcake from the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge blog.

| The colors of my frosting really are peach and lime green IRL even though they don't look like it! |
As before I wanted a very simple design for Nayeli, my "Student" to recreate. Here is a picture of her and my BFF, Diane, and the cards they made:
The die we used for this card is an "I Love You" die from Penny Black. Nayeli added the "I" and "You" on the face of her card which I thought was really creative! but then she surprised me by taking the negative from the die cut and stenciling the whole sentiment on the inside of her card. Really clever and sweet. She said she would give her card to her daughter in Mexico City.
I would like to share one more picture in this post - a picture of "the whole group" this picture was taken on the 15th of this month - the day our friends arrived. There are about 6 more to come before the middle of May! We live in a very tiny little house that gets to bulge!! with the arrival of our friends!! We just cram everyone in! LOL - no one seems to mind : ) I need to take a picture next time they come to cook for us. Imagine 6 - 8 men in the kitchen!! you'll love seeing it. I wish you could be here to not only enjoy the company but to taste the AMAZING!! food!! : )
I hate to make this longer than it already is but I need to be sure to give Vikki her daily joke *wink* What did the farmer get when he crossed a centipede with a turkey?..... 100 drumsticks!! : P
BIG (((HUGS)))

ROFL hahahahahahahaha I need to share this with my 70 year old hubby (today is his birthday). We just completed a 12 mile round trip into town for a falafel and a refreshing cold Starbucks ice tea. So proud of your mentoring your group. Y'all look happy!
What a great group photo!! I LOVE both of your cards!! The cup cake is perfect with all that lovely white space. I adore your second card, though. That hand stamp is so cool!! Great design on both cards!
Darn auto correct gets me every time... What a delightful fun post today Patti! Your cards are so sweet but I love the pictures of you and your friends from Mexico. What a crew to have in a tiny house. Love it!!
Fantastic post, Patti! You are the one to be commended for the fantastic outreach you have going! The cards are excellent, but that photo is so full happiness and love. Wow! What a fantastic thing to do. Your heart is huge! Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs.

Thank YOU, Patti, for sharing your friends with us!
You are SO right about wishing myself right there in that kitchen! I can only imagine the wonderful food they created - not the American version of Mexican food, I'll bet!
Gorgeous creations, too!

Awesome card designs and I bet not only is she learning English but you are also picking up on some Spanish as well. And, I love the group photo of you and your guests. That must be so fun!
It looks like Nayeli isn't the only one learning, Patti. Muchas Gracias mi amiga, for all you do. Love the cards.
Thank you for sharing the photos of Nayeli and her fabulous card and didn't she do fabulously well?....great job x Loved the photo of your full house, great memories for you and it looked like so much fun x

Oh WOW, Patti, this looks like so much fun! I really enjoyed seeing all the photos! The cards you all made are so cute!
What a "sweet" (pun intended) card, Patti! :) Perfect card to teach to your wonderful student. She did amazing on the second card by adding her own style! Looks like a lot of fun with the group of you. I can imagine the food! My SIL is from Mexico and hubby and I were treated to Chilaquiles on Sunday! Yummy!! xx
