As we are a
unique kind of challenge blog, it is important for you to
understand how things work. Please be sure to check out the
START POST FOUND HERE for the specific details related to this month's challenge, and you can
find out all the general details you need to know in order to
participate, by clicking on the '
Challenge Details'
tab (located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a
summary of the most important rules can now be found in the right
sidebar under the heading '
General Rules'.
Right now, it is time to continue with our midway. Here is a refresher of the details for our current twist:
Challenge #103
Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of
Celebrate YOUR CREATIVE SELF By Making Something Special Just For YOU
This year's goal is to celebrate the positive around us. As such, if you would like to participate in the optional twist this month, we want you to design a creation
that focuses on Celebrating YOUR CREATIVE SELF By Making Something Special Just For YOU.
Often, we neglect our own needs. We think of everyone else before
ourselves but it is important to take time for ourselves to rest, relax
and recharge. We can only be there for others when we keep our internal
batteries charged. In that same respect, it is also important to do nice
things for ourselves as well. We often create crafty things for others
but this month, it is
time to make Something Special Just For YOU!
Examples include: working on a creative journal, making a special
calendar for yourself, designing a scrapbook page celebrating all things
you, making an organizer, putting together a decorative box to hold
special memories, etc. Whatever you decide to make, show the world that
you are just as important as everyone else around you by Making Something Special Just For YOU in an effort to Celebrate YOUR CREATIVE SELF.
Remember,
the twist is completely optional and you don't need to follow it in
order to win. However, in order to be considered eligible for this
month's goodies, remember that general types of projects/posts will not
qualify for the honours and prize UNLESS they are also positive, inspirational,
motivational or encouraging in some nature. Additionally, even if a project may qualify as positive, if your post
promotes negativity, hatred or anything of an abhorrent nature, your
project will be disqualified. Honours and Prize include:
- $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
- A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

Thanks again to my fabulous design team! As always, each of them have
their own exceptional approaches and concepts which impress me to no end. Each of
these creations has demonstrated the theme of
Celebrating THEIR CREATIVE SELF By Making Something Special Just For THEMSELVES admirably,
and I hope we have encouraged you throughout this challenge to come up
with your own piece of handiwork. Be sure to go and visit these talented
ladies so you can see just how their

How often do you take the time to do something just for yourself? I'm
sure you do things for others continuously but now it is time to focus
on yourself. How does the project you made this month meet your own
needs? If
you'd like to share what it means to you, we'd love to hear it. You can write a sentence or two in the
body of your post, write a sentence at the bottom of your post
next to the link up for this challenge, or simply leave a comment on
this post if you'd like.
Also,
I know that the participants would love for you to go and pay them a visit. Remember
we're creating a
Path of Positivity to follow one project at a time and
we'd love to see you somewhere on that route even if it is just by
leaving a
comment on an entry from someone who has touched you somehow with their
project and/or post! You can find our list of participants and enter
