Path of Positivity - Mid Month Post - Possiblities

It is the third week in August, which means we (the Design Team) get to share our mid month inspiration for our current challenge over at Path of Positivity.

Challenge:  Possibilities

Sponsors:  The Stamping Boutique

Ike's Art

Decosse's Dynamite Doodles

Creative Bug Digis

Anything is Possible. We hear this phrase often, but do we truly believe it? I do. Possibilities start with a dream. But it is up to us, our drive, determination and hard work that make these possibilities into a reality. Some people may say "it is impossible". But these are the people that don't want to work to make their dreams come true. I believe, if you want something bad enough, there is always a way. 

I think that is why I love this saying...There is always a way. It may not be easy, and it may not happen over night, but then again, anything worth having, is worth working for!

I haven't made a tri-fold card in a while, so I took the opportunity on this challenge to do so. I also made a matching envelope with my envelope maker. That little tool works perfectly for my odd sized cards.

So if you have not played along yet in our challenge over at Path of Positivity, we would sure love to have you. Share with us your thoughts on possibilities, or better yet, show us with a project. We would sure love to see it.

Mid Month - Path of Positivity - LOVE

Well, Valentine's Day has passed, but that doesn't mean we can't still celebrate LOVE. It is mid month over at PoP and we would LOVE to see you play along this month. What does love mean to you? I know it is a hard one to explain, but we would love to hear your thoughts or see a project or even both.

For my mid month inspiration I chose to work with 2 of the sponsor's images, one from Creative Bug Digitals and one for Ike's Art.

The image I used from CBD is called unfrogettable. Since I did a "Frog" theme for my 1st post, I thought it would be fun to do one for my mid post as well. I used this tag to go along with my son's Valentine treat.

I used my envelope maker to create this fun candy holder. I thought this would make a cute little Valentine. The February 14th Label is from Created with TLC and makes a nice addition to this tag.

The image I used from Ike's Art is called Mother's Day 1. I talked about Family and Love in my first post, so I thought this would be a nice card to share symbolizing a Mother's Love.

The sentiment come's from a stampin up set called Mother & Child. 

Our generous sponsors have lined up some great prizes. You are not going to want to miss out. So pop on over to PoP. We would love to hear from you.

Path of Positivity challenge #10 - Generosity

It is the first week of the year and a first for me as a guest designer over at Path of Positivity Challenges!  The intent of this blog is to bring some positive "conversation" and "creations" to the blogging world through challenge blog themes.

This month the theme is "Generosity"

Coming right off from the holidays, I am sure we have lots of inspiration from the Generosity given and received. It is easy to be generous during the month of December as everyone seems to also be in the giving mode. But it is important to be generous throughout the year. Generosity is a quality, like honesty and patience. It comes in all forms, not just a monetary. It is a quality of being kind, understanding and not selfish, something we can offer all year long.

The guest sponsor for the first half of the month is Digistamps 4Joy  DS4J

Vase of Hearts

The image I chose to work with is Vase of Hearts, but she has some other wonderful images that would work perfect for Valentine's Day!

Here is what I came up with:

I love this quote because it is so true. If we all did something generous daily, imagine the impact we could make. It is simple, but says a lot.
