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 - Springtime Bluebell Flowers

Happy Saturday!  Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!  Today I have a card using CottageCutz's Springtime Bluebell Flowers and Butterfly Mini Dies.



These flowers are so pretty and delicate!  I cut them out with Solar White Cardstock and colored them with chalk inks and makeup applicators.  Very easy to do and looks pretty against the white embossed background.  The butterfly was done the same way.  I love this little die!

Here's a closeup of the flowers and butterfly.




These are the dies I used:
