Alphabet Medley

by Trish Dykes (Sep 29, 2004)

Take a peek in my scrapbook room and you will see a blue three-ring binder overflowing with my alphabet sticker collection. I have hundreds of them and am becoming more addicted as companies like Creative Imaginations, Doodlebug and KI Memories introduce new ones each year. Does this sound like you?

Personally, I like the instant gratification of peel and stick. The process seems so much quicker than fighting with my printer to get a title just right. With all the styles and colors of stickers available, their versatility is unmatched by any other product. Here are some fresh ideas to get your stickers out of their hiding place and onto your layouts.

Mix and Match. If you don't have all the letters that you need from a single sheet, blend several different styles or colors together to spell out your title.

Create Dimension. Change the letter heights by adhering a few of the letters from a word on pop-dots or buttons. You could also put a clear page pebble over the top of a letter sticker.

Emphasize Important Words. Use several sizes of stickers in various styles to place emphasis on words showing expression, action or special importance to the layout. (see layout example)

Make Shadow Letters. Lightly adhere an alphabet sticker to your page, then paint, ink or chalk over the letter. When you remove the sticker, you'll have a clean outline of the letter left behind in the color of the paper.

Substitute Letters. Depending on the style of font, you may be able to use an extra "u" sticker as an "n" or a "1" as an "l". An "h" upside down might be the "y" you were looking for. A "w" can be flipped to make an "m", a "q" makes a great "b" and a "p" can be substituted for a "d".
