"Hi this is Stephanie and now I am talking about adding letters and monograms to your pages. Alphabets are a lot of fun because you can get all different styles. There is chipboard, plastic, foam, metal, and they add things to your page. You don't have to just use them for your title, I use them a lot of times just as an enhancement for the page. For example this page is a picture of my nephew Chris and the C isn't the title, the title is Unique, but the C just kinds of adds to the page. His name is Chris, obviously so it is a C. I also because the title was Unique, I have this little stencil that I have, that actually says Unique on it as well and it doesn't overwhelm the page but it adds a cute little embellishment and it is just a way to like I said to use letters as art. Another way that you can use letters as art, you know they make kind of stickers that are all kind of jumbly. Like this and it is a fun look, so do that on your pages. Here is a page that I did of my cat and I used all kinds of different letters to enhance the look of the page. It is busy but I used a regular chipboard letter, I used a dye cut, this is from a scrabble game, these are just regular paper, a card set of alphabets and it just really brings this page together and shows what I am trying to talk about. Letters, you know mix them up and have fun, letters are a really neat part of your page."
