Welcome to the August Challenges! I'm your hostess, Vicky Whittemore. If you are like me, you like to begin at the top of the list and work your way through! So, let's get started with the first challenge of the month.....ONE WORD. I actually have two words, but you will only be using one of them, depending on where you live.....Northern or Southern Hemisphere.
The words are.....WINTER and SUMMER. Now, read the instructions carefully because I know where your mind is going already, because mine automatically went there, too!

DIRECTIONS:
Your challenge for this month is this.....
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere you will use the word, WINTER, in BIG (LARGE and in charge) letters somewhere on your page (or a form of the word such as WINTRY, WINTERTIME, WINTERY).
If you live in the Southern Hemisphere you will use the word, SUMMER, in BIG (LARGE and in charge) letters somewhere on your page (or a form of the word such as SUMMERY, SUMMERTIME).
You may scrap in any style or size you choose. You may use pictures or not, the choice is yours.
No templates or quick pages, please!
Here is my sample page. Credits are in the gallery.
RULES:
- Northern Hemisphere - use WINTER prominently on your page.....Southern Hemisphere - use SUMMER prominently on your page. See directions above for further instructions.
