Rosi--chosen by Katrina…  

Katrina said this:

"My DT Delight is Rosi (#19). This little girl just makes me smile. This looks like it came right out of the notebook of every little girl I’ve ever known! Perfect with the rain, rainbow, little birds…just so cute!"

 

To see the details of Rosi's creation and read more of what she had to say click HERE.

 

 

Lori--chosen by Carole…

Carole had this to say:

"My DT Delight is Lori (#11). Lori's kissing bears are just the sweetest pair, set in a lovely hand drawn scene and framed by a background of love hearts. It makes a beautiful anniversary card. The negative die cut frame she used has made me look at my 'rubbish' in a new light."

Kathy--chosen by Suze…

Suze said this: 
"My DT Delight is Kathy (#18). I love how the reindeer appears to be peeking out from behind the word art and the red polka dot ribbon adds to this effect."

Ch. #109--Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of: Design a Creation Inspired By FASHION ...Midway

 

 

Hey folks! Welcome back to the Path of Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the third Monday of the month and that means that it is time to present the midway for Challenge #109. It is my fond hope that each of you and your own families continue to stay happy, safe, and well, wherever it is you live in this big wide world of ours. 

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 #109

Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of 

Design a Creation Inspired By FASHION

 

This year's goal is to take a look at the things around us that can inspire us in our creative journeys. As such, if you would like to participate in the optional twist this month, we want you to Design a Creation Inspired By FASHION.

Clothing is an integral part of a person’s life. The world of fashion is always evolving as one can see when they reflect back through the previous decades and centuries. Each piece of clothing has a purpose and what we select to wear reveals the story of who we are or who we want to be; how we see the world and how we want the world to see us. It helps us to showcase who we are as a person by communicating facts about our personality, our background, our culture and our unique sense of style. Through clothing, there is no end to how one can express oneself.

With new fabrics and applications being developed constantly, the progression of the fashion industry is endless.With so many colours, patterns and textures surrounding us, fashion can inspire creativity in so many ways. In fact, two very unique and creative dresses are making their way through the news, both having recently premiered at the 71st Miss Universe Pageant. Whether one enjoys or dislikes these types of pageants, one can't deny the ingenuity behind two of the outfits. A dress made out of soda tabs was worn by Miss Thailand, and a cape made from recycled water bottles was worn by Miss USA (click HERE if you want to see a picture of the 1st, and HERE for the 2nd). And, have you seen the countless dresses made from toilet paper (a quick search on google will showcase many options or you can click HERE to check out a few of them)?! The imagination of fashion designers really has no bounds!

During the month of February, Fashion Week will be celebrated in New York, Madrid, London, Milan and Paris. While people across the world celebrate fashion and what it means to them, it is a great time to show your own readers how FASHION has inspired YOU in your own creative journey.   

In order to be considered eligible for this month's honours and prize, remember that general types of projects/posts will not qualify for the prizes 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 Prizes 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.

We are all influenced by fashion in one way or another, whether we dress up to the nines or live in sweats. What influences your own particular style when it comes to fashion? 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!

Ch. #108 Top Picks: Voting Open Feb. 13 to Feb. 20/23

WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE #108 POP TOP!

Hello folks! I hope that your Path this past week has included a number of positive moments along the route and that you and your families are all doing your best to stay healthy and happy. 

 

It is time to present the top picks from the last challenge. Since we had 23 wonderful entries in Challenge #108 (click HERE to see the original challenge with the optional twist of Create Something Inspired By A WORD COLLAGE), it is time to get on with showcasing the seven projects and/or write-ups that touched the team the most. In case you are new and wondering why seven and not the typical three, four or even five? Any time that we have more than 14 entries, we have a top seven (with 14 entries or under we just have a top three). We always strive to be a bit different over here on the Path of Positivity and this is just another way to do so. Additionally, seven is a spiritual number and thus right in the wheelhouse of the vibe we are looking to project; so, seven it is when enough people join in. 

 

Thus, without further ado, please let me introduce you to the Top Picks for Challenge #108…

 

 

 

 

 

Congrats Ladies... 

As a participant who has been chosen as a Top Pick in this challenge, 

you are entitled to a special Challenge #108 Top Pick Badge.

Please feel free to grab a copy for your blog...

 

  

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Now the really hard work starts. It is time for you, our readers, to vote for your favourite entry. Which participant most inspires you? Remember, you are not necessarily voting on a creation that was made. You might simply find what the person had to say in their post to be inspiring and optimistic. Please be sure to go and check out the entries first and not just make your choices off of the thumbnails. Then, let us know who your favourite choice is by placing your vote below using the Linky Tools feature. Once you have made your decision, why not go back and let that person know how she inspired you.

 Good luck everyone!
