Prompt 18: Altered Alphas

Welcome to Altered Alphas!!! You know here we're easy-peasy so I'll keep it short and sweet. Your challenge [should you choose to accept] is to get those alphas out, and freak 'em out: beat 'em, paint, poke 'em, glitter them - the only rule is to have FUN, and link us up!!!

I'd like to welcome our SUPER fabulous and creative guest designer: Julie Fei-Fan Balzer!!! This is one seriously talented girlie, and she doesn't limit herself to just scrapbooking. Seriously, if you haven't checked out her blog before, go there now--and be prepared for all sorts of crazy inspiration!!

Hi! I'm Julie. I go by "milk can" on most message boards. I tend to focus on the every day with pages that lean towards heavy journaling and lots of paint! I love art that looks handmade - lots of tearing and inking and handwriting and hand cutting. I'm also a technique and tool junkie, always trying to find a way to push my supplies further and see all the possibilities. Thanks for inviting me! This was tons of fun!

She was the perfect person to guest design for this prompt: check out this gorgeous piece of ART:

I bet you wanna know what the prize is for Prompt 18?! It's a kit from my class "Fun with Letters" (valued at $20.00) which was the inspiration behind this Prompt!

You'll get all kinds of supplies like paint, Pixie Stix glitter, Sharpie markers, duct tape, felt etc. to play, play, play with Hiedi Swapp chipboard letters! In this kit are instructions to make the following layouts. All of the letters are from the SAME package but altered in different ways.

But you don't have to create these layouts - you can create whatever you want! We would LOVE to see what the winner of this Prompt does with this prize!

Happy Scrapping!

I'm super excited to share our latest fabulous guest designer: Jenny Chesnick!! You may know her as Mrs. Chez, and you're sure to recognize her clean, graphic style infused with humor!So a little ditty about Chezzo, Chezburger or Chezolicous as some folks like to call me! My name is actually Jen (yes I have a real name!) I am a California native who has been transplanted to the east, Maryland currently. I began scrappin about 3 years ago. I am a complete addict. I love to create and get a bit grouchy when I don't have the time! I like clean and well placed layouts. I don't really do grunge or vintage. I call that dirty scrappin! I'm a online junkie and a facebook obsessor. I currently run the Design Team for ScrapGal.com. Thanks to the girls here for having me, I enjoyed this prompt! -
Thanks for joining us, Chez! Here's how she rocked it...

prompt #16

Welcome to prompt #16. This prompt is one of the most fun ones yet! Here at The Creative Type we looooove all the fonty-goodness out there in the world but let's face it, there's nothing quite like our own handwriting..... So for kicks and giggles this week we're all about our 'own font'.

The challenge is easy: add a bunch of your own handwriting to your layout - make it stand-out, front and center! complete a fun handwriting analysis and let us know what your handwriting says about YOU!

Here are some great links that Judean found:

link us up in here by the 17th to win a 20 dollar gift certificate from the fantabulous Stephanie Wheeler @ The Living Room Floor
