* USE THE ALPHABET *

DateMonday, March 1, 2010 at 5:00AM

March already?! How the heck did that happen? I don't know about you, but my February just flew by, consumed mostly by compulsive Olympics watching and further attempts to shuffle things around my home. ;) 

Anyhow. Since March 2 is Read Across America Day (in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday), how about a challenge that deals with something essential to reading...the alphabet? Yup, for this challenge, just use the alphabet. You can interpret that any way you want. Use a single letter. Use them all. Go crazy. ;) Sometimes, though, it's simply having a starting place that leads us to the best journaling and layouts. 

Here, then, are our takes...

Marti: 


Lisa:

Jen:


Me (Amanda):

Tania: 

Sherry:

Wow. Who knew the alphabet could be so fun? ;) We hope you'll join us in this challenge and would love to see your take. Please link us to your layout in the comments of this post. (Even if you don't do a layout, btw, we'd love to hear any thoughts or stories you'd like to share! We love comments!) Thanks!

Don't forget to check back for the stories behind these layouts in the coming days...

I'm playing catch up after the holidays with your challenges. Here is a layout for the last one to not use any pictures. http://abriellenefffoundation.blogspot.com/2010/03/3-wishes.html
I love what everyone here has been doing to keep us inspired to work in our albums! Thanks ladies!

Here's my lo for this challenge. http://abriellenefffoundation.blogspot.com/2010/03/signs-from-heaven.html

The story itself is shared earlier in my blog, but basically, my 2 year old drew the letter A on the magna doodle one night while she told me to watch.
