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 - Celebrate


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  This week I have another card using the Once Upon a Time Collection released last week.  This time I used the Alarm and Watch, Time Sentiments, and Timeless Clock Sets.





I love this little alarm clock, I have one just like it on my craft desk only it doesn't look this nice...it's orange with "Cars" movie pictures on it!  I definitely need to alter it!  Here's a little close up for you!



The background mat is designer paper from the collection.  The images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits to match the colors in the collection.  The alarm clock was fussy cut and the other pieces (including the clock face) were cut with the matching die.  You can see complete instructions at the end of my post.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week and see who the lucky comment winner is for the new release!

I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #124 - Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!

Kathy
