Our challenge this week is sponsored by MelJen's Designs, who continues to delight us with magical images! Our MelJens prize is 4 uncoloured images.  Here's a little about Meljens Designs...

"My name is Melissa Jenkins and I have been an artist as long as I can remember.... I am inspired by everything around me.  Art is an uplifting thing for me, ad I love designing cute tidbits of art that make people smile. I draw all of my little creations by hand.  A lot of love goes into my art!  Each of my designs is sketched in pencil, inked with a black Micron pen, then scanned in and lightly cleaned up so it will look crisp when you print it.  I love inspiring crafters.  I am not very talented at making cards myself, so I LOVE seeing all of the beautiful things that you make with my digital stamps.  I couldn't ask for  a better blessing!"

We love Meljen's Designs, and we know so many crafters do too! We appreciate their awesome sponsorship... the images are so much fun!

Our theme for you this week is 

Inspired by Carols

Your card creation should be inspired by a Christmas Carol.   Remember our 'twist of faith' your creation should also include a scripture, or quote or an uplifiting sentiment that suits this week's theme... perhaps even a line or two from your favourite Christmas Carol!

"He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love."
From the Christmas Carol "Joy to the World" 

(written by Isaac Watts, based on Psalm 98)

The scriptural share for you this week is a verse from the Christmas Carol "Joy To The World" ... we hope it inspires you!  Please use any scripture, carol verse or quote that offers a message fitting of our theme...

Our team this week has created with beautiful creations using our sponsor's images, inspired by wonderful Carols that I'm sure we'll all hear this Christmas... have a look!
