Each week at jessicasprague.com; a new 'Spraground' challenge is issued in the general forum. An opportunity to try something new during the week - to think outside of the box - and to add another layout to my "to be printed" folder. (You know I just love to fill that folder up!)
This week the challenge was to use a font - and fill the letters with pictures. As it turns out - this was the perfect layout for a cover page for our 2010 DisneyWorld Vacation Album.
It was pretty easy and I love the way it turned out.
Find a nice bold font (I used BEBAS - which can be found at dafont.com. ) I typed out my title one letter at a time. This allowed a unique picture to be used for each letter. You could also use one picture for each word - or a single picture for the entire title - the options are endless.
Once the title is type out - line it up the way you wish it to appear on the page. (Hint, once it is lined up, I link the layers together so they don't accidently move) Add a picture above each letter in the layers palette and clip the picture to that layer (using the letter as a mask).
I added a wide stroke to 'mat' each letter as well as shadows. For the background on this layout, I used papers from ALL STAR BIRTHDAY - PRIMARY COLLECTION, available at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking. I love the way this page turned out. If you have not tried this technique - give it a try. For a cover page, it's a great way to offer a sneak peek of what's to come.
It's Friday - hope you have had a great week and are looking forward to a great weekend...by the Shore.
