Today we're sharing projects with Seasonal Labels and Primitive Blessings. I love this Peace sentiment from Seasonal Labels. It is most often associated with the holidays, but is equally appropriate for everyday circumstances, especially when paired with the right image, like this one from the Sun-Kissed Autumn StampTV kit. It makes me think of my wise, Godly friend Grace, who says that giving your problems to God in prayer is like releasing a balloon and watching it float heavenward...we should receive His peace and do our best not to bring those problems back down to earth! It also makes me think of "catching a ray" of sunshine! The bright colors and carefree floral design of the Sun-Kissed Autumn designer paper set the stage for warm, happy thoughts.

Here's a simple, whimsical design using images and a coordinating sentiment from Primitive Blessings. I used a scrap of Echo Park designer paper for the sky, a few punched strips of green card stock for grass, and some black twine for the power line. To bring a little more detail and a pop of contrasting color to the design, I added a tiny butterfly from Tami's Ticket Trio to the bottom left corner.
