INSPIRATION | ALPHABETS

 

Hello, CTM Esther here!  So happy to be bringing you another blog this month.  This time, my post isn't a tutorial, it's all about providing some inspiration.  The focus of my inspiration is going to be alphas!
Now we all KNOW, that Mir, always has some  fantastic alphas in her collections  I love that she offers so many color options.  I also admit, that many times, I've very lazy and tend to NOT use them to the fullest of their creative purpose.  My lack of use alphas, actually inspired this blog post.

I started my layout with a background of my choice.  I then used the alphas from Pink Reptile Designs' "Just be Happy" Collection and I created all this word art for my background.


Once I created my initial word art that I wanted to use, I then added a drop shadow and started resizing and creating a word art pattern and landed with this design.


From here, I then added my photo and started really adding all the elements that I wanted to complete the look.  (I used the papers & elements from the "Just Be Happy" Collection.


Hopefully this inspires you to use the alphas for more than just word art to a page.  Use it to create messy alpha backgrounds or to create a word art background like I have done here.  Some other ideas: use them to fill in objects, add initials to a cluster.

Can't wait to see the different creative ways you use alphas in your layouts.
