Welcome
Creative Corner
New Alphabets and Fonts

Http://www.LetteringDelights.com

Many of us are enjoying a three day weekend right now, in honor of President’s Day. With this, and other three-day weekends comes the opportunity to take a quick trip to see sites, visit family and friends or just ‘get away’ for a few days. In honor of this traveling tradition, we’ve put together a ‘Road Trip’ bundle that includes everything you will need to scrap your travels. The ‘Road Trip’ bundle includes five alphabets (Signaled, Slide Show, Highway, Main Street and Road Trip) and five fonts (LD Interstate, LD RV, LD City Scape, Scrap Map and Scrap States) for just $10.00. Each of these fonts and alphabets is a great basic to add to your collection of Lettering Delights products.

Now on to the Creative Corner project for this month....
Have you ever been to a bridal shower where all the guests were asked to bring a recipe to share with the bride? Or attended a potluck meal where the recipe for the dish you provided was requested? Events like these are where many of my favorite recipes have been acquired and shared.

With the Lettering Delights image browser, Journaling Delights images and a wide array of fun fonts, it’s easy to make beautiful, custom recipe cards that make sharing a recipe (and having multiple copies) a snap.

To get started, open your Lettering Delights browser and go to Journaling Delights. You will notice that all of the Journaling Delights sets include a large rectangular photo/journaling box. When you are selecting the JD set you plan to use, pay particular attention to this clip, because this is the size that will work best for a finished 4x6 or 3x5 recipe card.
Select the clip you are planning to use and Click the ‘Add text’ at the bottom of your screen. In the text box which appears, type your recipe information and instructions. Use the options available in the text window to size your text and size and move the text box to fit on the recipe card appropriately.
Click Add to place the image (including the text) in the clipboard and move to a layout page.
Place the image on the layout page, select the image and then click ‘Size Image’. Choose the dimensions of your recipe card and enter them in the appropriate boxes. To be sure that the image sizes proportionally, be sure that the ‘Constrained’ box is checked for the width or height. The final dimensions may not be exactly 4x6 or 3x5, but this can be resolved when you trim the printed card.
Print your custom recipe card on white (or light colored) cardstock and give it a quick trim to the final size.
