Crafter's of Faith

Good Morning My Friends!

I would like to welcome you to the very first challenge by the Crafter's of Faith. We are a small faith based group on SCS. We came together with the love of our Lord and our craft! Our faithful leader Kelly set our first challenge:

For January, I was compelled to draw from the book of Genesis since this is the beginning of this group’s creation and He has brought us all together for many common purposes!

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. I live in the mountains of north Idaho and am surround by God's beauty! It fills my soul! That would be why my card is nature inspired!

My card base is night of navy layered with whisper white. My focal image is from inspired by nature {totally fitting}! My sentiment is from time for prayer. Hope you are inspired by God's beauty that surrounds you. Please check out what the rest of the C.O.F. beautiful creations!

Flight of the Butterfly!

Good Afternoon!

I hope all is well with you! I'm a little late posting today... business always gets in the way! I had to run to get supplies and go to Costco. I have to say since I've started Isagenix our grocery bill has gone way down! I've also lost 11 lbs and 46 inches over my whole body. Pretty amazing if you ask me!

Ok onto my card! I'm not so happy with this one... it just needs something and I don't know what it is! My card base is calypso coral layered with very vanilla and everyday enchantment do. My focal image is from flight of the butterfly! 

That's it for me today.... think I'll go play with paper (0=

The Sweet Stop!

Good Afternoon!

It's Saturday... I had a super light day at work! That was wonderful! I came home and whipped out 5 cards in a matter of an hour. I did them so quick because I have a toss pile on my desk of cards that just don't work. So I took that pile and put together cards... papers already cut for the most part! This card actually started as a Mojo card a few weeks ago! It worked way better for the Sweet Stop sketch!

My card base is whisper white layered with island indigo and twitterpated dp. My focal image is from mixed bunch!

Challenges:

Crazy 4 Challenges lots of layers & embellies (pearls)

Mark's Finest Papers pile on the layers

That's it for me today! Come back tomorrow and see what the Rose's have been up to!
