NEW Word Art Challenge

 

Why Word Art?


Word art is such a wonderful addition to any scrapbook page—it can help convey emotion, set the tone, or tie all the elements of your layout together. Whether it’s a bold statement or a subtle accent, word art can turn your memories into something truly meaningful and eye-catching.

My name is Karen Schulz, and I am your host for the NEW Word Art Challenge at MyMemories.

What You Can Expect:  


Each month I will provide you with a new complimentary word art graphic to download. 


Your Challenge:


Your challenge is quite simple. You need to create a layout incorporating the word art into your page design, then post it in the challenge thread.

Your Reward:

  • You will inspire others by sharing your work.
  • You will be inspired by the work of others.
  • And, hey! You'll add a free word art graphic to your digi-stash!
I hope to see you in the challenge!

It's January, so this month's Word Art Graphic focused on new beginnings!
