Week #4 Weekly Challenge!

Welcome to Week #4's Weekly Challenge! This week, let's focus on trying something new with a title. Most titles run horizontally across a page because that's the way we read, but let's mix it up this week and try running a title vertically across a layout and see what kind of punch we can pack.

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Run your title vertically across a layout! WEEK #4 CHALLENGE FOLDER.All layouts much be uploaded by 9:00 a.m. CST on Monday, February 1st.

Below are a few examples of a vertical title-work from our talented Baristas:

THE PRIZE: Our prize this week has a bit more masculine look and feel and features papers and rub-ons from Glitz Designs, along with additional coordinating embellishments from Scrapworks, Maya Road and My Mind's Eye. Cool and trendy!


CHALLENGE RULES:There are only 2 rules if you want to enter a weekly challenge:
1.) Your submission has to be a new layout created for this challenge. :) You're on your honor here, but the idea of a Weekly Challenge is to finish new layouts and not simply upload old layouts. :) (Your actual layouts can be done in any size - 12x12, 8.5x11, 8x8... whichever size you scrapbook in!
