Challenge #63 - LOTS OF LAYERS


Welcome to Twist of Faith, where we share card creations with scripture, or uplifting verse and quotes!  Before we get on to our new challenge, first let us congratulate our winner from our last challenge!

Our random prize winner this week is...


 Congratulations!

 Please email Zella at russnzella@yahoo.com, and she will arrange for your prize from our sponsor last week, Digi Darla's!

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 #63 challenge theme is:

LOTS OF LAYERS!

Your creation should also include a scripture, uplifting verse or positive words/quote

"Let all that I am praise the Lord. O Lord my God, how great You are!  You are robed with honor and majesty."
~ Psalm 104:1 ~

... 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 LOTS OF LAYERS Challenge!

Challenge #62 - IN REMEMBERANCE




Welcome to Twist of Faith, where we share card creations with scripture, or uplifting verse and quotes!  Before we get on to our new challenge, first let us congratulate our winner of last week's Postcard/Card and Envelope/Pocket Challenge.  Since we only had 4 entries, we do not have a Top 3, but we do have a random winner:



Congratulations Lorraine!  Please email Zella at russnzella@yahoo.com, and she will arrange for your prize from our sponsor last week, Stamp Art Design by Kathryne!

We are happy to welcome back our sponsor ... Digi Darla's Designs! Our random prize winner will receive their choice of  FIVE images! 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, Digi Darla was born!  Working with Emilea on this project has been a wonderful blessing and has stretched both of us. Emilea is a busy teen with her passion for art and training our 2 horses, piano and violin lessons, and squeezing in high school classes somewhere in between! She is also the oldest daughter in a family of 11!"

This week's #62 challenge is a:

IN REMEMBERANCE

This card can be in memory/honor of someone you loved or a sympathy card or just inspired by a memory you have.  But don't forget:

Your creation should also include a scripture,
uplifting verse or positive words/quote..

"I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old." (Psalm 77:11) 

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

Our Design Team has been busy creating cards for this challenge.  Take a look:
