January 27 | One Little Word Welcome to day 27 of MOC 12 2024! In 2006, Ali Edwards began the tradition of choosing one word for herself each January. That concept has grown over the years and it is now pretty common to hear “what is your one little word for this year?” The idea is to pick a word to focus on, get curious about, implement into your daily life over the course of a year. In our case, in the spirit of Connections MOC 12, I would like you to pick one little word for you to connect with this year. How will it show up in your daily life, how will you let it guide you throughout the year. It is a fun experiment to live with, connect to, and think about a single word. The challenge is… 1. Pick a single word…display it prominently on your layout. Your page can include photos or be photoless. 2. In the spirit of connection…the letters in your word must be connected together somehow (either all letters touching, or connected by staples, washi, stitching etc.) 3. Include at least one line of journaling on how you plan to connect with your word this year. This is a great project for hybrid scrappers, you could make a planner page with your word, or a card, or a tag following the same rules stated above. Here is my page: Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Your page must be posted in three places: Uploaded to the TLP Gallery (not an outside hosting site). Posted in your page thread you created in the MOC Layouts Folder. You should have one post per completed challenge page. If you complete all 31 challenges, your thread should contain 31 posts. Please do not comment in the participants’ page threads so we can keep them clean. Posted in this thread. People can comment here if they wish. Your page must contain Lilypad product (pages with photos and font only do not count). Product from other stores will not be allowed for MOC; your pages must contain 100% Lilypad product (current or retired product from designers or guest designers presently selling at The Lilypad). I can’t wait to see everyone’s one little word!
Reserved for Q and A 1. Yes you can use a template as long as your word is prominently displayed 2. Yes you can use song lyrics, but a single word has to be prominently displayed and a line of journaling explaining how you’ll connect to it.
Here's my layout for this challenge. Thanks for posting early! 01_27 One Little Word by AlyciaIN posted Jan 27, 2024 at 12:46 AM
The sun peeking through the grayness is supposed to show I'm trying to be positive, but this is not a good day, as this layout shows. Not much connection with my "word of the year" today.
I had a different idea in mind last night. But "Finding Balance" by Lynn Grieveson changed my plans! It was THE PERFECT KIT. I love the results.
My word is Strength and I used part of the lyrics from Strength of the Heart, theme song to Enterprise and "Wrecking Ball" from Bruce Springsteen. https://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/day-27-word-strength.560553/
