Design Team Delights for Challenge #25--GROWTH

It is time to share our favourite entries for Challenge #25.  As always, in each challenge you, the readers, get to voice your opinion by voting for your favourite and so it is only fitting that my Design Team get to do so as well.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to join along our Path during the month of April for Challenge #25.  While it is always a difficult decision, most of the team members managed to find a particular entry that really caught their attention.  Take a look...

Penny--chosen by Vicky...

Vicky had this to say:
"My DT delight would be Penny. She totally got growth in my point of view when she mentioned: "We don't grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges", it's so very true!"

Create with Joy--chosen by Suze...

Here is what Suze had to say:
"My DT delight is the second entry from Create with Joy.  I love her choice of colours, the layering and the sheer femininity of this creation."

Donna--chosen by Desíre...

Here is what Desíre had to say:
"My DT delight is Donna.  Her creation is just so amazing, colourful, sparkly and pretty with the pink and green. And has so many wonderful little details to feast on."

Asmah--chosen by Pat, Penny & Monica...

This is what Pat had to say:
"My DT delight is Asmah.  Wow! I love this mixed media piece! I love the raw texture and the colors and all the elements which combine to one cohesive and beautiful page." 

Here is what Monica had to say:
"My DT delight is also Asmah.  The Art Journal was so beautiful and really a nice piece of Art!"

Penny said this:
"My DT delight is Asmah as well. Absolutely love her artistic creation! It makes me smile. :^)"

Hanne--chosen by Lisa (that's me)...

My DT delight is Hanne.  Not only do I love the sentiment that she used on her card, but I really liked what she had to say regarding how the sentiment related to the concept of growth.

"In my opinion it's the hardships in life that often offer the best possibility to grow as a human being. You may not always see the growth when it feels that everything is falling apart, but without all the experiences - both positive and negative - a person wouldn't be the same as she or he is today. I think the biggest wisdom in that quote is especially the positive attitude towards the future. There is always hope."

These are definitely words of wisdom!  We sometimes forget that we don't just grow through positive events but through negative ones as well.  True growth is achieved through the compilation of ALL the experiences we undergo.  When we go through the dark, if we can hang on long enough, we eventually come back to the light. Hanne's belief that there is always hope is an important one.
