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!

Pink Dogwood Frame Card


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for me to share a little inspiration with Heartfelt Creations! This week I have another card using the beautiful Flowering Dogwood Collection!





I love these flowers and they are so easy to work with! I used the floral frame from the Flowering Dogwood Branches Set and Die and then added additional flowers and leaves using the Flowering Dogwood Set and Die. All the images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see the beautiful creations by the designers this week! There is also sneak peek of the next collection coming up!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #270-271 - Anything Goes
Really Reasonable Ribbon #158 - Celebrate Theme with ribbon/trim
Crafty Carmakers #182 - Add some texture

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!

Kathy

      Thank you Miranda! I use the Bow-Easy Tool to make all my bows. The ribbon used in this bow has a slight amount of wire in it so I was able to shape it a little more than normal. Kathy
