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!

Birthday Petunias


Happy Wednesday!

It's the second Wednesday of the month which means it's time for the release of the new Heartfelt Creations collection! This month we have the Classic Petunia Collection!

For my card I used the Classic Petunia Paper Collection for the card panel and added petunias and leaves from the Small Classic Petunia Set and a hanging plant from the Classic Petunia Bouquet Set.





I color the images with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps. They were added to the card panel using a combination of glue and Scotch Mounting Tape to give varying height.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week! What a talented bunch they are for sure!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday #282-283 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
