Summer Break Reminder

Hello there folks! I'm just popping in with a reminder that we are taking the month of July off. I mentioned it during the posts published in June but figured it would be best to remind everyone in a separate post as well.

Over the last few years, we have made the decision to take time off in the summer and thus will be off for the month of July. We take a break for the following reasons:

1. Since it is summer time here in North America, Britain, Europe and other locales in the northern hemisphere, many of our players are out of the house and enjoying the warmer weather;
2. My hard working Design Team deserves a little bit of time off; and 
3. It gives me the opportunity to do some catching up with everything I'm always so far behind on by mid year.

Now if you are waiting on the Top Picks and Winner Announcement from our June challenge, we'll be back with those posts in August, taking place during the 2nd and 4th weeks of the month in their regular spots.

I truly hope that you will all continue to support us when we return on August 2nd (as long as everything goes according to plan) for our next challenge.

For the time being, I really hope that those of you living in the northern hemisphere are all enjoying your summer and for those of you in the southern hemisphere, I hope that your winter isn't too harsh. I know that while this year is a better year for some, it is still posing certain challenges for others; so, it is my fondest hope that you are able to make the most out of it!

Take care everyone, stay walking on your own Path of Positivity if you can and we'll see you all again real soon.

Thanks to the people who took the time to join along our Path during the month of May for Challenge #91. Out of the 31 entries linked up, check out the ones that really caught our attention...

 

Astrid--chosen by Katrina…

Katrina said this:

"My DT Delight is Astrid (#05). This is would be such a fun way to change your environment! First off the fantasy of this trip would change things up for most then having this card sitting in your home would bring tons of smiles! Such an adventure here!"

Ellie--chosen by Carole…

Carole had this to say:

"My DT Delight is Ellie (#08). Ellie's image and sentiment are perfect together. Such a fun card with those kitties playing the piano so hard, the keys are flying off. Beautifully coloured and with a pretty stencilled background."

Ma-Mi--chosen by Suze…

 

Suze said this: 
"My DT Delight is Ma-Mi (#28). I like the balance of the card with the beautiful scene on the right and the white space broken with the sentiment on the left. The paper strip separates the two spaces beautifully."
