Easter with G'ma and G'pa




The Easter bunny managed to find us in Reno this year. We enjoyed a few relaxing days with G'ma and G'pa to round out our Spring Break week. The kids loved all the Easter traditions as always. We made these cupcakes this year. My G'ma Grimmett used to make cake similar to this for her kids (my mom) growing up. In honor of her were going to start carrying on that tradition. She passed away last November.

It looks like you had a wonderful easter! I like the cupcake, that'll be neat for you guys to carry on that tradition. I'll have to ask Anthony if he remembers it. How did you make the grass?

I covet the Silhouette! I want it so bad I can't tell you. My friend has a vinyl lettering machine but I have asked her about vinyl for the silhouette and she says to go to signwarehouse.com and look for series 631. You will have to cut the vinyl down to fit the silhouette but it's a lot cheaper and they have a ton of colors.

The fonts are...Black Jack (cursive letters) and Mandingo ('spring'). All her fonts came from the internet so if you don't already have them you can get them easy enough.

What size vinyl does the silhouette take? Is it a true 12" or is it smaller. I want to even say 8". Did you find a good deal on your machine or just buy it straight from Quickutz? I have been bidding on ebay but not too seriously. Hope this helps. Let me know what you think of the vinyl website or if you find a cheaper site.
