Path of Positivity: Togetherness

 Hello!

Happy Monday!
I hope you had a wonderful Holiday and are staying safe and well.

Today is the midpoint in January's Path of Positivity challenge.
The challenge lasts for the month of January.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of 
Look for the Positive.

Prizes this month include:
  • 3 digital images from SheepSki Designs 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.

Our optional theme this month is Look for the Positive
 For many 2020 was a hard year and it was very difficult to stay positive all the time. When things are at their worst, though, that is the time when we need to be more positive. We are starting this year by asking you to create a project where you look for the positive. This could include goals, strategies, motivational posters/cards/wall hangings, journals, calendars, cards to inspire others to stay positive ... in fact, anything about how we might look forward to a positive future in 2021.

Please remember in order to be eligible for the prizes your project must be positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way. 

We have now had over ten months of COVID 19 dominating our existence and restricting our social lives and movements.
My card today shows how I am embracing the 'togetherness' of my hubby and I. No matter what horrors the pandemic has thrown at the world, I am grateful that we have both stayed healthy throughout it.  We have looked after one another and, yes, at times drove one another mad, but we have survived.  I truly believe that having a positive outlook can relieve mental health conditions and reduce anxiety and depression.


My lovely gnome couple image is from our sponsor, SheepSki Designs and is called Giant Daisies No 207.  I coloured them with Copic markers and cut them out. The background is an AALL & Create stamp (#385 Scripted Squares) which I heat embossed in white and ink blended with Oxides. It contains lots of positive saying, so I thought it perfect for this card. The sentiment is also a stamp and this is something that my mum always used to say, and I have to say, she was usually right!

Here is a close up:
