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!

Sunflower Bouquet - Heartfelt Creations


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have another card using the Classic Sunflower Collection!




This collection is just gorgeous, I love working with it for sure!  Beautiful images for coloring and the colors on the designer papers are so pretty!

I colored the images with pencils and mineral spirits, fussy cut the sunflower bouquet and butterfly and die cut the sunflowers with the matching die.  Here's a little close up of the image for you.




Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designer this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #150 - Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by today!

Blessings!
