Hello everyone and welcome
to the Path of
Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the first Monday
of the
month and it is time for our latest challenge to begin! We hope that you
and your families continue to stay healthy and safe out there.
Apologies that the Winner Announcement hasn't been posted yet. I was away from home for almost the entire month of October visiting family. I will get it done as soon as I can manage.
On to the purpose of today. Since we are not
your typical challenge blog, it is important for you to
understand how things work in order to be sure you are eligible to win
any of the prizes offered. If
you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus
behind why I started it under the 'Introductions' tab and you can find out all the details you need to know in order to participate, in the 'Challenge Details'
tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a
summary of the most important rules can also be found in the right
sidebar under the heading 'General Rules'.
Right now, it is time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...
Challenge #125
Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of
The Power of Words:
FAMILY/FRIENDS
This year's goal is to look at how
WORDS can influence our artistic endeavours. To help inspire you on this journey, each month we will focus on
different quotes. I will provide five
quotes to inspire your creative projects. If none provide any
inspiration, you can pick a quote or phrase of your own choosing to
focus on. You can use the quote/phrase/sentiment as
the focus of your creation OR you can embrace an aspect of the quote to
focus
on. As always,
following our twists are optional.
If
you do want to follow the optional twist this month, here are the quotes I've chosen for Nov.:
“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together. Keep me in your heart. I'll be there forever.” — Winnie the Pooh
“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” — Helen Keller
“Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing.” — Author Unknown
“The length of one's days matters less than the love of one's family and friends.” — Gerald R. Ford
“Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with family and friends.” — Thomas S. Monson
As you can see, the
overall theme for Nov. is FAMILY/FRIENDS.
If you want to follow the optional theme, you can simply use one of the
quotes literally and type it out and add
it to your project. However, you could also create a project with one of
the quotes in
mind. For example, you could create a scrapbook showcasing pictures of
your family and friends using quote 5 on your cover page. Or, you could
create a card for a dear family member using quote 3. There are lots of
ways you could approach the quotes. And of course, if none of these
inspires you, you can always find your own quote or sentiment expressing
the concept of FAMILY/FRIENDS.
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.
Now check out what my awesome design team came up with to inspire you.
Clicking on each team member's name will take you to their blog where
you can check out the details for their inspirational creations.
My wonderful design team continues to astound me each and every month! They all have
their own approach and deft insight into the twist. Even after all this time, I continue
to be astonished by the purview of greatness in their work! Each of these artful conceptions has showcased the
notion of
The Power of Words…FAMILY/FRIENDS admirably and I hope we have
inspired you to commence on your own exploration of creativity. Be sure to go and visit each team member so you can see how her
project further connects to the twist.
So
what are you waiting for? Create a project and/or post that is
positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature
and join our link up. How about stretching yourself by also opting to
follow the twist?! While it isn't mandatory, we'd also love to find out
how this month's twist affects your own life. How often do you rely on
words to inspire your creative endeavours? This month our quotes all
focus on
FAMILY/FRIENDS.
Are you doing anything special this month to honour your
FAMILY/FRIENDS? These important people in our lives keep us going through both the good and the bad and can often influence our creative endeavours. Like the quote from Thomas S. Monson says, “Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with family and friends.” Take some time this month to creatively honour those closest to you. 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. Finally, remember that we're trying to create a
Path of Positivity so if
you have some time, please visit other people participating throughout
the month.
Please join us again next week when we will [hopefully] post the
Top Picks for Challenge #124. Then, be sure to join us again on
November 18th when we'll be back
with
our midway featuring more great projects.
