Challenge Spotlight – Word Art Challenge

Hey y’all! How is everyone’s week going? I am simply EXHAUSTED. This weekend just flew by with all the green festivities–so glad this week is my spring break because I am in dire need of letting my brain get some rest! I do plan on getting some scrapping done this week, too and what better place to start than with a challenge?!

This week I am spotlighting a fun little challenge that comes with a freebie: the word art challenge hosted by Bekah of Bekah E Designs! I really like the cute freebie WA Bekah has created for us to work with this month; take a look!

I love mixing script and block fonts when I do my own title work, the contrast is always so pretty and lends itself to all kinds of layouts, so you can safely assume I like this WA. I guess I’m not the only who likes it, because we’ve already got several pages posted in the forum using it! In need of some inspiration? Here you go…

I picked these three so you could see the different techniques that have been used with this one WA: layering in papers, flooding in colors and keeping it as-is! Of course, they’re all beautiful and coordinate perfectly! Do you love versatile word art as much as I do? These layouts are gorgeous, ladies! Make sure you take a second to leave them some love in the gallery.

The month is coming to a close soon–just under two weeks and we’ll be in April…EEK! Don’t forget to get your challenges tallied up in the March Challenge Points Tracking thread. You’ll want to make sure you get credit for all your completed challenges so you can snag a nifty reward at the end of the month.

That’s it for me–see y’all next week!

Fresh Baked: New Designer

Good morning! I hope that your Monday won’t be too hectic. If it is, maybe this will bring a smile to your face!

We have a new designer joining the team! Bekah, of Bekah E Designs!

We asked, as always, for Bekah to tell us a little about herself, and this what she had to share:

I have been married to my teenage sweetheart for 19 years. We live in the Great Northwest with our 3 beautiful children.
I originally discovered digital scrapbooking through a Christian mom’s forum that I was a member of. Some of the mom’s in the forum would share these beautiful decorative pages with photos on them. (I later found out they called them, “layouts”). I thought these “layouts” were so amazing and started doing some research on the internet which led me to purchase my very first digital scrapbooking software.

I had found a new creative outlet and I was totally hooked! And so, in order to feed my new found obsession, I joined a few digital scrapbooking forums and immediately joined in on as many of the forum challenges as I could. I later started designing my own digital word art and offering freebies on my blog and at the end of 2008 was asked to join the design team of a new digital scrapbooking store that would soon be opening.

I am a self taught Photoshop junkie and have dabbled a bit in Illustrator as well. When I am not designing I enjoy, hand crafting my own paper and fabric flowers, crocheting, and spending quality time with my family.

I’m excited to see some of her other projects, and not just her scrap designs!!

Here are just a few of the items that she has in her store for you:
