Sending a Latte Love! ♥

Happy Tuesday, friends!

I have a two cards that will be up today --

including my Riley and Company bi-weekly challenge card that will be up soon! We had a family Emergency late yesterday afternoon which included a long night in the ER. Hence, my card needs to be photographed,

edited and blogged ... stay tuned for that!

Meanwhile, I played along this weekend with the 2015 Fall Coffee blog hop

again - this time, stopping by the Verve blog and scooping up

the free digi set that Julie has for all of us ...

how generous is that!

Thank you so much!

I created this card with Autumn colors and has already zipped

off in the mail to a sweet, wonderful friend ♥

I'll add my card to the link up ~
make sure you stop by, the cards and inspiration are something to behold!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Give thanks to the Lord ...

I met God at the beach a few days ago :) As I was jogging around the small trail near the mangroves, ducking the branches and side-stepping root-lifted cracks, I stopped right in my tracks. This breath of faith just washed over me and I felt His presence so clearly, so purely.

I know it’s God’s answer to never ending questions I have. The ones I ask myself in wonder. And wait for His reply. I didn't finish that jog. I sat one the beach instead, watching the sun share it's warmth over the water, twinkly like nature's glitter.

And I knew - the answers will be here when they are meant to. Be patient, child. And I also knew that I am completely, humbly loved.

I am thankful.

When I saw today's Deconstructed Sketch, I fell in love with it and got to crafting right away. Lately, I'm drawn to the blue and yellow combination which is so lovely - I'm sure it's the contrasting hues, but I like it! I also inked up for the first time my quite lonely Verve stamp (LINY card!) It's a simple card, but it's calming and quiet and not my usual "busy" cards that I love to make with lots of layers and gobs of buttons!
