I so excited to finally kick this off. This is something that has been on my blog wishlist for a good bit of time and it’s finally happening.

I am excited to invite you to participate in my monthly RemARKably SPIRITed faith based creative challenge.

Each month I will post a devotion, faith based story, poem or even song  that easily translates to a craft. Let the devotion inspire you – cards, scrapbook pages, wall art, digital art, crafts… the key is expressing the devotion as art.

This month is one of my favorite stories entitled KEEP THE FORK – download the PDF to enjoy and keep share with others. As you are inspired this month:

1. Create based on KEEP THE FORK
2. Submit your entry to me as a jpeg at janet@remarkablycreated.om throughout the month
3. Check back December 2nd  to see all of the entries for that month in a special KEEP THE FORK GALLERY and our special RemARKably SPIRITed Page
4. Be ready to take the new challenge on the 2nd of each month!

KEEP THE FORK – KEEP THE FORK

Here are 3 ideas I came up with to inspire you – all 3 use the SAME MDS image – I just either imported it or printed it different sizes.
*TIP when you start with an 8.5 x 11 image you can easily transfer that image to journals, cards, wall art and more.  You can go smaller without losing the details – you cannot always go larger because of pixelation, distortion.

KEEP THE FORK JOURNAL – I plan to use this to record the things that mean a lot to me “my forks” in life! –  The cover still needs  something in the label on the cover ..

KEEP THE FORK Simply Adorned Charm – I hope that I can use this as a witness tool. I hope it generates questions!! I found really tiny silverware pieces in the Dollhouse aisle of my local craft store, they not only fit perfectly on my 1.5×2 Simply Adorned but I can close it easily – so it fits!

KEEP THE FORK Wall Art – I love to keep things that inspire me around me. I am a very visual person and I think this will do just that. I printed the art on Canvas sheets (more details o n that in tomorrows post), embellished the fork, then wired the fork to the canvas. In addition I added more traditional embellishments (vanilla rosettes, antique brads) to this piece. I am excited to have this piece on display in my home.  Frames are my favorite use of the those 40% off coupons from craft stores that burn in my pocket.
