Welcome to a new week! We’re kicking it off with a super fun Daily Dose challenge! This week we’re pulling inspiration from Kayleigh’s amazing layout on today’s Daily Dose Calendar page. Your challenge is to use a symbol in place of a word in your layout title.

Challenge Twenty-Three:
Use a symbol for a word in the title

When you think of all the shapes, stickers and brushes that are out there, the options are almost endless. Not only does this give you a chance to be clever on your page, but it also adds great interest to your layout. So get those creative juices flowing today and wow us with your layouts! Once your layout is complete, upload to the Daily Dose of Digital Gallery so we can all be inspired by your creations!

Need a jump start? No problem! Check out how three of our talented creative team members took on this challenge.
