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...

#6 Roberta

 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 #51 - Animals

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 Michelle Perkette Studio Designs  graciously donated the winner's choice of one of  the images we showcased for you. Thank you for sponsoring our challenge.  Our theme was Women -"Proverbs 31" 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:

Entry #1 - Deanne

Entry #3 - Princess

Inspired by Carols

Your card creation should be inspired by a Christmas Carol.   Remember our 'twist of faith' your creation should also include a scripture, or quote or an uplifiting sentiment that suits this week's theme... perhaps even a line or two from your favourite Christmas Carol!

"He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love."
From the Christmas Carol "Joy to the World" 

(written by Isaac Watts, based on Psalm 98)

The scriptural share for you this week is a verse from the Christmas Carol "Joy To The World" ... we hope it inspires you!  Please use any scripture, carol verse or quote that offers a message fitting of our theme...

Our team this week has created with beautiful creations using our sponsor's images, inspired by wonderful Carols that I'm sure we'll all hear this Christmas... have a look!
