My card for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. I found out today that due to changes in my department I will need to work extra hours each week until well into October with overtime expected and my upcoming vacation time cancelled. Started today with a 12 hour day, an increase from the 8 hours I was expecting to work. So my mojo got lost somewhere along the way. Still, it is my goal to participate in every Teapot Tuesday challenge this year. Hence a card, albeit a very simple offering. Enjoy!

It doesn't look "simple" at all -- it looks wonderfully CAS. Love the design of the sun and radii. I agree with Pat that it looks like mexican tile. Beautiful card.
So sorry about the long hours and sorrier for a cancelled vacation. Neither of those are great; but, it is great that you will continue to try to participate in Teapot Tuesdays. As Polly said, that's what makes this challenge so great. Good luck at work and try to get some rest in the down times. Hugs.

Oh, so sorry your working hours have been increased .... I hope your sunny card brought you some cheer just as I know it will be greatly enjoyed by Brenda.

Vicky, I think that your card will be special to Brenda because you put a lot of love into it... you could have kicked off your shoes and taken it easy after a 12-hour workday, but you spent time making this beautiful card to cheer her up. I've made the same commitment as you, but I confess to skipping some Tuesdays because I just don't have the energy...you leave me in awe!
With that said, your sun image is colored beautifully - love the contrasting colors, it makes the bright colors of the sun pop even more!

A simple card is still appreciated. And this stamp is really cool! I've been struggling to keep my mojo with my workload and the kids back to school/football schedules, so I feel you. I'm so glad that you're still planning on sticking with the Tea Parties. It's important that we make time for us and if that time also spreads much needed cheer--even better!
