Quite often on scrapbook pages, the title is a separate element, set apart from the journaling. This week's challenge is to rethink that approach: work in a title seamlessly by making it part of the journaling.
I did just that in a layout about my daughter's keynote speech at her school's annual mother/daughter luncheon. I incorporated the entire speech on this page, calling attention to the line that the audience seemed to enjoy the most:
Rather than being an independent page element, the title, composed of Mini Market stickers, is nestled in the midst of the journaling and is pulled from the journaling itself.
I also created a sweet little patterned garland by punching circles from Farmhouse papers, cutting segments from them, mixing and matching them, and piecing them back together.
I also included a few papers from the new Here & Now Chapter sheets.
Although you can't see the B-sides in this image, trust me on this -- they are wonderful!
Lexi joined me for this week's challenge, and oh, she did me proud:
She merged her title and journaling alongside one of the cutest photos that I have ever beheld! I am also crazy about how she incorporated the OA fabric on her layout.
Not only did we both use an 8.5" x 11" format, but we also both used B-sides of the Here & Now chapter sheets on our layouts.
We'd love to see your take on this challenge! Be sure to post your layouts in our Flickr gallery.
Have a terrific week!

I mixed and matched 5&Dime with Boarding Pass.
