Hello everyone and welcome to the Path of
Positivity Challenge Blog! Apologies for publishing a bit later than usual this evening. Not only is it one of those months where all three of the challenges I take care of converge on the same day for posting but I was on the phone earlier this afternoon with my best friend who just found out that her father has been given two to four weeks to live. This is such devastating news and it has thrown me for a loop. Her dad has dealt with health problems over the last several years and is currently in the hospital but this news was not expected. I would ask that those of you who pray, to please send up a special prayer of comfort for Laurie and her family as they adjust to this news. It is a bit ironic that the twist this month is happiness considering what her family is dealing with. However, at the same time, one can only hope that even during such shattering news, her family can share in some happy moments together in the time they have left with their patriarch.
Now, it is time to continue on with the reason you are all here. It is the first Monday of a brand new month so it is time for our latest challenge to begin!
As mentioned in January, we've made a few important changes for 2019. If
this is your first visit here this year and you'd like to read up on
those changes, click
HERE. You can find them towards the top of that post.
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, it is time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...
Challenge #68
Optional Twist: HAPPINESS
This challenge, our optional twist is a focus on
HAPPINESS.
If you would like to challenge yourself, create a project designed to spread the message of happiness.
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 gift certificate from Limited Runs, 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
Limited Runs join us as this month's guest sponsor. It is time for us to refresh ourselves with the details of this awesome company!
Limited Runs is a great
little shop for all your digital needs. We have tons to play with and
even better, they are all set up for those on a budget, with almost all
images for only $2.00 and lots of hidden sets and deals in the shop to
save you money!!!
Who doesn't like to save $$$. We have a huge Collection for the
Holidays and also lots of other cuties and not so cute images. We also
have cupcakes, coffee, and for those that like the darker side, monsters
and even a eyeball
cupcake.
The Challenge itself is on Facebook but
don't worry if you don't have Facebook. You can email me a link to your
site showcasing your project using the image and I will add you into the
challenge so you can win
too. The Progressive challenge works in 3 rounds; so, there is a freebie
available every 1st round. Just email me if you want to play.

Cactus (Category: Flowers)
My incredible design team continues to distinguish themselves! They each have
their own notable style and imaginative vision. Even after all this time, I continue
to be astonished by the
degree of excellence in their work! Each of these designs has showcased the
concept of
HAPPINESS 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
HAPPINESS? If you'd like to share how
you have personally been affected by happiness, 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 #67. 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
April 15th when we'll be back with
our midway featuring more great projects made with designs from
Limited Runs along with some projects made with images from
Scribbles Designs, one of our on-going sponsors.
