another Simple Sundays :)

Blessings to you, friends!  

 You may remember if you visited me for this post

how much I adore Sundays. 

 Not just for the blessing of worship but the calmness the day brings. 

 With 4 kids, it's not often that we are still ... and that's okay :) 

 

On Sundays, I hope to post a card that I've made that reflects

the beauty of this day.

In our busy week, I often miss the solitude of our lush and

vibrant back yard that we have.

The quiet mornings in the backyard, sipping my coffee,

watching the birds come to the feeding house my son just built.

My dad's memory tree in full bloom - gorgeous, fiery red hibiscus

flowers are opening to the morning sun.

Even our two funny dogs chasing each other, playing tag

and barking excitedly when stops to sit beside me as if to

say "Come on, brother - there's playin' to do!"

 

This week, my card reflects the simpleness of the moment.

I created this CAS card - and can't believe how much I love it!

I've been trying my hand at CAS cards and
 just can't quite get the hang of it :)

here is my card ...

  and the inside of my card ...

 

 

 

That is ... until this fabulous Retro Sketches #103 caught my eye.

I was also inspired by the bold color combo at the Dynamic Duos Challenge.

And as luck would have it, Addicted to CAS is having a coffee challenge -

as a Starbucks aficionado, I jumped to play along!
I inked up my treasured TAWS Stamps and added a few dew drops,
to emulate 'coffee beans' (looked good in my head!) oh! And it's paper-pieced :)
I'll link this up to PIO - Thinking of you challenge.
 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you a joyous,

simple, very blessed Sunday!

 

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
