Twist of Faith #43 - SCENES - Scenic card/or a scenic image

This week at Twist of Faith Card Challenges the theme is "Scenes" - to create a scenic card or a scenic image.  I must admit that this was sort of out of my comfort zone and I don't think I really followed the theme all that well to be honest.  The image I chose from our amazing sponsor, StampArt Design by Kathryne, was Allie & Angel.  The image is so sweet and it was sort of a scene already so I didn't create a scene with it - I just let the image speak for itself.

 

Now if you remember, the "twist of faith" is to include a scripture, encouraging verse, or quote.  The quote I used was from my image stash box - I don't know where it came from but I liked it and wanted to use it here.

 

I colored the image with colored pencils.  I thought about markers, but I wanted pencil feel...I didn't even blend the colors much. 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day and take a few minutes to encourage someone....it will not only bless that person - but also you.



{PIN}spirational #63

Tuesday is here and that means that's a {PIN}spirational Challenge day!

 

Look at this great summer picture for inspiration:

 

Isn't this adorable?  It reminds me of when I went fishing as a little girl.  And one time - if you can believe it - I was afraid of worms so I actually tried to fish with frozen fish sticks!  LOL!!!

 

Our sponsor this week is Elisabeth Bell Designs

 

 

You just have to check out her images - they are so sweet!!  I was blessed to be able to use one for this weeks card.

 

 

Are you inspired by the picture?  Maybe the colors?  The water?  The little girl?  Maybe it brings back a memory for you?  Whatever inspires you, be sure to link your creation at {PIN}spirational Challenge for a chance to win a great prize!

 

Thanks for stopping by!  God bless you!

 

 

 



SUMMERTIME!

It's here!!  Officially!!!  Summer!!!!  YEAH!  And today - here in Ohio - it really is summer.  The temps are nice and toasty.  When we were out earlier the car temp said 90 degrees.  I'm not sure it's really 90, but high 80's for sure.

 

With summer being here, may challenge blogs had summer as their theme for the week so of course I had to make a summer card today.  (Ok, any excuse to spend time in the craft room - but whatever works right?).

 

The image is from Bugaboo Stamps.  I colored her with Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment is from a kit that I bought a long time ago...so long ago that it didn't even stick anymore by itself....had to use a couple glue dots for it.

 

 

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

QKR Stampede - "Summer Fun"

Craft-Room Challenge - "Here Comes Summer"

Milk Coffee Challenge - "Summer Fun Challenge"

Eureka Stamps - "Anything Goes"

Perfect Sentiments Challenge - "Sun & Sand"

Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge - "Summer Theme"

ABC Challenges - "Summer"

Patties Creations Challenge - "Summertime Fun"

2 Sisters Challenge - "Summertime"

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your summer day!!!!!

 



Twist of Faith - #42 - SKETCH!

Tuesday also means it's time for the weekly Twist of Faith Card Challenge.  This week it was a sketch and that is right up my ally because I always need a "jumping off point" to get me started.  So the sketch for this week is:

Our sponsor this week is

 

 

Digi Darla Designs

 

I was able to work with an image called "Blessing of Heaven 7".  Since I make cards for our local pregnancy center, baby cards are always on my mind it seems.  So this card is going into the box for the pregnancy center.  I hope it brings a smile to a new mom.

 

 

I really dug into my stash for this one.  The "Welcome Little One" is a sticker that I've had for a year or more and the little safety pin & binkie is over 3 years old.  I'm not even sure where the ribbon came from...Ha-ha!

 

Now it's your turn....You can turn the sketch on it's side or use it as it is....and the theme is anything you want - just make sure there is a scripture, quote, or encouraging word included.

 

Blessings to you!!!



 

{PIN}spirational #62

Tuesday means it's that time again - time for a new {PIN}spirational Challenges picture.  So what do you think:

 

Don' you just love the colors?  How about the car itself...brings back some memories for me - I remember we had a dark blue bug when I was younger.  Lots to be inspired by in this picture!

 

Our sponsors this week are:

Fresh Brewed Designs

 

...and....

 

Fred She Said

 

I was able to work with image from Fred She Said.  I kept with the old car theme.  I started coloring the image with markers, but quickly changed my mind.  I wanted that old feel so I broke out the pencils again.  I still love coloring with pencils!

 

 

So what about you?  What inspires you about the photo?  I can't wait to see!!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a blessed day and don't forget to encourage someone today.

 

 

 

 

Inkspirational #24

One of the challenges that I try to participate in every week is Inkspirational Challenges.  This week is the week where they give a photo for inspiration:

 

 

It just so happened that this week I received an envie of goodies for a group on SCS and guess what the theme was?  Yep - a ship!  So it fit perfectly!  I made two cards with the ship theme items from the envie so I'm submitting them both for the Inkspirational Challenge. 

 

 

Have a very blessed day!!!!!



Majestic Eagle

It's too late to make another Father's Day card, but there are a few challenges that have "masculine" themes this week so I wanted to make a masculine card.  I love Eagles - so does my hubby.  They are so majestic and beautiful!

 

The image used here is from Eureka Stamps.  I kept it black and white because I loved the look without color.  I guess I was going a bit patriotic with the blue and red colors.  Although I didn't include a picture, there is Bible verse on the inside of the card that I matted on navy cardstock (the same as the base of the card).

 

I'm submitting this card into the following challenges:

Use It Tuesday - Masculine - nothing new on this card - dug into the stash for the pearls, papers, and image/verse

Tuesday Throwdown - You're The Man - since my hubby loves eagles, this will be going to him

Loves Rubberstamps Challenges - Masculine theme

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your day and don't forget to be a blessing to someone today!
