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!

Mine is more of a winter white/cream color.  I was going for a sepia look for the flower even though it was for Christmas.  I only used one pencil color, Espresso to do this.  I'm not sure how well this one came out, but it's ok I guess.

Stamps: Christmas Rose (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Natural White (Neenah)
Ink: Vintage Sepia (VersaFine)
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils - Espresso, Labels 23 Dies (Spellbinders), Modern Labels Punch (Stampin' Up!), Snowflakes Embossing Folder (Sizzix), hemp (Darice), button, floss (Michaels)

      Kathy, this is stunning. I love that Christmas rose, and how you framed it with that die. I also love the EF you used. The addition of the brown pearls and twine finishes off the card nicely.

      Hugs,
