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!

Especially For You Pocket Tag - Heartfelt Creations


Happy Thursday!

I'm back again as promised with another project for Heartfelt Creations!  This time I have a pocket tag with a more feminine design on in!




Here's a picture of the tag outside the pocket tag.




I created the tag with the pocket by using the Luggage & Tags Die and a folded piece of the designer paper.  The map image on the blue designer paper is the same image I used yesterday for the masculine tag.  I love this map image for a background and that it works for both feminine and masculine projects.

The small tag is one of the stamp images die cut with one of the smaller tag dies.  There are lots of tag designs you can make with this collection!

The coloring on the flowers and leaves was done using chalk inks and make up applicators.  I like how it came out with the heat embossed images using the Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel.  I love coloring with pencils and mineral spirits, but I really liked how quick and easy this was for a change of look.

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #129 - Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings!

  3. A Dr friend is spending the month of June in Greece with a childhood friend to relax, paint, sleep and pray. I was trying to think of something sweet to make for her to give her friend. I think this would be perfect. It is just so beautiful. I honestly am always surprised at your talents every time I pop over to your blog. Thank you for joining us this week at Word Art Wednesday.
    Abundant Blessings, Carole
