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!

Raindrops on Roses Scrapbook Page Holder

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I have a fun project today using the beautiful Raindrops on Roses Collection from Heartfelt Creations!  I bought this 6" x 6" Scrapbook Page Holder at Michaels and thought it would be perfect for the 6" x 6" designer paper blocks in the collection!

Here is the holder showing the cover decorated with lace, ribbon bows, and pearls.  I used the beautiful Raindrops on Rosettes image and Raindrops on Roses Die behind it for the front cover.



Here is a close up of the image that I stamped on Solar White Card stock and colored with pencils and mineral spirits.  It's been a very long time since I colored images with skin and I'm definitely out of practice!


 I just love the beautiful colors of these designer papers and tried to color the image to match.  You can see the two new dies behind the image, a green oval shaped lacy die and then two of the other die cut with white.  These dies are so beautiful and have so many possibilities to create with!

These are photos of the individual pages I made with the designer papers.  Each is different and made with the card fronts, tags, and journals blocks from the papers.  Very quick and easy to put together!  You can always add embellishments after adding your photos!










Be sure to visit the HC Blog today to see what the designers have for you!

I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #120 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blessings!

Happy Saturday!
It's time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!

This week's challenge:
Since today is National Scrapbooking Day, we want to see you make a scrapbook layout (any size).

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Friday, May 11th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

 
While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them. As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing three or more of our participants for the Shining the Light Award . In order to qualify for this award or join the challenge, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Friday, May 11th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC107. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my scrapbook page for the challenge this week.



This is a picture of me when I was probaby about 4 years old.  Probably seems silly to scrapbook one of my own photos, but this one has special meaning to me.  It just totally reminds me of my Mom who passed away a few years ago.  I don't remember if she kept it framed on the wall or not, but I think she may have.

The photo was "colorized" so I tried to match the papers and embellishments with it.  I found these beautiful papers at a scrapbook store that I use to go to a long time ago when I did a little scrapbooking.  Things have changed a lot since I made scrapbooks for my boys, so I did the best I could with what I've seen.

I used a new stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs called "Flourished Verses".  It's a pretty set with some basic sentiments that are good to have on hand.

For ingredients used:

Stamps: Flourished Verses (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Be Happy Be Joyful Paper, Follow Your Heart (My Mind's Eye), darl green, med. green, peach, pink, old pink (no names - from scrapbook store)
Ink: Creamy Caramel (SU), Sweet Blush (Palette), Onyx Black (VersaFine)
Accessories: Adhesive pearls (Recollections), Flowers (RAK, Prima Sugar Blooms Collection), lace, ribbon & trim (scrapbook store), seam binding (Really Reasonable Ribbon), decorative brads & layered stickers (Follow Your Heart - MME), Grand Adhesion Stickers (K&Co), Fanciful Flourish (Cheery Lynn), Classic Petals Edgeabilities, Paisley Impressionablilies, Holly Motifs Shapeabilities, Foliage Shapeabilities, Classic Scalloped Ovals Large, Floral Ovals (Spellbinders)

For some more inspiration this week, check out the other DT ladies and their beautiful creations!



Hope you can join in on the ODBD Challenge this week and try doing some scrapbooking!
