Hello everyone and welcome
to the
Path of
Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the first Monday of the
month and we're back on the road to meander down a new positive pathway! If you live in Canada or the US, Happy Labour Day!
Let's get started, shall we?! There is no time like the present to start cultivating more positivity into our lives!
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 #72
Optional Twist: CURIOSITY
This challenge, our optional twist is a focus on
CURIOSITY. If you would like to challenge yourself, create a project that engages
curiosity in yourself or others whether by encouraging someone to be curious about the world
around them, inspiring them to explore opportunities for learning,
creativity or other forms of development, or to investigate pathways
they may never have considered before.
In order to be considered eligible for this
month's prizes, 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. Prizes this month include:
- A $12.00 gift certificate from Bugaboo Stamps, 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
Bugaboo Stamps join us as this month's guest sponsor. It is time for us to refresh ourselves with the details of this awesome company!
Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay
As
if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough
of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian
toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of
her illustrations. That was seven years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one
of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!
From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way
over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find
all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works
very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!
Now check out what my amazing 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. I'm so very pleased that Katrina is on the mend after a very serious illness and once again able to join us!
If you
are interested in purchasing the image featured in a particular
creation, you can click on the link indicated below the project to head
to the
page in the
Bugaboo Stamps store where it can be found.…
My wonderful design team continues to outdo themselves time and time again! They each have
their own style and clever interpretation of the twist. Even after all this time, I continue
to be astounded by the
scope of greatness in their work! Each of these artful conceptions has showcased the
notion of
CURIOSITY exceptionally 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 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. Do you have a story to
share on the concept of
CURIOSITY?
If you'd like to share a story about how you've explored curiosity in your own live or ways that you have encouraged it in the lives of those around 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. 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 #71. 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
September 16th when we'll be back with
our midway featuring more great projects made with designs from
Bugaboo Stamps along with some projects made with images from
Scribbles Designs, one of our on-going sponsors.
If you ever have any questions be sure to
EMAIL ME or just leave me a comment.
We look forward to seeing you participate!
