Weekly challenge | Allison Waken & Celeste Vermeend

Hi! Allison and Celeste here today with your weekly challenge. This week we have a BIG challenge for you. Are you ready to accept the challenge? Go BIG with a big title. Titles can make a page or can be left out completely but we are challenging you to create a title that is large and in charge.

Quite often when I am scrapping I stick to the motto - less is more. I also try to keep the page about the photo. These generally seem to be guiding principles in most people's scrapbooking. I know these tend to make up my style. But occasionally in honour of changing this up a bit and trying new things I like to shake it up a bit and throw my guidebook out the window!

Going LARGE with a title can sometimes distract from your photo. But if you keep the title simple and direct it can be effective. In my case I kept the title to one simple word - which expresses directly what needs to be said. By overlapping the word onto the photo itself - the eye is drawn to Rylan's photo after reading the title. Perfect!

To create the word SKI - I simply cut the letters on my silhouette cameo and them used them as a mask. When I was finished and the mist was dry. I outlined the letters with a marker. The mist did take much longer to dry on the photo - but it was worth the wait!

With such a large title I deliberately kept the rest of the embellishments to a minimum and I also tried to cluster them together. Which isn't tricky for me - as I do this regularly!!

Allison created a Project Life insert from a recent vacation featuring a big title spread across 2 - 4x6" spaces. She also chose to go big with photos. Go big or go home right?
