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

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!!!

I have 2 cards today to show you.  The first is a fairly CAS card using the Mailbox Surprise and Add-on Sentiments Sets.



Mailbox Surprise
 
 
This is a cute set that you can use with all kinds of sentiments.  I colored this with pencils and colored a second birdhouse and popped it on top of the main image.

I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #66.


The second card, Timeless Love,  is very simple.  I didn't even do any coloring!  This is using the Timeless Amour Background Stamp and Mini and Bold Vintage Floret Sets.


Timeless Amour
 
 
This card is actually very pretty, but doesn't show up in the photo very well at all...sorry!  I hate when that happens!  The flower is actually a pretty pink and lighter than it shows here.

Please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the gorgeous creations this week from the designers.

I'm submitting this to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #65 - Monochromatic Color & Ribbon Challenge.

Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings!

Kathy
