Digi-Dare #123

Written by Traci on March 6th, 2009

Hello darers!  Traci here with this week’s dare, but first, let’s figure out last week’s winners!

Our random winner is Tali with this super sweet layout!

And my choice is Alice..I can relate!!

Congratulations girls! Email us at thedigidares @ gmail . com for your prize!

This week, our fantastic sponsor is Angela Woo from We Are Storytellers!

Just for playing along with us this week, you’ll receive a 25% off coupon to Angela’s store!

Now on to this week’s Dare!

You – Right Now.
I’m always fascinated by Ali Edwards posts about her “right now”. She always takes such an in depth look into her life at the moment and you can see the joy (or sadness, anxiousness) reflected in her words. For your dare this week, I want you to describe YOUR (or hubby’s, children’s) “right now”. What do you love to do, what are your days filled with, what silly routines do you have that make your life yours?

Dare Flair:
You must list, with a little journaling, 5 things from the “Right Now”

Please include the words “right now” on your layout somewhere, in the journaling, title, background, anywhere

Design your layout on the edges, it can only be on two edges, any two edges you want, but it can reach no farther out to the middle of your page than 1/3 the width/height (so for a 12×12 all your design must stay within 4 inches to the edge)

Finally, please include some sort of representation of your right now, photographed or extracted on the page, i.e. if you’re obsessed with your blackberry right now, extract a photo of it (or a stock photo) and use it as an element, or use a photo of it on the page, be creative!
