OPTIMISM ...

{DT Project Path of Positivity: Challenge #5}

I am so thrilled to be part of this very special Design Team for Path of Positivity Challenge.  This challenge is quite unique in a way as the themes for the monthly challenges are all about being Positive.  In the words of Lisa herself: 

"To that end, I have been inspired to create a place where I can come to see projects or posts that provide help, hope, courage, love, forgiveness, peace, motivation, encouragement, etc. A place to come especially on those days when the woes of the world just seem too much to bear. This is a place I would like to share with others who feel as I do. Therefore, welcome to the 'Path of Positivity Challenge' -- a different sort of challenge blog designed to inspire, nurture and provide support for the soul by creating a positive path to follow, one project or post at a time!"

This week our theme for Challenge #5 at Path of Positivity is OPTIMISM.  I used the adorable April Swings from Fresh Brewed.  You can purchase her here.   I chose her because it really looks like she has such a positive outlook on life and are optimistic about the future, so carefree..  The wonderful and inspiring sentiment, all about optimism, was also designed by Lisa herself.

The flourishes were stamped with Chiswick acrylic stamps.  She has been coloured with Copics and a white gel pen. The design papers are from my stash and are nameless, so sorry I cannot name the.  The jewel stones are from Blueberry Bear.
