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!

Morning Glory Doily

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today I have a new card for you using CottageCutz' Morning Glory and Oval Doily & Frame Dies. 





I love using lots of white with a pop of color to show how beautiful these dies are!  The pieces were cut with white card stock and the flowers and leaves were colored with chalk inks to match this pretty lavender ribbon.  I then shaped them and added some White Opal Liquid Pearls to the flower centers.  I added the leaves and flower to the center doily with pop dots and added the outside piece of the doily to the card with pop dots.   Here's a closeup of the flowers!




The card base is made with Orchid Opulence Cardstock with a white mat embossed with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  The ribbon is Lavender Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I didn't add a sentiment to this, but it could be used for all kinds of occasions! 

Here are the dies I used:









Card recipe:

CottageCutz Dies: Morning Glory, Oval Doily & Frame Dies

    Hi there, sweet Kathy!
    Somehow, you make your cards look so effortless. They have this simple elegance to them, and every card you make just AMAZES me, but yet...each one has such an ease to it. I guess I can't adequately explain what I mean, but your cards are just AMAZING, yet somehow just so simply wonderful. I always enjoy my visits to your blog, and I always take advantage of the opportunity to pray for you (which I did). Thanks SO MUCH for sharing, and may God richly bless your week.
    Blessings & Hugs,
    Karen
