Every Friday we’re going to issue a challenge and we hope you’ll play along! To close Thickers week with a bang, we’ll be giving away some of our favorites in a Thickers Prize Pack to this week’s winner.
Here’s a layout from Design Team member Doris to help you get some inspiration...
To be qualified to win:
1. The layout must be posted to an online gallery or blog listing the American Crafts + the name of the Thickers in the supply list. (Example - for this layout she would write “Supplies - American Crafts Rockabye, Text, and Tiara Thickers”)
2. You must leave a comment on this blog post with a link to your layout online. You also must fill in your email address when posting your comment on this blog post.
3. Layouts and links must be posted by midnight PST on Thursday, March 26.
Happy scrapping and good luck!
Oooh Doris, I love this page! SO cute. :)

I love my thickers, but I'm working away from home now so I'm nowhere near them :(
I was hoping to ask though, is there any chance of mini thickers? Thickers maybe half the size of most of the current ones? I love all of my big thickers (and trust me I must have at least 50 packs, but I often find I want a smaller thick sticker :)
Posted by: Fifi-T | Friday, March 20, 2009 at 08:44 AM
hi KP and crew -
fun challenge! I have a question for you - what font did you use for the "thickers week challenge"? It's fabulous. So are your thickers!
Posted by: elise | Friday, March 20, 2009 at 09:40 AM
Hi there, Fifi-T!
We had the same question about smaller Thickers yesterday on Twitter as well :) We will likely do more small Thickers or even smaller ones in the future.
In the meantime, have you seen the new Rockabye Thickers? They are smaller than other sets and perfect for spelling out those extra long titles :)
Posted by: Kelly - AC Studio Blog Hostess | Friday, March 20, 2009 at 10:20 AM
Hello, Elise!
The font used is called Metroscript and can be purchased at Veer.com
Would be a nice script for addressing your upcoming wedding invitations, right? ;)

this page is fantastic!
What an awesome idea for a challenge!
Can't wait to see what everyone creates :)

Posted by: Erin | Friday, March 20, 2009 at 04:19 PM
Hmmm...I just got in from Hobby Lobby where I bought 8 packages of Thickers! This may be a good time to accept a challenge since I've never participated in one before.

I just love Thickers!
Here is a layout I did of my daughter and her boyfriend that dated last year and are back together again this year - exactly one year apart and now they've been going out for 5 months this time.

more

Hi:) So funny with that layout, look what I made a couple of weeks ago:
http://ciliesverden.blogspot.com/2009/03/snikende-kanin-skjult-drage.html
In english, the title is "Crouching rabbit, hidden dragon" :) Just uses two types of thickers, so I know tis layout is not qualifying for the contest, but thought I should share it with you :)
Will try to make something for the contest as well.
And by the way, thank you so much for the Thickers storage solutions. I'm a total Thickers addicts, and would love to cover a whole wall with them (heyyyy, maybe I should :D ).

Here is the layout I did for this challenge. It is also on my blog. I title it "silly Me' because the photo show me being silly jumping up and down on one of those things at the mall.
"Silly Me"
Is a layout I did for the American Crafts- Thickers challenge. The supplies I used are as follow.
I used American Crafts' Travel Token Pattern paper for the background.
American Crafts' Chit Chat Tangerine Puffy Letter Stickers Thickers for the words "silly, me, and &".
American Crafts' Tinsel Foil Letter Stickers Thickers for the words "round and round".
American Crafts' Subway Foam Letter Stickers Thickers for the words "up and down".
I added yellow cardstock for background of the photos and I inked the edges of the cardstock with green ink. I added a circle chipboard which I painted with sunset orange Adirodack acrylic Paint. I then added arrows with black diamonds stickles to the orange circle.
I really love american Crafts' supplies and love those thickers a bunch. Here is the link for the layout.
