Welcome Vickie, new to our Design Team!

It is my pleasure to introduce to you all, a new design team member here at Twist of Faith!  We are excited to introduce Vickie, from Missouri USA!

 I live on a farm just north of Kansas City, Missouri, with my husband Bill, a chemist and great photographer. We have four grown kids and 8 grand kids, mostly boys. I was in the ministry for 11 years as a pastor's wife and Christian school teacher. I was a teacher for a total of 30 years, from preschool to eighth grade, but mostly 1st and 2nd. 15 of those years I was a reading teacher. I retired a few years ago and knew I'd really miss teaching. 

I became a Close To My Heart consultant and have classes and clubs. I also became a design team member for our local scrapbook store and taught their card and stamping classes for three years until they closed. The aging body is limiting some of the more active things I used to do, but I've replaced those things with creating cards, encouraging friends, and sharing my faith on my blog.

Vickie is joining us from next week's challenge, so look out for her delights! If you can't wait until Tuesday, I am sure you are welcome to visit Vickie at her blog The HeARTful Stamper ...

Welcome, and blessings to you Vickie!

Challenge #23 Favourite Scripture / Inspirational Verse

Welcome to Twist of Faith, where we share through  faithful, encouraging, healing and uplifting card creations.  Each week, as a challenge closes, we will introduce a new challenge to you.  We showcase three challenge entries that spoke to the challenge the most... and they will receive our Top 3 blog badge.  However, should a challenge receive less than 10 entries, we will draw only a prize winner.... and this week is one of those weeks!                                                                

So we extend congratulations to #1 Sarah T, our random prize winner!

SARAH, if you would contact me at the yahoo email address on the right, I will arrange for your Bugaboo prize to be delivered to you! Thank you Bugaboo for your sponsorship last week!

We are happy to introduce a new 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 is a our challenge for you is:

Your Favourite Scripture/ Inspirational Words

(your creation must include a scripture, inspirational verse or positive words of healing, encouragement, or support

" The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face to shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace. " 

                              ~ Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV ~

I share here a favourite benediction of mine, which is sung often in my church.  I really find this scripture all encompassing, and peaceful.  I hope you do too! You are free to use whatever scripture, or verse/passage that will suit your creation in our theme.

Here are some beautiful creations from our teamies, showcasing some images from our sponsor!
