Black and White and one color..plus a bonus card!

This week at Card Crafter's Circle our challenge is super fun and it is:

BLACK, WHITE and ONE COLOUR


 I made two cards this week one for me and one for my friend DT member, Jennifer, while she is away visiting family.
The first card i made is for Jennifer and i used "Chloe the Sheep" from Digi Garden:
The shoes were cut from a Cricut cart called Kate's ABCs...i reduced the size of the sheep and flipped one.

The next card i made as my DT card and i used "Tulip the Cow" from Digi Garden:
I also used a digi "crop" from Digi My World and a Spellbinders frame die.


We at Card Crafter's Circle are so happy to have The Digi Garden joining us again with sponsorship for you! We so love their cute images. The winner's prize purse is their choice of 6 Digi Garden images! Yummy! Do pop into their shop and see the latest designs....

Seize the Day

This week at Twist of Faith our Challenge is "For Every Season" and our Sponsor is Pholkart Blessings.

Your card creation should depict a season....  and remember our 'twist of faith' your creation should also include a scripture, or quote or an uplifting sentiment that suits this week's theme.

"I thank God for you whenever I think of you.
I always have joy whenever I pray for you." 
                           Philippians 1:3-4 NLV

the above scripture is a share, or for inspiration.  Please use any scripture that offers a message fitting of our theme.

Based on the challenge i made this card using "Dog Friendship" image from Pholkart Blessings:


 As you know i make my cards for my mom and i need to start thinking about creating cards for men/boys and i think this one would work.  I did try to use seasonal paper for the background depicting the seasons.  I wanted the scripture to depict "birthday" and i thought the image was cute and could be in any season.

Our sponsor this week at Twist of Faith is Pholkart Blessings and you can find her wonderful images here.
