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!

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.
