Word It! A Merkeley Designs Challenge

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Can you WORD IT?  The challenge is to pick at least 5 out of the 10 words below and use them creatively in your LO!

The words are:

family
love
happy
laugh
dream
grow
hope
sunshine
smile
learn

The catch:

You need to use a different font, alpha, wordart, flair, etc. for each word.

You must use at least 75% Merkeley Designs products and 100% Oscraps products

Easy?

Participation Prize would be WORD IT a new kit by Merkeley Designs PLUS one random participant will be drawn to win a $10 coupon to shop at the Merkeley Designs shop.

If you don’t want to join the Challenge, you can simply click on the image below and get it in the shop.

All you need to do is to post your LO at the July Word It Challenge thread over at Oscraps.  You need to register to Oscraps first, if you haven’t already done so.

Here’s my take for the challenge.
