Use Whatever Talent You Possess

Good morning!!! Oh, how it feels good to be up and blogging again.  I know it was only a few days, but I really felt it...especially because I was not on a holiday, I was at home looking at the empty corner where the computer was...I know, hard life!!!  Today's card is for the current Embellish Colour Challenge.  I love the rich colours this time round and the challenge requirement of birds ~ any reason to bring out the SU two step bird punch :D  I have made other cards with this sketch and use it again today because I love it...the tag, the twine, the staples...love it :)  I'm also using a sentiment that I love to use with bird images.  I typed it out in Word and printed it onto cardstock.  I just love what it means.  It encourages us to do what we love, no matter if we are the best, or "hot," or in the "spotlight."  I stamp for the joy it brings me and have been trying not to put the focus on prizes or praises...although, both are nice {wink}, but not the main motivation for my cardmaking.  This card makes me smile and I hope has brought a smile to your face this lovely August morning :)  Thanks for sharing a few moments with me :)
