Welcome to a new challenge here at Twist of Faith!  We love to make cards and our "twist" is that always add a scripture, positive quote/verse, or uplifting quote.  We want to not only share our joy of making cards, but also encourage others with those cards.  You never know whose life you can touch with a card.

BORDERS & FANCY EDGES

It's time to get out those punches, fancy scissors, dies, and/or cutting machines!  There are so many different edges and borders that can be created - here is your chance to experiment!  And of course includes a scripture, uplifting quote/sentiment, or positive verse.

We have been blessed with AMAZING sponsors this year and this week we have another:  Digi Darla Designs.  Here's a little bit about them:


DigiDarla is the brain child of Kim Eskola and her daughter Emilea.  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, DigiDarla was born!

The stamps you will find in the store come from our art as well as a few family friends that help to digitize so we can keep up. Even Emilea's art teacher has granted permission to create digis from her artwork.   Working with Emilea on this project has been a wonderful blessing and has stretched both of us.

Need some inspiration?  First a verse:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty

Psalm 91:1

Hillary using Puppies Up 2

We hope that the cards our Design Team created inspired you to create a gate fold card - but don't forget to include a scripture, positive verse/quote, or uplifting verse.  We look forward to seeing your creation!

END OF THE DAY – SUNSET COLORS

There are so many colors in the evening sky - your options are endless!!  You can use a blend of colors or just pick out your favorite and go with it.  And we would love to hear why you chose the color you did. 

Our sponsor for the week is Melonheadz, who has generously offered the winner of this weeks challenge 1 image bundle of the winners choice!

A little bit about the owner of Melonheadz - Nikki:

Once upon a time, I had 1 big noisy child, and 2 small noisy children, (still noisy, just bigger...lol) and I was in desperate need for quiet book patterns. I couldn't find any that I LOVED, so... I drew my own! Not too successful, as they were way too complicated, but I had HUGE feedback on my art work.  So, my happy ending began with a blog :) I started out posting free images daily, and within a week, I had over 100 followers! I was thrilled! Slowly as my art work has improved, so have my opportunities! Etsy is just another step in achieving my dream. I have become a successful illustrator! I am so blessed to have had many willing to help me on my path, and am grateful for every single person who has visited my shop, blog, and offered requests and suggestions along the way.
I LOVE this "job"! 

Need some inspiration?  First a verse:

When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained.  What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?  For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.

Psalm 8:4-5

And now to see what our Design Team created using images from Melonheadz:
