December 2019: Life Begins Challenge

Welcome to the Life Begins Challenge this December 2019.

Please make a layout using both Yellowtail and Lato. Please do not use any additional fonts.

Lato is just an incredibly versatile font with 18 weights and has never, ever let me down. I am aware of its spacing issues in some weights with the capital letter I in conjunction with S and F and some other letters but we can always fix that. Nonetheless, I love Lato. Raleway does not have these issues and is quite similar but Lato is way more versatile than Raleway. And if that isn't enough: Just compare Lato's small 'g' to Raleway's small 'g'.

Please share your layout here in the forum and in the gallery. Here is a fantastic tutorial on how to do that. Many thanks to moderator Shawna Adkerson for providing this tutorial. Your layout can be any sort of layout, a piece of wall art, a scrapbook page, a traveler page, a journal page, a card, a bookmark, a recipe card, a scripture index card, a calendar page. Anything. It does not have to be a digital layout either.

I have made a page with Yellowtail (bath time) and Lato (rest). I also used Elif's glass style on the title and Brooke's watercolor style on one of the papers, rest by myself.

Here are 2 more with Yellowtail and Lato and my February 2020 PSBT contribution, template by myself.

This one is with styles and patterns only. I used Sheila's Vintage Paper Style, Elif's Crumpled Style, Elif's Leather Style and Vintage StylePack14 by designTNT on this one:

smiley Please, also credit the graphics you have used for your page in the gallery and do mention the designer's name of a template or an element, such as a flower or a paper, you are using if attribution is not an option. Many thanks! smiley

And before I forget, please smiley support my feature request for the gallery and vote here.

I have a question..... are we allowed to use another font for journaling?

smiley I cannot wait to see which one you'll pick, Anne-Marie!
I think the two do well with anything 'motion', leisure, sports, kids and so on.

I just re-read the instructions and I realise we cannot use another font at all. The given fonts are nice and I think might work for journaling.
