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!

Owl Always Love You


He everyone!

Just wanted to show you a card I made for my Husband for our 21st Anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Pretty clean and simple, but I thought it came out cute!




I used the Sugar Hollow Cling Set for the owls and sentiment and then die cut a second owl image using the matching Sugar Hollow Tree Die. The images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps. The background is embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder from Stampin Up. Complete instructions are below if you would like them!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday #244-245 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings!

    This is adorable, and somehow super elegant at the same time. The neutral colors are subdued and perfect for the feel of this card. Amazing job, Kathy. Thanks so much for sharing your art with us at Word Art Wednesday, and I wish you the best of luck in the random draw. Have an awesome week, and please join us again soon.
    Blessings,
    Karen

    Aww, this is precious. Love the embossing too! Thank you for blessing us with your creation at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with the Word of God in 1 Peter 1:13 which tells us, "Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming." Blessings always.
