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!

CottageCutz - Sweet Flower Shop

Hi there!

I have another card to show you using my new CottageCutz Dies!  This time I'm using the adorable Flower Shop Die.


 



Isn't this cute?  I love this color combo with it!  I used white, pink, and a little bit of brown cardstock. I scored white cardstock for the shop base. I used pink, green, and brown inks to shade the edges of the pieces. I made the sidewalk using the awning piece with brown cardstock.  The "trees" in the background are just lace I placed upside down. The twine is a sample I recently got with an order from RRR which I love!

Here's a closeup of the shop...
