Hello everyone and welcome
to the
Path of
Positivity Challenge Blog! It is a brand new year and we hope that yours has had a positive start to it! Since it is also the first Monday of the
month, it is time for our first challenge of the year to begin!
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 #76
Optional Twist:
CHARACTER TRAITS
This challenge, our optional twist is a focus on
CHARACTER TRAITS.
We are all made up of different kinds of qualities that come together
to make up our overall character. If you would like to challenge
yourself,
create a project that helps to portray one or more of your own unique character traits.
Examples include: kindness, humour, charity, generosity, integrity,
devotion, etc. At the start of a new year, let's learn a little bit more
about who you are as an individual.
You do
NOT need to follow the twist in order to be considered eligible for this month's prizes.
HOWEVER, 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:
- $12 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 ten 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 to introduce Carole, joining us for the very first time this month!
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
CHARACTER TRAITS 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. What are some of your own
CHARACTER TRAITS?
There are so many to choose from including traits such as kindness, humour, charity, generosity, integrity,
devotion, etc. If you'd like to share some of the traits that define 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] begin on the
Top Picks for Challenge #75. 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
January 20th when we'll be back with
our midway featuring more great projects made with designs from
Bugaboo Stamps along with 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!
