Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 39!

Faith in the storm...now there is a statement that is said but wow is it ever powerful when you see it lived. It is October which can be a hard month for my sis...as it is her firstborn's birthday month. Sadly, for us, he is no longer on earth and as I watched my sister live "faith through the storm" I was inspired by the memory of her strength. I found myself saying prayers as I remember my nephew.
With the help of Taylor's fabulous cupcake challenge sketch I created this with a new set that is released today at Cornish Heritage Farms. It is called "Beacon of Hope" and I thought it looked really neat on the backdrop of this Thomas Kinkade patterned paper. I colored the images with my copics, staying with the grey/blue palette in the paper.

Here is the sketch so you can play along in TAYLOR'S challenge.
Don't forget to see what the rest of the cupcake crew came up with:
Stephanie Hargis: Steph's Stampin' Stuff
Vicki Chrisman: This Art that makes me Happy
Jami Sibley: More is More
Monika Davis: M.A.D. Stamper
Ana Wohlfahrt: Ink A Stamp
Donna Baker: Stamp A Maniac

Enjoy your blog hopping today, I know there are tons of great projects with Taylor's new release...which makes it a very special cupcake friday!



I found this stamped sentiment for the card quite comforting and inspiring...so I thought I would leave you for the weekend on that note....
