THE PATH OF POSITIVITY ART CHALLENGE

 THEME: EMBRACING THE UNECPECTED THROUGH DECLUTTERING

This Spring I got the Flu and was down for two weeks! The thing is about being sick in the Spring, when you get well, you really, really want to Spring Clean! One of my friends gave me a huge plastic tub full of scrap for Mixed Media and Junk Journal Projects!  As I was going through it to organize everything, I started finding things that I thought I could use for this Challenge! 

Over at the Gecko Galz Facebook Group, they have posted an Aperture Challenge. I have never made an Aperture Card before and was not going to enter the Challenge because I did not think I would have what I needed to create the card. I started decluttering my stash and found exactly what I could use and so I was happy to create the Aperture Card!! 

Thank you for the Challenge Enbracing The Unexpected!!! A healthy declutter led to me creating something I had never created before!!!  And I learned a new craft!

It is good to Embrace The Unexpected!! You can have the opportunity to grow in ways you never thought possible! 

Here I what I created while 

Embracing The Declutter!!

I am also going to link this to the Aperture Challenge at the Gecko Galz Facebook Group!!

This card was made with images from Gecko Galz Digital Collage Sheet Easter Bunnies, and the embellishments I used for the card, I found while decluttering my stash!

 THEME:  EMBRACING THE UNEXPECTED

MAKE A CREATIVE PROJECT YOU WOULDN'T NORMALLY MAKE

I don't ordinarily create cards but when I saw the free image for the Card Challenge at Gecko Galz, I had to give it a try! 

I learned that creating something new in a different genre can wake up, or re-charge my creativity. It is good to open my mind up to new ideas and techniques as all artists can get in a creative rut. We make the same things with the same techniques to "play it safe" with our creativity and forget that we need to be creating outside of the box to grow to be the artist we aspire to be. 

Pushing the boundaries of our creativity takes creating something we would never have created before! I was pleasantly surprised at the results of my cardmaking and have decided to continue to create more of them in the future!!

***I am also entering this Card in the Gecko Galz March Monthly Card Challenge***

THEME: BE INSPIRED BY AN UNEXPECTED EVENT IN YOUR PAST

Maya Angelo Quotes

In the journey of life, the unexpected is the compass guiding us to extraordinary destinations!

Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst, and unsurprised by anything in-between.

Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm. When we look at each other, we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than unalike.

Because of our routines, we forget that life is an ongoing adventure.

We can only know where we are going if we know where we have been.

This is a wonderful day! I have never seen this one before!

It is strange, but true, that the most important turning points in life often come at the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected ways.

We must stop regarding unpleasant or unexpected things as interruptions of real life. The truth is that interruptions are real life.
