Saturday Special Nov15 – Create your own Word Art

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Hello everyone! Krista (sahlink) here for this week’s Saturday Special.

So are you ready for this week’s Saturday Special?
We are going to work on “Creating your own Word Art”!

I’m sure its a shocker that I would chose to do a challenge with word art. HA HA!! Why do I like to do this? It is such a great way to make your page your own and fill your page…yes. But the main reason for creating my own word art is: I like to give a simple photo or photos a more meaningful message than just what the actual event was about or when photograph was taken.

You will have the entire month to complete this challenge!! When you complete the challenge you will earn 1 point. If you use a newly released product from the Scrap Matters store on your challenge layout, you earn an additional point!! YES… 2 points!! AND my favorite layout at the end of the challenge will earn another point!

Here are some different options to try when creating word art:
- Chose a word or phrase that gives a feeling or message
- Chose different font styles. (some of my favorite fonts are: Traveling Typewriter, 1942 report, Century Gothic, Garamond, Jane Austen, Susie’s Hand, Perpetua & Impact)
- Have repetitive words on your layout.
- Try lower some of the opacity’s.
- Try different font colors

Be sure to put your creations in the gallery and link here as well.

Here are some examples for you:
