I got way behind the 8-ball this week, so this week’s challenge is simple and wide-open for your interpretation and creativity!

Your challenge: SUBSTITUTION… use a decorative element in lieu of a letter or word. There are endless possibilities here, but you need to make sure your chosen element supports your theme or it will look awkward and out of place!

As you can see, I’ve simply used a glitter heart instead of the word “love” in my title. Taking the “substitution factor” one step further, I used a simple “u” instead of the entire word “you”. Another idea I had for this layout, but didn’t use was to include a soccer ball in place of the “o” in the word “soccer”... I just couldn’t come up with a clever title! LOL

Some ideas to start you off… you can replace the letter “a” with a star, “o” with any kind of ball or circular element (flowers are cute!), “t” with branches or a tree. You could use a needle or pin in lieu of an “i” or “l” on a sewing layout. Or one of those clever portholes from Katie in place of an “o” on a sailing or beach layout. And, don’t stop at the title… you could replace words in journaling with a simple element. Think of flowers for every time you talk about the “flowers” or a cute felt bird instead of typing the whole word. There really are TONS of possibilities to be had!

So, let’s see your “substitution” layout this week! Remember to post your layout in the “Just My Type” gallery at DD! Can’t wait to see how creative you get!
