Our sponsor this week is the fabulously fun and faithful Robyn's Fetish!

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge. Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib.  Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

Robyn’s Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award 5 digital stamps of the winner’s choice to the winner of this challenge.


This week's #37 challenge theme is:
SQUARE!
We want to see SQUARE cards, or squares used in your card design.
Your creation should also include a scripture, uplifting verse or positive words/quote

"all the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel.
~Nehemiah 8:1~

If you look for the word "square" in the Bible, you will most often see it used as "town square." During Biblical times, towns were most often built around a central square. This was most often for protection as well as convenience. A wall surrounded the town and the square. The square acted as a meeting place, a market place or a social place. The square was a place for sharing. We would like you to share with us this week by showing us YOUR square. I hope you will enjoy our sponsor's images showcased by our design team for the SQUARE Challenge!

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!

This week's #37 challenge theme is:

THE TIES THAT BIND!
We want to see STRING/TWINE in your creation.
Your creation should also include a scripture, uplifting verse or positive words/quote

"13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
~ Colossians 3:13-14 ~

... as always, you are free to use whatever scripture, verse/passage or uplifting saying will suit your creation in our theme.

I hope you will enjoy our sponsor's images showcased by our design team for the TWINE/STRING Challenge!
