I must admit that even with the beautiful example, I struggled a bit with this challenge. I just wasn't quite certain what it meant. What is an "Unexpected Title", anyway? So, I decided to make it my own, since there are no rules in scrapbooking. I could make the challenge mean what I wanted it to mean! So I thought about it this way. What kind of title would you expect from me? Something with Thickers, probably. And on a page about Splash Mountain, you would probably expect something like a title about water, splashing, or something wet. Well, not on this one. I decided to go for unexpected all around. I cut letters for my title free hand, something I have not done yet, but I have seen Becky Novacek do it beautifully, and I have wanted to try it.
I think I like how it turned out! It was fun to do, and I'll probably try it again-I think I will try it with 6x6 pads, since I think it would be a fun technique with pattern mixing like Becky did.
Love love love this! LOVING the colors and the title work!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors and papers that you chose for this photograph. Your hand cut letters are terrific and I think the inking finishes it off beautifully. Love the heart in the "A"!
ReplyDeleteLove this LO & your title letters. They match the title on the Splash photo so well. Your wood grain background paper is perfect for that ride. Very nice LO!
ReplyDeletea fabulous take on this challenge - love it!
ReplyDeleteI am like you - take away my Thickers option, and I am lost on titles. Nice job though, and I like the two different size tags as well. Great page.
ReplyDeleteReally FAB change-up on your expected title treatment! Love that you stretched it to include consideration of the subject of the layout - that would not have occurred to me :-)
ReplyDeleteThis challenge had me stumped! Hand cutting letters for your title was a great take. Loving that navy, white and turquoise patterned paper on your layout.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost exclusive on Thickers or Mini Markets so this will be a challenge for me - but if you can make such a fabulous layout without Thickers, then you give me hope that maybe I can too!
