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!

Summer Song Thank You - Heartfelt Creations


Happy Wednesday!

It's that time once again for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have a card for you using some pretty blue designer papers and stamps from the Cut Mat Create Collection.




The main image is from the Summer Song PreCut Set which I colored with pencils and mineral spirits.  The butterfly is from the Birds and Blooms PreCut Set which I also colored with pencils and fussy cut it to add to the image.  The “Thank you” sentiment is from the Summer Glory PreCut Set.

For the background mat, I used one of the 6" x 6" blocks and trimmed it to fit on the card.  I've always loved the color blue, and this is one of my favorite pieces from the designer papers.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see the gorgeous creations this week by the designers!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #141 - Anything Goes
Really Reasonable Ribbon #99 - Things With Wings & Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!

Kathy
