DREAM. COME. TRUE.
Here is the link to see my writeup there (different info than here), and the other fabulous layouts showing four ways to add contrast in your titles: https://debbiehodge.com/2017/11/scrapbook-page-titles-with-contrast/

Needing to come up with a high contrasting title, I perused my fonts and settled upon the Game Over font. It's very pixelated, bulky, and shaded, and I knew it could contrast with just about anything. So I pulled out the old gaming stickers, found some photos of my husband playing (many, many hours) with the girls.
I picked the background paper because the circles reminded me of the way the interface of one of the games they all played together, Civilization, is laid out, showing the different territories. Technically they were laid out in hexagons, but I'm claiming artistic license on this one. LOL
So anyway, the circles seemed like a good place to house some clusters of embellishments, and then I got the idea to make little pie charts within some of the circles. They are symbolic of dividing up time between the different activities and games.
I wanted to use some of the empty circles to just list in a spiral a bunch of the different games they've played over the years, but that much black writing would have distracted too much from the title. So I stuck to one semicircle of journaling.
This layout was pure fun to make! I love the primary colors, the kid-like font and gamer font, the little bit of stitching to add texture, and all the cute embellishments.
