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!

Come away with us and discover the whimsical world of Wildwood Cottage, the newest collection by Heartfelt Creations.  Unleash your imagination and explore magical gardens filled with light and airy florals, chirping birds, fluttering butterflies and of course the playful and enchanting sprites that call these gardens home.  Create your very own captivating fairy garden with this extraordinary collection featuring four beautifully illustrated cling stamp sets and coordinating dies!  Fill your fanciful garden scenes with playful fairies, dimensional garden accents, cheery florals and of course enchanting cottages for the spirited sprites to call home.  The softly hued paper collection is sprinkled with pretty garden shades resembling moss like greens, lilac lavenders, pansy purples and hydrangea blues accented with daisy like yellows, whites and petunia pinks!  Delicate chevrons, ornate floral swirls, along with dainty polka dots and eyelet lace like designs are just a few of the graceful finishes showcased among this decorative paper collection and have been incorporated into heartwarming full page cottage and garden scenes ideal for scrapbook layouts, as well as various sized premade card front panels ideal for quick and easy card bases!  The perfect collection to add a touch of sunshine, and bring smiles to the faces of friends and loved ones during those long winter days!


This is such an adorable collection for little girls! Just love the little house with all the elements to create the perfect cottage scene! For my creation this week, I decided to make a wall hanging with a cute fairy cottage scene.



The base of the wall hanging is a page from a chipboard album I bought at Michaels that I covered with  the Wildwood Cottage Paper Collection. The cottage is cut from white with the Wildwood Cottage Die and embossed with Ditsy Dots Embossing Folder The roof is cut with gray cardstock using the same die set. All the other elements are stamped with black ink, colored with pencils and mineral spirits and die cut with the matching dies. Everything here has a matching die which makes putting these little scene together so much easier!

Here is a little close-up of the fairies.





To add some sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on the fairy's wings and then dusted with Shell White Glitter. I also used Clear Wink of Stella on the flower petals.

CottageCutz Garden Hello



Happy Thursday everyone!

It's time for me to share a CottageCutz creation with you!  Today I have a wall hanging I call "Garden Hello".

Click on photo for a better view!


I used lots of beatiful CottageCutz Dies and Secret Garden Designer Papers from Graphic 45 to make this. The base is a page from a 8" x 8" scalloped chipboard album I got at Michaels. I covered it with an off-white designer paper (dp) that has crack lines on it and added a piece of peach dp to look like the side of a house. The outside border is a piece of the designer paper that I trimmed out the center of leaving just the border. Under the top of the border, I placed a piece of striped dp that was punched with a scalloped border on it. Under the bottom of the border, I added a picket fence using the Picket Fence Border Die and peach dp. I inked the edges a little and placed green dp under it.

All these pieces were glued together and added to the chipboard with Mod Podge. After letting it dry well, I trimmed the out side edge of the paper to match the scallop on the chipboard. (Note: Next time I do, this I will trace the chipboard shape on the back of the dp with pencil and trim it before adhering to the chipboard!)

The Garden Bird Branch was cut with the green dp and the 2 birds in it were cut with the peach and glued in place.

For the branch along the fence, I used the Bluebird Die with green dp, shaped it and tucked it in in the fence a little. The flowers on the 2 branches are from the Blossom Branch Die that I cut using peach dp and Solar White. I shaped these with my tool kit and mat and inked them.

For the window, I used the Springtime Window Die and cut it with green dp. The image in the window is a piece from the dp that I trimed to fit. I added the birdcage in peach dp and 2 birds all from the Birdcage & Stand Die. On the bottom of the window I added a piece of lace and mini pompom trim (a sample from Really Reasonable Ribbon) with Scor-tape.

Here's a little close up for you.

The little flower pots are from the Springtime Window Die that I cut with the green and peach dp and some Solar White and terra cotta color papers I had in my scraps folder.

For finishing touches, I added liquid pearls to flower centers, added twine bows and adhesive pearls.  The chipboard tag, from Secret Garden, was added to the bottom with a tiny piece of the Moss Ribbon.  Moss Ribbon was added to the back to use as a hanger and them covered with paper to finish.

Here are the dies I used on my project.










 
 
 
Project recipe:
 
Paper: Secret Garden (Graphic 45), Vintage Rose (Colorbok), Old Olive, Solar White (Neenah), terra cotta (DCWV)

CottageCutz Vintage Wall Art

Happy Friday everyone!

I have a little labor of love to show you today using CottageCutz Dies...a lot of them!  I love their new Vintage Release and decided to make a piece of wall art using them to create a scene of rooms in a house.

 
 

I used various dies and cut them all out of Natural White paper and Sunshine Designer Paper from My Mind's Eye.  I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to ink all the edges.  Here's some close-ups of the 3 sections...

Heartfelt Creations - Blue Rose Wall Hanging

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have a wall hanging made with lots of blue roses.




Here's another picture that shows the silk bow for hanging.  (Note: click on the picture for a closer view and complete instructions are at the end of the post.)




The main image of the 3 roses is done using a Limited Edition stamp, Classic Rose, that will only be available at Heartfelt Creations until 12/31st.  The sentiment, flowers, and leaf embellishments are are still available.  I did lots of coloring on this, which is my favorite thing to do!  I orignally had the main image in a black frame and didn't like the way it came out.  I'm much happier now with it as a wall hanging and adding embellishments to it.

I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #59 - uplifting sentiments.  Also, to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #62 - Anything Goes & Ribbon.

Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

Time for a new creation using HC's beautiful stamps and dies!








This week I made a wall hanging for my project.  I think this would make a nice gift for someone, actually I want to make one for myself...something I never seem to do!  I saw these chipboard signs at Target in the $1 bin and knew they would be great for altering.  I just covered them with paper, embellished it, and added ribbon to hang it.

Here's the way it looks with the ribbon. Sorry, the picture isn't the best...


Please visit the HC Blog to see all the other gorgeous creations from the Design Team!  What a talented group of ladies!

Wednesday Inspiration - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I get to share with you my favorite set from the May release!  It's called "China Fragments", and it has the most gorgeous tea cups with flowers on them!  I LOVE this set!!!  The tea cups come in 3 sizes and match the Spellbinders' Nested Tea Cup Dies.  I've also used the Tattered Blossoms and Tattered Blossoms Swirls Sets for these.  Here is my card using the large tea cup:




Here is a wall hanging I made using the medium and small tea cup:



The tea pot is from a chipboard album I bought at Michaels last year on clearance...I knew I'd use it for something!  This isn't what I planned to use it for when I bought it, but I love how it came out and it's perfect for the tea cup set and dies!

Here's a close up of the flower using the Tattered Blossoms Set:



And, a close up of the tea pot:



I colored these with Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits.  The tea pot is done with white paper that I stamped with various inks using the background stamp from the Broken Cinder Blocks Set and sponged a little.

Here are the complete ingredients and instructions for these which you can also see on the Heartfelt Creations Blog.
