Hello everyone and welcome to the Path of
Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the first Monday of the month so it is time for our newest challenge to begin!
As mentioned in January, we've made a few important changes for 2019 including the fact that participants no longer have to follow the optional twist in order to be chosen as Most Inspirational, and
twists are now strictly for fun or to help you stretch yourself as a
designer. Due to this change, participants are no longer required to add FT after their name if
they have followed the optional twist.
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 now be found in the right
sidebar under the heading '
General Rules'.
Right now, time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...
Challenge #66
Optional Twist: LOVE
This challenge, our optional twist is a focus on
LOVE.
If you would like to challenge yourself, create a project to show
someone special in your life just how much you love them. However,
remember that the
optional twist is just for fun.
In order to be considered eligible for this month's prizes, remember
that regular types of projects such as birthday cards, or other general
type projects/posts will not qualify for the prizes
UNLESS they are also
positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature. Prizes this month include:
- A $10.00 AU gift voucher that can be redeemed for digital stamps from Beccy's Place, our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
- ONE image (value of $5
or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
- One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.
Talking of our guest sponsor...
We are very pleased to have
Beccy's Place join us as this month's guest sponsor.
Beccy's Place is brand new to sponsoring our challenge blog so it is time for us get to know this company a bit better…
My paper obsession began with scrapbooking in the late 1990s and has
since evolved into card-making and digital drawing. There were a few
years of decorative painting, teddy bear making and silk ribbon
embroidery mixed in there too! I still dabble in each of those crafts,
and many others, but I generally gravitate toward paper, which I find
versatile and forgiving.
I started “doodling” little designs for cards back in 2009, which is
when I started my blog and began sharing my images with other Cardies.
From there I progressed to my very own online store selling digital
drawings for cards and other paper craft projects. In 2012, Margaret
Myers from Sparkle N Sprinkle contacted me with a proposal to make some
of my designs into rubber stamps, which was a very exciting opportunity
for me. Four years later, I decided to further expand my business by
offering my very own range of clear stamps, which are also sold from my
online store. My latest venture is a line of cutting dies that will
coordinate with some of my most popular clear stamps. These days, when
I’m not hanging out with my husband and kids, I spend a lot of time with
other crafters and card makers, enjoying our shared passion for
handcrafts. I can’t imagine a day without some sort of creative activity
taking place, whether it’s designing a new image, hand-stitching a
little toy or just taking some inspirational photographs.

My amazing design team continues to outdo themselves! They each have
their own unique styles and ideas. Even after all this time, I continue
to be amazed by the
quality of their projects! Each of these designs has showcased the
concept of
LOVE uniquely and splendidly and I hope we have
inspired
you. Be sure to go and visit each team member so you can see how her
project further connects to the theme.
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. Do you have a story to
share on the concept of
LOVE? If you'd like to share how
you have personally been affected by love, 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. 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.
I hope to see you back next week when voting
will (hopefully) start on the
Top Picks for Challenge #65. There will be a separate post detailing those picks where you
will have the opportunity
to vote on the creation or post that you have found to be the most positive, inspirational or encouraging of the chosen picks.
Then, be sure to join us again on February 18th when we'll be back with our midway featuring more great projects made with designs from
Beccy's Place along with some projects made with images from
Scribbles Designs, one of our on-going sponsors.
