Winners & Design Team Delights for Challenge #67--Opt. Theme: FRIENDSHIP

Hello to all our wonderful crafting friends! Apologies for the delay in getting this post published. The end of April was a busy time in my household. Not only was it Easter weekend but the Monday I should have got this out was my hubby's birthday and then last Monday was our 30th wedding anniversary. Thank goodness April had five weeks in it. While I was delayed, at least I'm not late since the new challenge doesn't start until tomorrow!

So on that note, it is time to present the winners for Challenge #67. 

First we'll share the names of the Voter's Choice, the Most Inspirational and the Random Winner and then we'll move on to showcasing our DT Delights. Who are all the lucky peeps? Well, let's find out.

Thanks to the 30 people who took the time to join along our Path during the month of March for Challenge #67. Check out the entries that really caught our attention...

Meghan--chosen by Suze and Pippa …

Suze said this:
"My DT Delight is one of Meghan's entries. I love that she has gone out of her comfort zone and used pastel colours for this gorgeous card. The sentiment is wonderful too. "

Pippa had this to say:
"My DT Delight is also this card from Meghan. I just love the fun of this card, the puns appealed to my sense of humour and the bright colours are so cheerful."

"My DT Delight is one of Ellie's cards. This image is just adorable. I also like how Ellie stenciled on this with the chicken wire stencil and the yellow colors are so fun!"

Challenge #67 Top Picks: Voting Open April 8 to April 15, 2019

WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE #67 POP TOP!

Hello folks! It is time to present the top picks from the last challenge. Since we had 30 entries in Challenge #67 it is time to get on with showcasing the seven projects and/or write-ups that touched the team the most. In case you are new and wondering why seven and not the typical three, four or even five? Any time that we have more than 14 entries, we have a top seven. We always strive to be a bit different over here on the Path of Positivity and this is just another way to do so. Additionally, seven is a spiritual number and thus right in the wheelhouse of the vibe we are looking to project; so, seven it is when enough people join in.

Thus, without further ado, please let me introduce you to the Top Picks for Challenge #67…

Congrats Ladies... 

As a participant who has been chosen as a Top Pick in this challenge, 

you are entitled to a special Challenge #67 Top Pick Badge.

Please feel free to grab a copy for your blog...

 

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Now the really hard work starts. It is time for you, our readers, to vote for your favourite entry. Which participant most inspires you? Remember, you are not necessarily voting on a creation that was made. You might simply find what the person had to say in their post to be inspiring and optimistic. Please be sure to go and check out the entries first and not just make your choices off of the thumbnails. Then, let us know who your favourite choice is by placing your vote below using the Linky Tools feature. Once you have made your decision, why not go back and let them know how they inspired you.

 Good luck everyone!

Voting open for 7 days:

Challenge #67--Optional Twist: FRIENDSHIP...March 4 - March 31

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. 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 #67

Optional Twist: FRIENDSHIP

This challenge, our optional twist is a focus on FRIENDSHIP. If you would like to challenge yourself, create a project designed to convey the warmth of friendship to someone who could use a reminder to let them know they aren't alone.

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 $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!

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 FRIENDSHIP 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 FRIENDSHIP? If you'd like to share how you have personally been affected by a special friendship, 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 #66. 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 March 18th 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.
