The challenge this week at Our daily bread was to have a nature scene with scripture/spiritual quote. You can find all the details about the challenge HERE .

I used the stamp set The Mighty Sea from Our daily bread designs.

The image was colored with pencils.
Spellbinders- A2 Matting Basics A and A2 Curved Borders One dies
I stamped the Rubber Stampede- Geometric Swirl Background stamp onto the card base before adding the top piece, then stamped the spiritual quote on top of it.

Hope you have a chance to play along with the challenge, you have until Sunday evening.

The grass is growing out of control with all the rain we are getting, we may have to mow twice a week for awhile, still trying to get all the weeding done in all the flower beds, so I can do some planting soon.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend,
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your comments,

My Father in law is back in the hospital, he had a mini stroke and he is in congestive heart failure, it is so hard to live so far away when our parents are going through such hard times.  I went through that with both my parents and now my husband is going through it with his.

We  had rain most of the day yesterday and this morning still, but hopefully we will see the sun sometime today.

Hope the sun is shining wherever you are,
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and your sweet comments, they are much appreciated,

Update on my Father in law.... He had a massive heart attack, he had a quadruple heart attack 15 years ago and one of those is now blocked.  He has recovered and is at home but he has a long road ahead so your continued prayers are much appreciated. 

We have made it back home last night.  I had this card all done but it needed to be put together, going to be a little late since her birthday is tomorrow and is out of state.

We had flooding while we were gone, we came home to cones in our front of our house and two other homes next to us, there was debris all the way up to our garage door, but it looks like it stopped before going into our garage thank goodness.

Had a scary moment this morning when reading the news about Boston since my daughter works in Cambridge and lives in one of the cities that they were saying was under lock down. Thank goodness I went to my phone and my daughter had allready written a text saying that she was safe at home.  Praying that this will all be over very soon and that Boston can go back to normal.

Thank so much for your kind comments and prayers for my Father in law,
Connie
