CPS and Little Bitty Birds

Hi there dear friends!!! I hope you are some place warm with those you love tonight!!! It is cold and snowy once again here in Montana. Typical weather for January and I love to hunker in, put on my jammies, a new scent in my Scentsy Burner, and craft the night away!!!! Tonight I thought it would be fun to get back to the challenges I love so much. Card Positioning Systems has a great sketch for this week and I have some Little Bitty Birds Calling my name!!!!

Oh how I love these sweet Little Bitty Birds!!!! I know I will be using this set all the time!! It's really quite funny, I had such a hard time transitioning out of the Christmas mode, but the romantic feel of Valentine's Day did get my creative juices flowing!!! However, you will be seeing some Christmas cards on my blog each month as I have joined a challenge over at PTI to set goals for Christmas 2011...we'll see how I do!!!

Well, it's time for bed!!! I want to thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!!! I appreciate you all so very much!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!

It's Wednesday!!

Good Morning everyone!! I am so happy that this week is going by rather quickly! I was so tired on Monday after having a week and a half off from work, but I think I am back in the swing of things. I have been busy taking inventory, working on my Little Red Scrapbook kit, and in all honesty just creating for fun! I feel I have been way too busy and my work has suffered for it. I intend on making 2010 a year of getting back to the heart of things-my family, my faith, and my craft. I can't allow Busy-ness to rule my life. I have so many dreams and desires and they won't be fulfilled if I am too busy to step out and try them. My devotions today from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers really convicted me.

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have.

I want to glorify Him in everything I do...not just get a lot done. I have to change my focus and

my motivation and I think the rest will come. I hope today finds you at rest wherever you are and that busyness isn't in charge of your day!

Since I am determined to create for fun I thought that getting back to those challenges I love would be a good start. So I stopped by the CPS Blog and decided to create a little Valentine card. I used Papertrey Stamps and a cute little vintage image for this card, so this card works for the Papertrey Scraptastic challenge too! Here is the sketch:

and here is my take on the challenge:

Thanks for stopping by!!

I hope today finds you resting in the peace of the Lord!!
