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!

Woodsy Wonderland Side Step Card


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the new release from Heartfelt Creations, the Woodsy Wonderland Collection! Love this collection, it's perfect for guy cards! Here is a little write up about it.

Heartfelt Creations invites you to lose yourself in an enchanting woodsy wonderland filled with magnificent wildlife, beautiful scenic expanses and delicate field flowers. A stunning paper collection showcasing a beautiful outdoor themed color palette of rushing river blues, orange and yellow sunset hues, grass like greens accented with the softest wildflower whites, deep purples, and posy pinks, pulled together and grounded with dark tree bark browns, sky blues and moss like greens.


For my first card with this collection I decided to create a forest scene using a side step card for the base. These scenes are so much fun to create!




The back fold has the 3-trees, the second has 2 of the foxes facing each other and the rest is all on the front of the base. All the images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and cut with their matching dies. I like the way everything look on the black base, really makes it all pop!

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the awesome projects by the designers this week!  Emma Lou also has a new video on the blog showing you how to create a nature scene using a foldout card!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday #260-261 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
