CAS-ual Fridays CFC59 ~ Round and Round

Sunday salutations!

I hope everyone is having/had a great weekend!  Sunday is getting long in the tooth.

I had time to make a quick card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge (59) which is to use 2 circles in your Clean and Simple design.

I hope you will get a chance to join in the challenge!  So many circles reside in your stamp drawers.  Twirl round and round in your craft room a couple times and take a peek, you'll see!

Here is the stamp with two circles that I choose to spotlight:


My sunflower couple used a leettle bit too much Coppertone in the makeup room at the Playhouse.  That's okay, it just makes them look really summery!

The neighbors behind us have volunteer sunflowers growing along the fence.  I climbed up and stood on the garden wall and held the camera over my head so I could show you my inspiration.  Knowing I'm no tinkle toes, that was not the smartest thing I've ever done, but Oh! Snap! I got it done without injury. 


In other news relative to the Blogger Blues, I want to thank Pauline, who linked me to Carole, who linked me to information about how Mr. Blogger and Mr. Picasa went out drinking one night and decided the screwiest way they could to download your photos so that (hic) when you uploaded them, downloaded copies were made, uploads were then down(hic)uploaded onto loading dock albums you didn't (hic) even know you had, bits turned into gigs, and they both got so loaded they needed to call a taxi.  I hope four taxis came and they got charged for what they thought was going to be a free ride!

Mister and I made up, sat down, and had a few cold ones to forgot all about it.  Here he is with the shirt to prove it:


That sentiment just karacks me up!! 

In all the excitement, two new crafters joined our party!  Please welcome S'andra V. of Oh MY SCRAPS! and my new BFF, Pauline P. of Craft Obsession!  Thank you, lassies!

Enjoy!   As always, thank you for stopping by to visit.   Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!

LOL that t-shirt is fantastic :), made me chuckle. Lovely card, I adore sunflowers, I'm growing some myself but the british summertime has been a complete washout so far this year and they're not doing to well :(. Gorgeous cheery card though.
