A Cup of Coffee?

Ummmmmm, does anyone read this blog anymore? You all have been soooooo quiet lately. I don't just want to be writing and talking to myself here, so if you're still out there, say hi once in a while!!!!
The other day, I was in the mood to use up some of my scraps. My drawer, literally, is overflowing. I should take a picture of it to prove it to you. So, I either have to start using my scraps for cards, or, {{gasp}}, I'm gonna have to throw some out. I can't even begin to think about that option. So, scrap cards it is.

I found lots of yummy scraps to work with....lime green, orange and hot pink....fabulous. It's a touch of summer all over again.

The coffee cup image is from the fabulous Impression Obsession clear stamp set called, appropriately, Smell The Coffee. You can find it at Stamper's Dream. I don't even like coffee but I love this set!

This is a card anyone can make. In one fell swoop, you can use three pieces of that scrap paper stash that's threatening to eat you alive. I know I'm not the only one with this problem, LOL! Maybe if we can commit to making one scrap card everyday, this little "problem" might correct itself.......lol.

Well, I'm not going to go into deep detail about my card because, well, lets face it. It's straightforward and totally uncomplicated. The most difficult thing about it is the paper-pieced coffee cup! If you DO find yourself with questions about the card though, be sure and drop me a comment. In fact, drop me a comment even if you don't have a question!

In case you haven't visited Stamper's Dream lately, stop in today and see all the fun new "stuff" Michelle's gotten in over the past month. She's gotten TONS of new JustRite products...the new Classic Oval Stampers, and the new Classic Oval Ensemble, which includes a whole bunch of oval borders and centers! And just this week, she got in some new Impression Obsession stamps and My Favorite Things stamps! Just in time for the holidays.....

Well, it's BSF morning today. I need to get myself ready to go. It has been very stressful here lately. Quite honestly, I feel like my life is spinning out of control. What can go wrong, has. I don't even know what to pray for anymore because the list is soooo long. And it's not long with superficial stuff either. It's clear, God is putting me right where he wants me, at his feet. Every day he is proving to me that I cannot do this alone. That I am powerless to control those things spinning out of control in front of me. He has placed me in the desert, of that I have no doubt. The only thing I have to grasp onto at this point is this promise...."I have plans for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). I am reminding myself of this hundreds of times a day.

Hugs,
Amy
