Valley of Vision

Thou God of all GRACE,
Thou hast given me a saviour,
produce in me a faith to live by him,
to make him all my desire,
all my hope,
all my glory.
May I enter him as my refuge,
build on him as my foundation,
walk in him as my way,
follow him as my guide,
conform to him as my example,
receive his instructions as my prophet,
rely on his intercession as my high priest,
obey him as my king.
May I never be ashamed of him or his words,
but joyfully bear his reproach,
never displease him by unholy or imprudent conduct,
never count it a glory if I take it patiently
when buffeted for a fault,
never make the multitude my model,
never delay when they Word invites me to advance.
May thy dear Son preserve me from this present evil world,
so that its smiles never allure,
nor its frowns terrify,
nor its vices defile,
nor its errors delude me.
May I feel that I am a stranger and a pilgrim on earth,
declaring plainly that I seek a country,
my title to it becoming daily more clear,
my meetness for it more perfect,
my foretastes of it more abundant;
and whatsoever I do may it be done in the Saviour's name.

Scrap-Tastic Goodies

So I know I've been MIA. Such is life right now. lol, I've got a TON of goodies from the Fabulous (if I do say so myself) Frosted Elegance kit from Scrap-Tastic....which I designed! lol. (three out of the four of these are done with Sally's sketches from Splitcoast Stampers, the other one is from pencillines.)

Scrap-Tastic Stuff

I got the January Project kit over at Scrap-Tastic this month too...and not just the main kit (which is totally yummy and I got to design!) Anyway....here's some stuff I did with the Cupcake Cutie Card Kit.


(This one and the one below both use some of the new Pink Paislee Sweetie Pie Postcards...aren't they so cute?!?!)



(there is stamping on the inside of the card that shows through the window a bit, but it didn't photograph well.)
I just LOVE this Painted Lady pp by Kaiser. I just fussy cut around the wings a bit and then bent them up for some dimension, inked the edges and added my sentiment and was done!

Soo...

I'm not usually this bad about updating...but with the morning sickness kicking in, along with the early pregnancy tiredness, two littles, Christmas, and DT work....I've been struggling to get the bare minimum done lately! lol. Sorry about that. Anyway, I think things are looking up sickness wise...we had Christmas with my family today and it was wonderful! I can't wait to weed through my photos tomorrow and see if I got any gold! (I'm soo bad about getting good shots at Christmas!)

Anyway, I've got a TON of stuff to share...so be looking for that in the next few days too. Thanks for sticking around even when I wasn't! lol
