* Path of Positivity: Strong and Beautiful

Hello!

Happy Monday!
I hope you are staying safe and well.

Today is the midway point of a the Path of Positivity challenge.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Family Ties.

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.

So, our optional theme this month is Family Ties.  
Families are a very important part of our lives. This month create a project that shows one of your own family connections. 

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

I used an image from Bugaboo Stamps, our sponsor for this month, and quote from our ongoing sponsor, Scribbles Designs.

My card represents my family tie with my niece. 
She is a beautiful young woman, who is quite strong and fearless, despite having anxiety issues. She is happy to be true to herself, no matter what others may feel. 
She has the most amazing blue hair which fades to this beautiful turquoise. At her prom she wore a gorgeous red ball gown and that is how I have depicted her in this lovely Bugaboo Stamps image:

I used the Bugaboo Beauty digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps with a sentiment, Strong, Fearless, Beautiful which is free from Scribbles. I coloured the image with Copics and fussy cut it. I made the background from a scrap of card used to brayer off excess Fresco Chalk paints. I added heat embossing in white and some stamping. I die cut the sentiment with a plain circle die to echo the heat embossed circles in the background. Both the image and sentiment were popped on foam tape to add dimension to the card.

Many thanks to Bugaboo Stamps, this month's guest sponsor,

and to Scribbles Designs as the ongoing sponsor of the challenge


We would love to see your creations!

* Path of Positivity: Take Time to Smell The Flowers

Hello!

Happy Monday!
I hope you are staying safe and well.

Today is the start of a new Path of Positivity challenge.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Family Ties.

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.

So, our optional theme this month is Family Ties.  
Families are a very important part of our lives. This month create a project that shows one of your own family connections. 

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

I was lucky to receive an image from Bugaboo Stamps, our sponsor for this month, and quote from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.

My card represents my family tie with my sister. She is the kindest, most caring person I know and she will do anything to help anyone! She always puts her own needs behind those of her family and friends and I feel the sentiment expresses what she needs to be reminded from time to time.

I used the Pretty Flower Girl digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps with a sentiment, Take Time ... Set 1 from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles. I coloured the image with Copics and fussy cut it. I used Alizarin Crimson Brushos, sprinkled lightly onto 300 gsm card and lightly spritzed with water, to create the pink background. I overlaid a die cut white card to let the pink show through and adhered the image in place. The sentiment was cut with a banner die and adhered on foam tape for dimension.

* Path of Positivity: Be Who You Are

Hello!

Happy Monday!

Today is my midway DT post for the Path of Positivity challenge.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Adoration.

Each of us is better for the people in our lives, so we are asking that this month you create a project that shows how much you care for someone who holds a significant place in your life.

Prizes this month include:

• $10 AU gift certificate from Beccy's Place, 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.

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

You can see my first card here.

 Today I am adoring my fabulous husband. We are heading towards our 38th wedding anniversary this spring, so it goes without saying that we love and cherish one another.
Yes, we do sometimes bicker and yes, we do sometimes get on each others nerves, but whatever happens we know that we will always be together and we will continue to adore one another. 

 I was lucky to receive a Scribbles digi stamp for my post and I chose this guitar playing frog called Carl Fretted. My hubby plays guitar; he sings and has an entire music library in his head, so I thought this image was very apt in depicting him. The sentiment is also from Scribbles and says it all - Be Who You Are - don't change for anyone!



I coloured Carl with Copics and fussy cut him. The background is a clean up page from brayering chalky paints. I stamped a background stamp called Background Mash Up by Tracy Evans for AAll & Create in Versafine Onyx Black, I love the small inspirational sentiments incorporated into the background stamp, such as 'attitude is everything', 'be the best version of you' and, 'big journeys begin with small steps' as well as the partially hidden, ' you are stronger than you think'.  I splattered some white paint into the background, then matted it onto black card and mounted on a white card blank.
