Path of Positivity Challenge "Resiliency" - GDT post

I'm super excited! Lisa at Path of Positivity Challenge asked me to be Guest DT at their challenge so here I am - posting my GDT creation for PoP Challenge #31 "Resiliency". :) Path of Positivity Challenge is really unique - it's all about positivity and I think there can never be too much positivity in life. The challenge runs as of today until November 1st so there's plenty of time to join. You don't even need to be a crafty person to join - you can also share an inspirational story.

Now I would like to share my thoughts about resiliency and the card I made with this theme in mind. Oxford Dictionary describes resiliency to be "the ability of people or things to feel better quickly after sth unpleasant, such as shock, injury, etc". So it's the ability to get up and keep going mentally and/or physically after falling down. I think it includes persistance and flexibility - kind of "never give up" attitude. I found this quote by Nelson Mandela that I think fits this theme perfectly so I had to pair it up with this beautiful image "Ice Skater" by Ike's Art, who is one of the guest sponsors of the challenge and generously provided me with the image.



So the quote says "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall". I chose this image as I think that skaters like all athletes truly need resiliency so that they'll put the dissapointments behind them and keep pushing towards the success. 


I coloured the image with ProMarkers and cut it with Sizzix Tickets die. The DP on the background is by DCWV from their Tahiti Beach Stack. I used some blue cardstock on the background as well as matting the image and sentiment. In addition I used a doily, some lace, peel off sticker and some blings. The image and the sentiment are both attached with 3D foam pads.

There are wonderful sponsors and several possibilities to win great prizes.
  • A $10 gift certificate from Ike's Art, one of the guest sponsors this month, for the post or project that the DT deems most inspiring of the bunch.

  • 2 images from The Stamping Boutique (3 if you use a TSB image), one of the 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 person who leaves a comment on posts published during the challenge timeframe.
  • One digital sentiment for every single person who enters the challenge.

I suggest that you head over to Path of Positivity Challenge blog for more details. The DT has made some truly inspirational creations, so go and check them out. I'm sure everyone would also appreciate if you left some love to their blogs. 

I participate with my card in the following challenges:
Ants in my Pantry Challenge #10 "Anything goes" 
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #19 "Anything goes"


Olen todella otettu, sillä Lisa Path of Positivity -haasteesta pyysi minua vierailevaksi designeriksi tämän kuukauden haasteeseen, joka on "resiliency" eli kyky palautua nopeasti ennalleen jonkin ikävän tapahtuman jälkeen. Path of Positivity -haaste on siitä omalaatuinen, että se keskittyy nimenomaan positiivisiin asioihin. Osallistua voi myös ilman askartelutuotoksia kirjoittamalla jonkun aiheeseen liittyvän inspiroivan blogipostauksen. :)

Pohtiessani tätä haasteen teemaa, vähän jopa sanakirjan avullakin, mieleeni tuli ennen kaikkea urheilijat ja heidän kykynsä jättää epäonnistumiset taakseen ja puskea eteenpäin kohti tavoitettaan. Tämä siis sekä mentaalisella että fyysisellä tasolla. Niinpä päädyin yhdistämään tähän haasteen vierailevan sponsorin Ike's Artin "Ice Skater" -kuvaan tekstin, jossa lainaan Nelson Mandelaa "The greates glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall". Eli hyvin vapaasti suomennettuna elämästä ei tee loistokasta se, ettei koskaan kaadu vaan se, että nousee ylös joka kerta kaaduttuaan. Tuo lausahdus kuvaa mielestäni haasteen aihetta erinomaisesti, sillä "resiliency" -sana sisältää niin periksiantamattomuutta kuin mukautuvuuttakin.

Väritin kuvan ProMarkereilla ja stanssasin Sizzixin Tickets-stanssilla. Taustalla käytin DCWV:n kuviopaperia Tahiti Beach Stack -lehtiöstä sekä sinistä kartonkia, jota käytin myös kuvan ja tekstin kerrostukseen. Lisukkeena kakkupaperilasinalunen, pitsiä, ääriviivatarra sekä blingejä. Sekä kuva että teksti on kohotettu 3D tarrapaloilla pohjasta.

Haasteessa on vierailevina sponsoreina Ike's Art ja The Stamping Boutique. Palkintoja on runsaasti niin Ike's Artin, The Stamping Boutiquen, Creative Bug Digital SnapShotsin kuin Décosse's Dynamite Doodlesin puolesta. Kannattaa siis pistäytyä Path of Positivity -haasteblogissa ja katsastaa myös design teamin jäsenten inspiroivat työt.

Osallistun kortillani seuraaviin haasteisiin:
Ants in my Pantry Challenge #10 "Anything goes"
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #19 "Anything goes"

  1. I'm so happy you joined us this month at PoP! Your card is beautiful and I agree, that is the perfect quote for the image. It is amazing how a skater can have the ugliest fall and then get up and move on so gracefully!
