Challenge #67 - TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS

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 the recipient of those cards.  You never know whose life you can touch with a card.

Let's first see what gorgeous creations were created for last weeks challenge!  Our challenge last week was "Baubles and Bells".  Each entry was amazing with the so many lovely colors of Christmas!  We can only imagine what your Christmas Trees must look like!  Our random winner this week is......

#5 - Lori U

Congratulations Lori!  Please contact Zella at russnzella@yahoo.com so that she can make arrangements for your prize to be delivered.

And now on to this weeks new challenge:

TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS

 What does "Traditional Christmas" mean to you?  Is it a family tradition that you still keep after many, many years?  Is it an ornament that is on the tree every year?  Maybe making cookies with the kids using your grandmother's cookie cutters?  Or is it going Christmas Caroling with your friends?  This week we are asking you to make a card that represents that your Traditional Christmas is or what it means.  We'd also love to hear about your tradition when you write your post on your blog.  Who knows - your tradition might become one of ours!  And don't forget that your card must include a scripture, uplifting quote/sentiment, or positive verse in order to be considered for our random prize.

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!

 REMEMBER our challenge is about including a 'twist of faith' ... your creation should also include a scripture, quote or an uplifting verse!

If our Linky Tool fails us, please share your creation through the comments section, with a direct link to your blog post. Your creation will be counted!

Be SQUARE and share ... have a wonderful and blessed week!
