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!

Kathy

Thank You So Much - Heartfelt Creations


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have a thank you card for you!




I just love these new stamps and dies!  What beautiful flowers and flourishes you can make with this collection!  I love the delicate lace dies from the Arianna Lace Die, so beautiful!

If you click on the photo, you can get a better view.  Here's a close up of the side for you too so you can see the different layers!




The flowers were stamped on white card stock with Pixie Pink Ink and heat embossed with Detail Clear Embossing Powder.  It's hard to see in the photo, but they were also sprayed with Sparkle Shimmer Spritz which looks really pretty with the Diamond Stickles and Tu-Tu Pink Prills in the centers.  I love this pink and light green color combination, so soft and feminine!

Make sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #138 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by to visit!
