I had to go to a “slang” website to find the perfect word that described me! Thank you, Beth!

Can I just check - when you say use 10 elements - can you use those 10 elements multiple times in your layout? Thanks

 

[letsscrap]

Love how you've blended and used other LBS products to complete this Debbie!

Thanks so much. I had a lot of fun working on this one. I started out with a different word but when I saw "Grandma Hug" I knew I had a better word

My layout for the GDSO 2025 Showstopper Week 1 Showstopper Challenge

My font was Hattenschweiler
Papers :- 2 for backgrounds and one to fill in the letters in my word.
My 10 elements are :-
2 types of stitching
2 different styles of leaf
1 button
1 paint splatter
2 different flowers
2 pieces of ephemera

@tillykaye - your large letter is the one that is supposed to be decorated, which is what I meant when I said decorate this letter to be the "focal point". But maybe that doesn't translate well. Also, the word is supposed to start with the first letter of your name. I 'assumed' your name was Tilly, but you know what they say about assumptions....LOL I need you to do a bit more work on this before it meets the requirements....sorry about that. Let me know if you have any questions.

@Jenazs Janet, the word on your page isn't supposed to be your name....it's suppose to be an adjective that describes a part of your personality that starts with the same letter as your name (like jumpy, jolly, jovial, jobless....etc., etc.). Let me know if you have any questions.

i UPDATED THE WORD. DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE? THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW
