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!

Key to My Heart


Happy Wednesday everyone!

Can you believe Christmas is only a week away?  Yikes, I'm so not ready for it!  Hopefully you're more prepared than I am!



Well, it's Wednesday, and that means it's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  Today I have a card I made using three of the Floral Key Collection stamp sets: Keys and Roses, Journey of Love Keys, and Burnished Key Sets. 



I wanted to place these images together and have the Timeless Rectangles Die framing it for something simple and elegant.  I stamped the images on white cardstock and colored them in pencils using pinks, browns, and a little green.  I love this flowered key image, it's one of my favorites from the collection.  I added the extra heart lock and keys "popped" on top of the original images.

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #111 - Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings!

Kathy
