Hi there!
It is my first time creating a challenge in one of my favorite memory documenting formats, Traveler's Notebooks. It is not secret, i love TNs, and keep a daily visual journal of my everyday life, plus a few other side projects -all in TN formats-. I love the format as it allows me to combine the graphic look of a scrapbook page, and the journal look of my dairies.
By now, some of you are receiving the Pleasant Valley Kits (aren't they gorgeous?!!!), well this month two new sets of stamps were also added to the store, Spencer Alphabet and Spencer Alphabet outline. I love the large font and clear look of the alphas, so i decided to used them to document some every day memories in my personal journal.
For the first entry, i decided first on a color combination that will make everything pop. Then i used the Spencer Alpha stamp set to create the large title of this layout.
The impact of the title makes it one of the focus of the page, so i made sure that it told the story of the picture.
Love the colors in this month's Pleasant Valley PL kit, so it was easy to stay in the same color combo when adding the clusters around the picture. To finish this page, i added a few more stamping sentiments using the TN stamp set. Any clues on what the challenge is, yet? Let me give you another hint.
For this page, I chose to tell the story by using the Spencer Alpha Outline Stamp set to create a large title.
To bring life into the page, stamped the title on different papers from the Pleasant Valley Scrapbook Kit, and then fussy cut around them, the font is so clean and crisp that it took no time to get this done.
The letters were then glued to form the large title, and this time i added stamped sentiments using this month's add-on stamp set.
How lucky was i to find a few sunglassed in the puffy stickers from the Goldenrot collection, included in this month's embellishment kit, they complete my title. Since the story is told in the title, i just used one of the labels, from the Emerson collection stickers included in the main kit, and used it to hide the rest of the journal in a pocket behind the picture.
By now you have guessed this week's challenge: CREATE A LARGE TITLE. Use stamps, alphas, paper or the Spencer Alpha stamp sets to create titles that will tell the story of your page and create lots of impact on your pages. Trust me it, once you build the title, 80% of your page is done. So you will be able to produce them in no time!
Remember to share with us what you create with this challenge either on social media using @citrustwistkits or #citrustwistkits or on CTK friends page on Facebook. I cannot wait how you interprete the challenge.
