Be Joyful

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

These are verses I memorized years ago and they are written on my heart. There are times when I still need to remember not to be anxious, but I eventually listen to my heart saying these verses. I didn't really understand what the "peace of God" was until I experienced it. It's having peace inside you, even when you're going through heartbreaking situations and trials. It does "surpass ALL understanding" and you know it comes from GOD alone. Praise the Lord for His wonderful promises!


I love, love, love what I do. I am passionate about the things I create and the talents God has placed in me. I SO appreciate the time you take to look at my things and the comments you all leave me!

Blessings to you!

Heartfelt Creations Black Friday - Timeless Amour Collection

Happy Friday everyone!


Heartfelt Creations is pleased to introduce the Timeless Amour Collection. Grab your cup of cocoa and snuggle up. This set is as warm and romantic as the days when the snow flies and the fireplaces pops. Typography of love, roses of delight, and patterns of mesmerizing drama are all included in the Timeless Amour Collection. There are 5 new PreCut Stamp Sets, one 12x12 Paper Collection, and one beautiful new exclusive Spellbinders die designed for Heartfelt Creations. Leave a comment on the HC blog by November 27th and you will be eligible to win the entire release valued at $134.93 .

I have two cards to show you using the gorgeous new collection this week.  The first is "Door to My Heart":



On this card I used the heart door and sentiment from the Passage to My Heart Set.  The background image is one of the journal blocks from the designer paper...so gorgeous!  (You can click on the photo for a better view and the complete instructions are at the bottom of the post.)


The second card is called "To a Beautiful You":



This card has a combination of four different sets from the collection, Timeless Rosette (the fussy cut flowers), Passage to My Heart (the heart image), Timeless Lace (the background), and Timeless Sentiments Sets.
