Challenge #50 - Women - Proverbs 31

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!!

Last week was our Sketch challenge and we had so many amazing projects shared with us!  Our sponsor last week was Digi Darla Designs, who has graciously offered 5 digi images to the winner of the Sketch challenge. 

#5 - Sandra

#4 - Nancy Parker

and our winner from last week:

#7 - Marsha D

Congratulations Marsha D!!!  Please contact Zella at russnzella@yahoo.com to claim your prize.  

Now on to our new challenge:

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!!!

Should our Linky tool fail, please share your creation in the comments section with a direct link to your blog.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, 
it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

                                               ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV ~

One of the most well-known scripture passages about Love is 1 Corinthians 13... today we share a few verses, which of course relate to this week's theme! You are free to use whatever scripture, quote or verse/passage that will suit your creation in our theme.
