Path of Positivity and Joy

Greetings, dear blogging friends, and new followers Alanna and Becca!
It's already the last month of 2013!

(how did that happen?)

How nice to be a Guest Designer with the great team at 

Path of Positivity Challenges!
(challenge # 9 - Joy)

In case you've not heard of them, it's a wonderful challenge blog comprised of "positive" thoughts - regardless of personal belief. All religions, philosophies, and life-sharings are welcome. The intent is to bring some positive "conversation" to share with our cyber buddies!

This month it is all about "Joy" 

       - you know - 

                 that deep abiding Contentment within us 

                             which promotes 

                                            Peace and Well-being. 

For the first half of the month, Fresh Brewed Designs is the PoP sponsor.

 They provided their darling snowman image called "Have a Tweet Christmas".

His Joy is found in "being there" for his friends, in whatever way they need him. 

He is also a great listener! (giggle)

The same sketch was used for both cards. The snowman panel is colored identically. But the cards look very unique, even though they are the same shape!

** DECEMBER PRIZES **

The sponsors and prizes for this challenge are:

• Ten digital images from Creative Bug Digitals for the person out of the top seven who receives the most votes during voting week.
• Three digital images from Ike's World for the post or project that the DT deems most inspiring of the bunch.
• Three digital images from Fresh Brewed Designs, our guest sponsors this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all entrants.
• One digital designer paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles for one lucky voter who leaves a comment.
• One digital sentiment for every single person who enters the challenge from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles as well.

And custom Badges for the Top Seven!

The brown version has a major boo-boo covered up by the pine branch die cuts. 

taunting with sing-song lilt

I bet you cannot see it, though! (laughing here)

Well, the musical notes and lilt in my voice fit with the "Tweet" and "Joy" themes, right? haha

Love this lace with the sequins and pearls - so girly and "tweet"!

I used Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make the little bow.

Thanks for stopping by - be sure to play along with the PoP Challenge - all you need is a craft, project or written Life Share which has the theme of JOY - then upload that blog post to their Linky!
