Now for this week’s dare.
We all know this old wedding adage … you may have even practiced it the day you said “I do!”
This week, we’re going to follow the same principle.
Dare Flair:
- Something Old: You must use something grungy or dirty or OLD looking
- Something New: You must use a product that you’ve never used before
- Something Borrowed: This one gets a bit tricky, but I want you to “borrow” an idea from another layout. Kind of like scraplifting without lifting the entire layout (ie: doing your title in a similar way or laying out your photos similarly)
- Something Blue: A little or a lot – there must be some BLUE on your layout!
PS: this does NOT have to be about weddings or marriage, but you get imaginary bonus points if it is!
