UNEXPECTED MIRACLES {POP Challenge 24}

This month our theme for Challenge #24 at Path of Positivity is 

SERENDIPITY

definition and some examples:
  • luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/serendipity)
  • Serendipity means a "fortunate happenstance" or "pleasant surprise". It was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. In a letter he wrote to a friend Walpole explained an unexpected discovery he had made by reference to a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip. The princes, he told his correspondent, were “always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of”. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity)

I used this Beautiful fairy from SAMI STAMPS - just click on the name of the image below to take you directly to Sami's  Online Shop:



The image has been coloured with copics and paper pieced. The design papers are Basic Grey and the flower embellishments have been created with a Fold It Swirls template.  The bling is from my stash. The sentiment is from Paulette {Create with TLC} .
  





Stephanie, from Steph's Scrap Happenings, is our GDT for this challenge.  

The sponsors and prizes for this challenge are:

  • A $12 gift certificate from Sami Stamps, one of our guest sponsors this month, for the post or project that the DT deems most inspiring of the bunch.
  • A $15 gift certificate from Lunagirl, one of our guest sponsors this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all entrants.
  • One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.
There will also be:
  • One digital designer paper (made to order in a couple different ways) from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles for one lucky voter who leaves a comment.
  • One digital sentiment for every single person who enters the challenge.
