JANUARY 22: Title IN a Shape
Hi everyone!
Welcome to the MOC 9 January 22nd challenge! I’m excited to be hosting it and I hope you have lots of fun!
Today’s challenge is all about your title. I love a good title but instead of doing it the usual way I thought it would be fun to mix things up …. and get you to do your title IN a SHAPE instead.
Now, to make things MUCH easier for you, our wonderful and talented Liz has made this template pack of handy, dandy shapes to use for this challenge.
I want you to use one of THESE shape templates on your page, no other shapes please.
All you need to do is simply clip your alphabet pieces to the shape template that you have selected and voila!
I used the same paper as my background paper to clip under the letters so it all blended in nicely and now all you can see are the letters. The LETTERS should make the template shape clearly visible so just filling it with a contrasting paper to give it shape and then adding a title to it will not work for this challenge.
Please use the title to FILL the shape, make the letters be your shape. Text around the outside of a shape does not meet the requirements of the challenge.
I would like to see the title as the star of the page but other than being IN one of the shapes provided there are no other limits as to what else you can include on your page. But please ensure that the title shape can be easily identified.
Here is a page that I have created to give you an idea of what is expected to successfully complete this challenge
And here is a fabulous Challenge page by Carol @Iowan
, love this big, bold arrow title!
What about this cutie by Cynthia?
AND
how about this great page by Karen @Karen ! Now you MIGHT think this violated this clause "The LETTERS should make the template shape clearly visible so just filling it with a contrasting paper to give it shape and then adding a title to it will not work for this challenge" BUT Karen has made the title fit into the shape perfectly so that even if the contrasting background wasn't there you can CLEARLY see the shape is a puzzle piece! She did this by dragging and smooching the letters to fit! I think its great!
I hope you have fun with this challenge!
Challenge Requirements:
