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 - One Sheet Wonder Cards & Box

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I have a fun gift idea using Heartfelt Creations designer papers, stamps and dies!  A while back I created a "one sheet wonder" for a 6" x 6" piece of pattern paper.  I loved how it came out, so I decided to do one with HC's beautiful papers!  Here are the 6 cards I made.

I love how these all coordinate together, it makes such a pretty gift!  I also made a gift box to go with these using HC's stamps.




If you're not familiar with "one sheet wonders", basically you use a piece of designer paper (or make your own), cut it into pieces using a pattern and make cards with the pieces.  I made the pattern for these and posted it in February on this post here  if you would like to read more about it or try making one yourself for a gift!

For lots more inspiration, please visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see what all the talented designers have created for you this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Allsorts Challenge Week 209 - Here Comes the Girls
Word Art Wednesday #83 - Anything Goes
No Matter Which Challenge #10 - Bingo - Ribbons/Flowers/Bows
Paper Playtime #11 - Two or More Ribbons
Tuesday Throwdown #150 - Embossing

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope I leave you a little inspired!

Blessings!

Kathy
