Digi Dare #166

Written by Christine on February 4th, 2010

Hey scrappers!  Christine here bringing you this week’s Digi Dare!  I don’t know about you, but I’ve been working a lot of hours at my full-time job and feeling uninspired.  It was so awesome to go through your submissions for Dare #165 and read your journaling!

So let’s get to last week’s winners!

Here’s my pick from the entries for last week’s dare.

Olivia’s “Dream Big”!

This was such a well-balanced composition and my eyes were immediately drawn to the corners and the journaling in the middle.  Great job!

My random pick winner is Selena with her layout “The Photo Not Taken”.

Please email us at digidares at gmail dot com to claim your prize!

Our sponsor this week is the awesome Elizabeth Reiber!

She’s known as Fizzy Pop Designs and she has some pretty darn awesome templates at Catscrap!  Everyone who participates in this week’s dare will receive a 30% off coupon to the Fizzy Pop Designs store!

Now it’s time for this week’s challenge!

Your One Word!

Many scrappers have adopted the concept of the “one little word” for each year. This is the one word that each person chooses to focus on in her life for one year. Ali Edwards started her annual tradition in 2007. There is even a challenge blog (now closed) focused on this concept of the “one little word”.
I’d like you to choose a word and scrap your page with *LARGE* type as the main design element of your page.

Dare Flares:

-Use a thick chunky font and make your one word HUGE.
-Use at least one photo and fit it into your word in a creative way.
-Use at least three colors on your layout.
-Incorporate journaling on why you chose that word and its importance to you.

Some inspiration from the Dare team…
