Lettering Trick

I've got the scrappin' bug big time lately! Again with the grandson here. What can I say? My teenage son rarely even lets me take a photo, much less one with him SMILING. Sheesh! Anyway, Jeremy and his grandpa(papa) are both fanatical about trains, so I know they will love this.I wanted to show you the title in detail. I made the letters look like a railroad track(I believe). What I did was put rubber bands around foam stamps, then ink and stamp.

Vanessa...you are so clever with those letters. They are fab and look just like railroad tracks. Great layout. I really should do some scrapbooking but have a major block when trying. Love that train picture.

Cute page and fantastic effect on the title. That looks great and really goes perfectly with the mood of the photos. Nice idea.

Kate, Audrey, Donna, and Lisa. Thank you for your positive comments. And Audrey, I have major blocks when I try to do mixed media collages. I like it when I work on them, but it takes me AGES to get ideas!

Cards That Pop!

   Black makes colors really pop, there's no doubt about it. It's why we go to the classic 'little black dress' for spec...
