Nicole's Challenge

Happy Monday!  It's Nicole S. here with the weekly challenge for you!  Take a look and listen...

Okay, so the challenge is to USE YOUR WORDS!  Grab some larger alpha stickers or rubons or chipboard and use them as a central design element on your page.  Make a super long, big title...journal in a larger than normal font...make a background of all words.  Whatever you do, USE YOUR WORDS!  And use them BIG!  Here's another look at my page.
Supplies:  Candy Shoppe kit, patterned paper:  Countryside Wildflower; Mister Huey's Classic White, rub-ons:  Alpha Red, Alpha Blue:  adhesive: foam tab squares
 
If you'd like to play along, just leave a comment on this blog post with a link to your page by next Monday, February 28.  You'll have a shot at winning a $5 Studio Calico gift certificate to use in the shop!  Can't wait to see your creations!

It was hard for me to do this cuz I'm not very good at even journaling on my pages. So this was a challenge. I just stuck them on w/o even worrying about how it'd look. lol! http://www.studiocalico.com/forums/galleries/show/37677

&& i just wanted to say that i love the theme for this. i say "use your words" frequently, and people always think it's a silly thing to say. :]

[Natalie Elphinstone]

Great challenge!
I've tried to make the title one of the main features of my page, and also used lots of letters for embellishments too!
