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!

Lavender Roses Anniversary Frame Card


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations! We are also doing a cross promotion with Creative Embellishments today featuring their amazing line of chipboard!

For my card I'm using the beautiful Classic Rose and Blushing Rose Collections along with a Fancy Oval Frame Chipboard from Creative Embellishments.




The flowers were stamped with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel. They were colored with chalk inks using make-up applicators and die cut with their matching dies.





The chipboard frame was painted with acrylic paint twice and then coated with VersaMark Ink and embossed with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel.

Make sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see all the beautiful projects by the designers this week! Emma Lou also has sneak peek of the next collection being released on November 9th!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #254-255

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!
