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 - Inspiration Timeless Amour Collection

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some Heartfelt Creations' inspiration using.  This week, both my projects are made with the new Timeless Amour Collection.  The first is a card:





 I love this color combination and I just love to color!  So many pretty little roses and vines on this image and I love the look with the leaves and flowers around it.

The second project I have is an altered mini composition notebook packaged up as a gift.  Here is the book by itself:



The book with the packaging pieces:



Here is the book all packaged up and ready to give as a gift:



Here is a close up of the tag I made with the little heart die...I think this is so cute!



I hope this give you a little inspiration on using these beautiful HC Products!  Also, a cute little gift idea for someone special!  Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations from the designers this week!
