Now it is time to announce our DT Delights from this challenge. As always, in each challenge you, the readers, get to voice your opinion by voting for your favourite and so it is only fitting that my Design Team get to do so as well.

Thanks to the people who took the time to join along our Path during the month of October for Challenge #73. Out of the 11 entries linked up, check out the ones that really caught our attention...

Carole--chosen by Suze…

Suze said this:
"My DT Delight is Carole (#02). I am a fan of autumn colours so I was drawn to this card. I particularly adore that beautiful border which frames the image beautifully."

Jennifer--chosen by Katrina…

Katrina had this to say:
"My DT Delight is Jennifer (#10). There is so much beauty in this creation; but even more so, I am uplifted by the beauty coming from a difficult journey! This lovely piece shows courage, strength, and charm!"

Ch. #73 Top Picks: Voting Open Nov. 11 to Nov. 18, 2019

WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE #73 POP TOP!

Hello folks!  I hope that your Path this past week has had lots of positive moments along the route. Before I get on with today's post, I just wanted to say a special thanks to the many people who have had the courage to stand up and fight for their countries. Our theme this month on the Path of Positivity is all about courage and there are no braver than the people who risk their lives so that others may live. As I write this, it is November 11th. A day that should always be remembered.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918, the battlefields drew quiet as the hostilities ceased. Thus bringing an end to World War I. Each of us living in Commonwealth countries around the world, should take a moment today to remember and honour those who have bravely fought in ALL wars to help keep the peace and keep us safe.

Now it is time to present the top picks from the last challenge. Sadly, we only had 11 entries in Challenge #73 (click HERE to see the original challenge). For the first time this year we don't have enough entries to have a Top Seven but we did have enough people participate that we can have a Top Three. As such, it is time to get on with showcasing the three projects and/or write-ups that touched the team the most.

Thus, without further ado, please let me introduce you to the Top Picks for Challenge #73…

Congrats Ladies... 

As a participant who has been chosen as a Top Pick in this challenge, 

you are entitled to a special Challenge #73 Top Pick Badge.

Please feel free to grab a copy for your blog...

 

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Now the really hard work starts. It is time for you, our readers, to vote for your favourite entry. Which participant most inspires you? Remember, you are not necessarily voting on a creation that was made. You might simply find what the person had to say in their post to be inspiring and optimistic. Please be sure to go and check out the entries first and not just make your choices off of the thumbnails. Then, let us know who your favourite choice is by placing your vote below using the Linky Tools feature. Once you have made your decision, why not go back and let them know how they inspired you.

 Good luck everyone!

Voting open for 7 days:
