marcy's cha challenge

Hello everyone!  Hope you're enjoying our challenges for you this week!

I'll be the first to admit that it's hard for me to think outside the box.  I usually start scrapbooking and glue stuff down.  Then before I know it my page is done and I didn't try something new!  So today I want to challenge you to use letter stickers for something other than a title.  Try using them more as a design element than an actual header.

For my page I decided to run written numbers across the bottom of my page.  (I was super lucky that they fit perfectly).  I highlighted my daughter's age by using a different color of alpha for "eleven".

Here are some close-ups:

Be sure to link your layouts back here to this post... and come back tomorrow for another challenge from Kimberly.

I made a little collage out of my left over alphas stickers... you know, all the 'x' and 'z' that you know you'll never use?! It's sort of like patterned paper but with texture.
You can see what I mean here:
