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!

Here is my take on the challenge this week...  

 


This sweet image is from the new Little Girls Set released this month.  I love the vintage silhouette image on this and the beautiful font of the sentiments! Here is a picture of the set where you can see all the other sentiments that it has with it:





This is a very simple card.  I just stamped the image with Victorian Velvet Ink, then the two sentiments over it with black ink.  Then I just diecut it with Decorative Labels One Die, inked the edges a little, and popped it up on the card.  The card is 4 1/4" square that I added an embossed mat, lace, ribbon, pearls, and a button to.

Card recipe:

Stamp: Little Girls (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, Onyx Black (VersaMark)
Paper: Natural White (Neenah), Blushing Bride
Accessories: Rose Petal Seam Binding (Really Reasonable Ribbon), lace (Jo-Ann's), adhesive pearls, Paper Lace II Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug, Labels One, Decorative Labels One Dies (Spellbinders), sponge, button

I'm submitting this to the following:

Word Art Wednesday Challengne #63 - Anything Goes.
Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #64 - Valentine's Day/Love & Ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed this sweet little card!

Blessings!

    The silhouetted looks so pretty in pink, and makes this such a sweet girlie card. And the combination of that amazing lace and the seam binding with the decorative frame is just so perfect.
