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!

JustRite Rosey Birthday

Happy Monday!

Today I have a card I made for the latest JustRite Challenge #JRC092, to Make It Pop.  I have lots of "pop" on this one!

(Click on photo for a better view)

I used a new set I recently won, Spring Rose Medallion, for the images, and Violette Vintage Labels for the sentiment "Birthday Wishes".   I stamped the frame image, die cut it with the matching die, and fussy cut the inside to show the sentiment.  I also fussy cut the bird image and added a leftover piece of a die cut from a Memory Box Die.   The "Birthday Wishes" sentiment was also cut with the same labels die in the tiny size.  I added a white mat embossed with Bird & Swirls Folder using pop dots.

Card recipe:

Stamps: Spring Rose Medallion, Violette Vintage Labels (JustRite)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Pink Pirouette (SU)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)
Accessories: Nested Oval Medallion Labels (JustRite), Classic Ovals Large (Spellbinders), Birds & Swirls Embossing Folder (Cuttelbug), leftover die cut pieces, flower (Prima), Baby Pink Seam Binding (Really Reasonable Ribbon), adhesive pearls (Recollections), ribbon (Michaels)

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

JustRite Challenge #JRC092 - Make it pop
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #71 - Anything Goes
Craft Card Makers Challenge #87 - Friendship
No Matter Which Challenge #7 - Anything Goes
The Shabby Tea Room Challenge #158 - Anything Goes


Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings!

    Kathy this is beautiful. I almost used the same stamp set, but I doubt mine would have turned out as lovely as yours.
