Challenge #52 - Easel/Pop-up Cards

Welcome to a new challenge here at Twist of Faith!   We are so excited that you are visiting us today.  

We are a  Family Friendly Challenge Blog with a group of women who love to create cards with a special  "twist". Each week we love to share our creativity in giving each card a special touch of encouragement by placing a scripture, positive quote/verse, or uplifting quote somewhere on the card.  We want to not only share our joy of creativity  in making cards, but also encourage others with those cards.  You never know whose life you can touch with a card.

 We would love to have you join us in our weekly challenge...having fun together sharing and enjoying inspiration as we see your beautiful artwork.    Each week we are honored to have a Sponsor graciously donate their creative images of art. 

Our  Sponsor last week  MelJen's Designs graciously donated the Winner a choice of  4  Black/white images. Thank you for sponsoring our challenge.  Our theme was Animals and we had so many amazing projects shared with us. We wish that each and every person could be winners.  Here are a few that we wanted to share with you:

Our challenge this week is sponsored by Meljen's Designs, who continues to delight us with magical images! Our Meljen's Designs prize is Winners choice  of 4  B/W images.

"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!"

Before we share what our Design Team created this week, we want to share a passage from the Bible with you :

Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.  The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.

Psalm 86: 11-12

Women - Proverbs 31

It's celebrating women!  This week we have another amazing sponsor!   Michelle Perkett Studio Digital Stamps is once again sponsoring our challenge.  We are so thankful for our sponsors each week - and this week is no exception!  Michelle is quite the artist!  Her images are all hand drawn and she is always coming up with something new beautiful.  We hope that you visit her Etsy shop - but be prepared to stay for a while because her site is full of amazing images!!! Michelle Perkett Studio Digital Stamps is graciously awarding the winner of our Women - Proverbs 31 Challenge one of the images featured by our Design Team. 
 Before we share what our Design Team created this week, we want to share a passage with you about women:

She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.  When she speaks her words are wise and she gives instruction with kindness.  She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.  Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: "There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!"  Charm is deceptive and beauty does not last, but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.  Reward her for all she has done.  Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Proverbs 31:25-31 (NLT)

Our design team has been busy this week.  Take a look and see what they created using some Michelle Perkett Studio Digital Stamp images and the sketch:

Antoinette using Guinevere

Antoinette 2nd Card Using 'Thanks Mum'

Barb using Fire

Ginny using Guinevere

Hillary using 3 Graces Ballerinas

Tracey using "3 Graces Ballerinas"

Vickie using "Thanks Mum"

Zella using "3 Graces Ballerinas"

We hope that the Design Team projects have inspired you this week.  It's time to celebrate women!  And of course don't forget that verse, scripture, or quote!  We look forward to seeing what you create!!!

Challenge #49 - It's a SKETCH!

Welcome to a new challenge here at Twist of Faith!   

We are so excited that you chose to stop by today and hope that you'll join in the fun!  If you're new to challenge, let me take a moment and tell you a bit about who we are:  We love to make cards  and our "twist" is that we 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.  We would love for you to join us this week...and the week after that...and the week after that...we'd love to see you're beautiful artwork!!

Now on to our new challenge:

It's Time to get Sketchy!

Yes, it's a sketch challenge this week.  I love having that "starting point" of a sketch.  It helps spark my creativity.  This week we have another amazing sponsor!   Digi Darla Designs is once again sponsoring our challenge.  We are so thankful for our sponsors each week - and Digi Darla Designs is certainly one to be thankful for time and time again!!  A little bit about Digi Darla Designs:  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! 

Digi Darla is graciously awarding the winner of our Sketch Challenge 5 digis of your choice!  Amazing!!!!!

Now I guess you would like to see the sketch, right?  Well, we have our own Design Team member to thank for this sketch!!  Zella submitted the sketch:

 As we do every week, we want to share an inspirational verse with you:

And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus

Phil. 4:19 (NKJV)

Our design team has been busy with the sketch this week.  Take a look and see what they created using some Digi Darla images and the sketch:

Antoinette using "Blowing Dandelion"

Inside

Barb using "One Cup of Daisies"

Ginny using "Beach Scene"

Inside

Hillary using "Blowing Paper Windmill"

Tracey using "Blowing Paper Windmill"

Vickie using "One Cup of Daisies"

Zella using "Blowing Dandelions"

So are you inspired?  Remember when using a sketch you can turn it on it's side or however you wish - we only ask that the sketch be recognizable.  And of course don't forget that verse, scripture, or quote!  We look forward to seeing what you create!!!
