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!

Violet Blushing Rose Swirl


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the new Blushing Rose Collection release from Heartfelt Creations! Here is a little more about the collection.

Soft in hues and striking in patterns, this newest rose themed release will have you reminiscing of old fine bone china, lace tablecloths, and elegantly wallpapered sitting rooms. Delicate images of swirling roses, fluttering butterflies and vintage scripted postcards nestled among old fashioned wallpaper like stripes, beautiful brocades and decorative lace accents have been gently set against calming tones of pale yellows, mixed blends of greenish blues, and soft lilacs. Lovely rose clustered embellishments featuring open blossoms, delicate rose buds and swirling foliage, along with a charming banner are handsome embellishments ideal for bringing a touch of old world charm to all of your paper crafting creations. Stunningly shaped roses in vintage yellow hues, paired with charming shades of muted blues bring greetings of Friendship, Thanks, Get Well Wishes and Thoughts of Encouragement. Simply add a touch of flower shaping, a kiss of ink, along with a sprinkling of glitter and your creations are ready to be assembled and gifted!

For my card this week I used the Blushing Rose Swirls Set for this beautiful flower image and the matching Blushing Rose Swirls Die. The image was colored with pencils and mineral spirits and popped onto a partial embossed white mat. The sentiment, stamped below the embossed area, is from the Encouraging You Set.





Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designer this week! What a talented bunch of ladies we have!
