We also like to include each week....a "title/quote/word/saying" challenge - you can either incorporate this into your sketch challenge layout ...... use it alone on your own layouts.....throw it away.....ctrl/alt/delete (!).....whatever works for you!!  For me, i can be inspired by a title of a layout i see in a magazine BEFORE i even LOOK at the actual design!!!  So, i thought this might be helpful for some!!!
