Hello folks. It is the third Monday of the month and that means that it is time to present the midway for
Challenge #50.
As we are a unique kind of challenge blog, please be sure to check out the
START POST FOUND HERE,
for all the rules and details you need to know in order to enter. For
now, here is a refresher of what our theme is all about:
Challenge #50
Optional Theme: FAITH, HOPE, LOVE...
Faith, Hope and Love,
but the greatest of these is Love.
~1 Cor. 13:13
June is upon us and as we enter the summer months in North America, many
venues will be preparing for the commencement of the wedding season. It
is a time of year when we see a great number of couples, young and old
alike, prepare to walk down the aisle. A time when two individuals come
together to combine their lives and go forth with the hopes and dreams
of living a fulfilled existence with another by their side or to renew
said committent. It is truly a blessing to be able to witness the union
of two beings coming together in faith, hope and love--the greatest of
these being love.
Therefore, this month, in order to have a chance to win the prize for the Most Inspirational Creation, we want to see you create
a wedding card, an engagement card or even a wedding anniversary card
that reflects the concepts of faith, hope and/or love. It is time to put on those rose coloured glasses and get a little mushy.
If you do follow the optional theme,
be sure to add FT after your name so that we include you in the draw for
the prize for Most Inspirational. We
also ask that you let us know how your wedding or engagement card
relates to the concept of faith, hope and/or love, if it isn't readily
clear within the design itself or clearly written somewhere else in your
post.
While you may easily see how the concept of 'faith, hope and/or love' relates to your creation, it may not be as apparent to me or the DT members. That
is why we ask that you clarify it somewhere, whether here in a comment
on this post or in your blog post. You can simply write a sentence at
the bottom of your post next to the link up for this challenge if it
would be easier. We just need to know how your project ties into the
theme. Letting us know clears up any ambiguity that may exist.
Remember, in order to be considered
eligible for this month's prizes, ALL creations must be positive,
inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature. You don't need to follow the optional theme if you simply want to have a
chance at the Random Draw prize of three images from Pattie's Creations, one of our guest sponsors this month. You only need to follow
the theme
if you want a chance to win this month's sponsored prize of a scrapbooking kit from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles, provided by the second of our
guest sponsors this month.
