"Let not your heart be troubled"


I don't think any of us would argue about the fact that we live in troubled times!!!   But the wonder of it all is that we don't need to be troubled about it!  God's promises are true in good times and bad!  He is faithful and He will (if we let Him) give peace in the midst of our storms!

With that in mind, this digi from Doodle Pantry was perfect!!  This is so beautiful and encouraging!!   The image is from Cattail Pond Color Plus.   This is an older digi that Laurie colored this month.


This took me several days to get finished because life kept interrupting me!!

My supplies...
~Doodle Pantry Cattial Pond colored digi and sentiment
~Spellbinders Circles and Lacey Circles
~Impressabilities circles (see close up below)
~TH tea dye distress ink
~CM corner rounder
~K&Co paper scrap
~ribbon from my short pieces container

Debbie,
Busy is likely an understatement. I homeschool my Granddaughter and that is such a blessing. Our church has a pond much like the one on your very beautiful card. We also have a 47 foot red cross to help get the message out. The embossing adds a wonderful dimmension and the green die cut is a superb resting place for the blue circle and your main focal point.
Thank you for joining us at Word Art Wednesday.
