Happy Thanksgiving to those of us celebrating it this week! And, to everyone else… Happy Week! *grin*

Since it is a holiday this week for many of us, I’ve kept this week’s challenge simple: Think ONE... one layout, one photo, using a one-word title and one "themed" font for your title. Choose that one word that sets the stage for your story and choose a font that complements your title theme.

I created two examples this week… both are quirky photos that my kids didn’t really want me to scrap, let alone post. But, I made a deal with them: I’d post both layouts so they’d both be embarrassed! (Does that make me a bad mommy?) hahahaha

On Derek’s layout, the first word that came to mind for me was "guns"... an obvious one-word title choice. And, for some reason, at the same time, I was thinking of the original Thanksgiving so I picked an "historic" font for my title: Jane Austen (from dafont.com). I actually loved the contradiction of modern vs. historic times and the way the font’s "g" frames the corner of the photo.

For Shannon’s layout, I think you can see where I got this one-word title! What a photo, huh? *wink* I chose Kelly Purkey’s SP Cranky Pants (from scrapsupply.com) for the title because it was named so perfectly, it’s a playful font (and I am teasing Shannon here!) and that "O" has such… well… emotion to it!

So, can you join in this week? It’s only ONE! *grin* And, remember to post your layouts in the Designer Digitals "Just My Type" gallery. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Enjoy! Happy Turkey Day
