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!

Pink Sugar Hollow Bungalow


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the new Sugar Hollow Release from Heartfelt Creations!

Heartfelt Creations invites you to enter the sweet and magical world of Sugar Hollow! Make the acquaintances of an adorable family of wide eyed and lovable owls who inhabit the beautiful and enchanting forest like surroundings. Each of these darling and delightful feathered friends comes with their own special personality and they are sure to find a soft spot in your heart! The sugary sweet color palette in this collection lends itself to adding a bounce to your step and and a happiness to your heart as you create with cotton candy like pinks, ribbon candy stripes, peppermint greens as well as several shades of confectionary grape lollipop like hues. A whimsical assortment of beautifully illustrated stamps showcase images of ornamental bird houses, lovely trees and a wide selection of owl images which can be used to design for a wide variety of occasions. The fun and witty sentiments included add a playful charm making this a collection that will appeal to crafters of all ages. Whether you wish to remind a friend or loved one how special they are and that you think they are "a hoot", or send an any occasion card just because "It's Owl Good", this sweet and light hearted collection is sure to brighten someones day and bring a smile to their face!

For my card this week I used the Sugar Hollow Bungalow Set and matching die for the cute owl and birdcage.



These are colored with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps. The background mat is one of the card panels from the Sugar Hollow Paper Collection. These panels make it easy to put cards together!

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beauties by the designers this week. Also, Emma Lou has a video showing you some fun techniques on the card she created with this collection.

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday # 217 - Anything Goes

Really Reasonable Ribbon #132 - Look What I Got with Ribbon or Trim

Thanks so much for stopping by!
