Sadly, since the previous challenge, we have said 'farewell' to two of our teamies.... Bonnie and Gail. Bonnie has been with us since Twist of Faith started, and Gail a shorter time, but they were both awesome teamies!
We will miss their creations in our weekly showcase, but we will be happy to visit them at their own blogs, and will be thrilled if they join in our challenges as participants!
People move on for different reasons, and we are pleased that Bonnie and Gail are moving on for happy reasons.... and will still be crafting like crazy! We wish you both, daily blessings, and the best of everything... always!
Our Team will be welcoming new members, so I hope that you will welcome them too!
(and there is still plenty of time to join us in this week's challenge.... scroll down to the previous post for all the details!)
Welcome to Twist of Faith Card Challenges... where we invite you to share your uplifting, healing, inspirational and scriptural card creations. As this is a 100% family friendly blog, we will not display saucy, risque or questionable images/text. Please do not be offended if we remove any such content that may be posted here.

This week our challenge theme is:
and a scripture, or uplifting verse or positive words of healing, encouragement, or support
Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by.
Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently
and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes ~
Not a scripture share for your this week, but a piece of wisdom that I found encouraging, and comforting.
As always, you are free to use whatever scripture, or verse/passage that will suit your creation in our theme.
Now... cast your eyes onto the wonderful images showcased by our design team for the STITCHING Challenge!
We are excited to have three guest designers joining us from the Robyn's Fetish Team!

Challenge #25 Spring Colours
(My heartfelt apologies for the errors in sponsorship details that you may have seen in this post, which has now been corrected. I am deeply embarrassed by my error, and apologise to our our current sponsor From the Heart Stamps, and our previous sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps, for listing their previous prize against our current sponsor. I'm off to go cook some bacon to go with the egg on my face....Pauline)
Welcome to Twist of Faith, where we share through faithful, encouraging, healing and uplifting card creations. Each week, as a challenge closes, and we introduce a new challenge to you. We will showcase three challenge entries that spoke to the challenge the most... and they will receive our Top 3 blog badge. We congratulate these winners in our Top 3 this week...
Ladies if you would collect your Top 3 or Winner's badge from our sidebar, we would be happy to see them worn on your blogs! And if BILLIE would contact me at the yahoo email address on the right, I will arrange for your prize to be delivered to you!
We are so happy to have From the Heart Stamps joining us with their sponsorship for you! Our prize will be a little different this week, as we have THREE $5 VOUCHERS for 3 winners... we will be awarding these to 3 winners who will receive one $5 voucher each.
From The Heart Digital Art Stamps, formally Designed2Delight, are whimsical and FUN images hand-drawn by Faith Skrdla. Faith's love of cardmaking and technology inspired her to venture into the world of illustrating stamps in November 2009. Each digi is created with the cardmaker in mind, and is a high-quality high-resolution image you will use again and again. From The Heart Stamps offer a wide range of images -- truly something for everyone. You can also find Faith's illustrations in red rubber, exclusively from Whipper Snapper Designs.
I found many scriptures about 'water' spring, but not many about the 'season' spring... the scripture I share above caught my eye, bringing to mind a luscious garden, and smiling happy people! As always, you are free to use whatever scripture, or verse/passage that will suit your creation in our theme.
Now... cast your eyes onto the fabulous images showcased by our design team for the SPRING Challenge!

Welcome Vickie, new to our Design Team!
It is my pleasure to introduce to you all, a new design team member here at Twist of Faith! We are excited to introduce Vickie, from Missouri USA!
I live on a farm just north of Kansas City, Missouri, with my husband Bill, a chemist and great photographer. We have four grown kids and 8 grand kids, mostly boys. I was in the ministry for 11 years as a pastor's wife and Christian school teacher. I was a teacher for a total of 30 years, from preschool to eighth grade, but mostly 1st and 2nd. 15 of those years I was a reading teacher. I retired a few years ago and knew I'd really miss teaching.
I became a Close To My Heart consultant and have classes and clubs. I also became a design team member for our local scrapbook store and taught their card and stamping classes for three years until they closed. The aging body is limiting some of the more active things I used to do, but I've replaced those things with creating cards, encouraging friends, and sharing my faith on my blog.
Vickie is joining us from next week's challenge, so look out for her delights! If you can't wait until Tuesday, I am sure you are welcome to visit Vickie at her blog The HeARTful Stamper ...
Welcome, and blessings to you Vickie!

Challenge #23 Favourite Scripture / Inspirational Verse
Welcome to Twist of Faith, where we share through faithful, encouraging, healing and uplifting card creations. Each week, as a challenge closes, we will introduce a new challenge to you. We showcase three challenge entries that spoke to the challenge the most... and they will receive our Top 3 blog badge. However, should a challenge receive less than 10 entries, we will draw only a prize winner.... and this week is one of those weeks!
So we extend congratulations to #1 Sarah T, our random prize winner!
SARAH, if you would contact me at the yahoo email address on the right, I will arrange for your Bugaboo prize to be delivered to you! Thank you Bugaboo for your sponsorship last week!
"Emilea and I both enjoy creating and when the idea
of creating digital stamps came up, it sounded like the most wonderful way to
earn ever! There was only one problem! We are both shy and dislike the center
of attention! As a way of "hiding behind the scenes" and avoiding
having one spokeswoman, Digi Darla was born! Working with Emilea on this project has been a
wonderful blessing and has stretched both of us. Emilea is a busy teen with her
passion for art and training our 2 horses, piano and violin lessons, and
squeezing in high school classes somewhere in between! She is also the oldest
daughter in a family of 11!"
So we extend congratulations to #1 Sarah T, our random prize winner!

daughter Emilea...
