One Word

Here's one for ya from 2peas...

Sometimes it's hard to come up with a title. I know I can struggle. When I hit a roadblock I look at the photo. What does it say to me....in one word.

This week I want to challenge you to make a layout with a one word title.

You might think one word doesn't say enough. But it can. Besides, you have the journaling to explain the title. The one word can be a description of what you see. What you feel. An action. An emotion. A noun. A verb. Anything goes of course!

Color Challenge

With May flowers blooming it seems appropriate to do some flowery colors. Let's see something using pinks and purples.



And here's some DT inspiration for you...

Whitespace

Do a LO using white or negative space.

from Wikipedia...
White space should not be considered merely 'blank' space - it is an important element of design which enables the objects in it to exist at all, the balance between positive (or none-white) and the use of negative spaces is key to aesthetic composition.

Happy Mother's Day!

Well in honor of me having the entire day free of kids to do whatever I want, let's scrap about something you love doing - non kid related!!
Have a great day!

Lyric

Use some of the lyrics from U2s Some Days on your LO. It can be the title, journaling or just a quote.

Some Days

Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor

Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others

Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others

Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy

Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others

Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Trends & Techniques

Make a LO or project using the trend of cute critters and the technique of stitching. Hand stitching or machine is fine.
