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!

Framed Fall Season - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for more inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I used the Fall Season image to make a framed piece that would make a pretty home decor gift!




I used a simple wood frame, painted it and added some of the red designer paper.   I decorated the frame with various Fall images from the Classic Editions Release of last year which go perfect with this image.  The puppy inside the frame is popped on the image with pop dots.

Here's a closeup of the image inside the frame.






Some closeups of the elements decorating the wood frame.





Here's a little side view...




Most of the elements on the frame are pieces I made last year that never made the "cut" on a project.  I save everything I make in page protectors by release so that I can use them on fun projects like this!

I hope I leave you a little inspired!  Please visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to all the beautiful projects by the designers this week!  I am amazed at the talent these ladies have, you will be too!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #85 - Anything Goes

Blessings!

Kathy
