Fight off the lies

Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.

Psalm 27:3

My family has been under attack lately, and it is so hard to love your enemy when they are hurting the ones you love the most.  People who should know much better are behaving disgracefully.

Anyway, I have I found this website to help guide me:

how to control your emotions {25 Scriptures to Help Fight off the Lies}

and it encouraged me to have a play with some digikits in Serif.  The background is from Heaven’s Delights by Scrapper’s Delights and the butterflies and foliage is froma a DaisyTrail free kit called Moonlit Forest.  The text is from the best selling book ever.

Scrapper’s Delights – Freestyle Blog hop

Hello and welcome to the Scrapper’s Delight Freestyle bloghop. 

This fortnight I am using the fabulous Pixie Corner digi-set 1.  The fairy, tree stump and toadstools have been coloured with Promarkers andcut out, then mounted on a Daisy Trail backing paper.  I loved the way the spots on the paper looked like a trail of fairy dust behind her and I enhanced it with pale green glitter.  The sentiment is from my stash and is from Hunkydory and the gem swirls were from a Hobby House kit (see yestrday’s post!).

Enjoy the rest of the bloghop – next  is Kim – remember to leave a comment at each stop to have a chance of winning a prize.
