Joyfully Made Designs: Heartfelt Creations

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 - Spring Season Birdhouse

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I have a card using Heartfelt Creations' Spring Season Set.

I used the beautiful papers from the Daphne Paper Collection for this. The images were all stamped on off-white paper from the collection, and the birdhouse and bird were colored with pencils and mineral spirits. The mat behind the image is made from 2 of the papers from the collection, I LOVE the flower print on the one on the left! I used this paper as an inspiration for coloring the birdhouse image.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the design team this week!

Blessings!
