Atlantic hearts Sketch challenge 78

Hello Crafters, how is everyone doing this weekend?  I am one tired girl....been doing a LOT of painting...I know, you all are wishing it could be you.lol.  We just finished our renovations to our bedroom to make more room for my husband and his medical equipment and I ended up with a little more space for my crafting!! woohoo.  So have not been doing much blogging or crafting,  but watch out now.
 Will this week it is my turn to do a card for the AHSC 78..and below is my vesion of the sketch above.  I use the Yuletind Christmas paper from Close to My Heart for the bird image, and the other papers are from the  retired Ariana paper pack.  The stamp Oodles of Doodles and ink Ruby were also used.  The pretty blue lacey trim was in my stash and I thought it went well with the blue in the papers.
