Uh, yah, this week I am praying for ME!! Started a new job this week, and YOUZA, it ain't easy to learn all new software and all new systems!! I spent the first four days in a state of FOG.....but by Friday last week it lifted, and I turned a corner, only, it's still not EASY!! Oh the familiarity of what we know and love, the "comfort zone" we usually LIVE in. I hated moving out of that zone, but sometimes God says your time here is up, and I want you to move on to here....and he shakes us up and moves us on, and we have to CLING to HIM to make it thru the day!! I am ready for the challenge!!! But let me tell ya, I am praying for ME!!! Happy Tuesday everyone!! (I have been so wrapped up I almost forgot to post my card!!)

Beautiful card, Karen. The brown sugar is so pretty and that little ruffle behind the burlap ribbon create a nice contrast.
Hugs to you and prayers also as you go through your changes.

Karen, this is gorgeous!
Love the image, the texture and all the details.
Hope your new job goes well and you catch on and learn to love it quickly! Sometimes it's best to have to rely on God rather than think we can do it on our own!

This is the day the Lord has made, let us REJOICE and be GLAD in it!

very pretty... love the ruffled trim with the burlap ribbon and the embossed bg... also love the two stepping (not the dance lol) but the stamping of the flowers...thought that little bit of fun would take your mind off your new computer system for a while. wow, we sure do get caught up in our comfort zone dont we? love your very pretty card... well done...

Love the placement of the purple flowers under the orange ones, Karen! I hope things get easier for you real soon, and that you find a new joy through the learning process! Trials.....we all go through them
