JUN16VSNA ~ Friday, June 17 - 5 pm EST ~ A MOTTO of Design ~ LuvLee
Challenge Title: A MOTTO of Design
Hostess: LuvLee (Lee)
Keyword: JUN16VSNA
Date: Friday, June 17 - 5 pm EST
Did you know the Olympics have an official Motto? Um sure, yeah me too. I soooo did. Ok then...well what is it? Yeah, I thought so. Me neither! ;)
The official motto is: Citius, Altius, Fortius, which is Latin for "Faster, Higher, Stronger."
It was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin upon the creation of the International Olympic Committee in 1894. Coubertin borrowed it from his friend Henri Didon, a Dominican priest who was an athletics enthusiast.
Coubertin said "These three words represent a programme of moral beauty. The aesthetics of sport are intangible." The motto was introduced in 1924 at the Olympic Games in Paris. A more informal but well known motto, also introduced by Coubertin, is "The most important thing is not to win but to take part!" Coubertin got this motto from a sermon by the Bishop of Pennsylvania during the 1908 London Games.
Now here's my challenge........use the initials C.A.F. in your design. Here are some examples:
C - cat, christmas, chalk, chevron, crimson
A - acetate, acrylic, antique, apple
F - flowers, faux technique, fox, fuchsia
You need to use all three initials somehow, more than once if you'd really like to challenge yourself!!
For my card I used:
C- Cherry and Crumb Cake Cardstock, Christmas stamps, Copic marker
A- Aqua ribbon, Aqua coloring on scarf
F- Frost - entire panel in glitter

Fun challenge! I knew of the Olympic motto, because my favorite events are difficult to judge by those things. You can measure how far a javelin is thrown; who reaches the finish line first. But Gymnastics, skating, diving not so much. My brother says those sports are nice, but shouldn't be Olympic...bah humbug! LOL

Welcome Sue! Love your card! I can't believe all the items you thought of for the letters!
Why was it so hard for me? Now I see all the items you and others thought of, and I think why didn't I think of them? LOL
