Its
the time of year when there are all kinds of sports being played
and watched. Earlier this month I attended a college football
game and participated with the crowd as the cheerleaders worked
with each section of the stadium, leading us in cheers and chants,
holding up signs with the word or letter we were supposed to
shout.
That got me thinking that for all of the high school and pee-wee
cheer squads out there, it would be easy to make simple signs
with Lettering
Delights Alphabets. Individual letters can be printed on
full sheets of paper and then mounted on posterboard, making
them plenty large for most crowds. Even avid fans could make
the words they want to shout. Or type out the number of your
favorite player to cheer from the stands. |

While we're thinking of reasons to cheer,
let's give a big cheer to this month's special contest winners: Nancy
Emery, Marla O'Brian, Lisa Hehner, Susan Cooper and Charlotte Strainovici.

The trick to creating quick easy embellishments and
decorations for notebooks, book covers and any other school supplies
is to print your own stickers using Journaling Delights. Most office
supply stores carry sheets of adhesive paper that are 8 1/2 x 11
and run through a printer with no problems. This self-adhesive paper
is usually found with the mailing labels and other specialty papers.
Simply print your JD onto the adhesive paper, trim, and peel off
the protective backing to adhere it to your notebook, book cover,
lunch bag or any place else you could put a sticker. Use title and
journaling boxes to create custom toppers for notebooks and book
covers. Journaling Delights adornment images can be added for extra
fun.

To print the photo corners, open your browser
and go to Alphabets. Browse the Categories to find the Alphabets
that best fit your team or school. I would suggest sticking with
large, block style alphabets in order to keep the design simple
and easy to read from a distance. My sample was done with Phys.
Ed but some other great choices include Autumn, Big
Red, Brush
Thick, Chalked, Looney and Monsters.
Several other theme alphabet designs include a set of letters
that are not decorated and they can easily be used for this project
as well (i.e. JDA
Army National Guard, Fair
Play, JDA
Navy and Red
Socks).
-
Once you have selected your alphabet, type the
first letter on the type here line at the bottom
of the screen. Press Enter and it will display in the box above
in your selected alphabet.
-
Click Add to place the letter in
the Image Box.
- Move to the layout page and click the lettering in the Alphabet box
to place it on the page. Select the image and then click Size
Image. Size the letter to be smaller than the full sheet
of paper, to allow for trimming and mounting. (Remember to check
the Constrained box for the width or height, to be
sure that the image sizes proportionally.)
- Print your letter and the repeat steps 2 though 5 until you have
all of the letters you need.
- Trim the letters and mount them on cardstock (or posterboard
for extra durability).
