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!

Nuts and Bolts - Heartfelt Creations & Really Reasonable Ribbon


Happy Wednesday!

I'm back again with another card using the new All Geared Up Collection released last week by Heartfelt Creations.  This time I'm using the Nuts and Bolts Set.




I stamped the image with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and colored it with pencils and mineral spirits. (You can click on the photo for a closer view.) The 'frame' was made using one of the card fronts from the designer papers that I trimmed.

Today we are also doing a cross-promotional blog hop with Really Reasonable Ribbon - my favorite place to buy ribbon!!!  I used their gorgeous Copper Forest Silk Ribbon and Bow-Easy Tool to make this beautiful bow!  I love the way their silk ribbon drapes, so pretty and the 2 tones on the ribbon really make an eye-catching bow!

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog and the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #154 - Anything Goes
Addicted to Stamps & More #117 - Make Your Mark

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings!

Kathy
