1. Twenty-Seven Layouts Finished!

When I’m creating a layout or adding journaling, I look through my Lettering Delights products in search of the right fit for my page. I feel a sense of satisfaction when I find an alphabet, font or Journaling Delight that complements and completes my layout.

With the new look and features of LetteringDelights.com, it’s now easier to find a specific style or subject, or simply browse the categories until something catches your eye. Type a keyword or phrase into the search box, and instantly see products fitting that topic. For example, if I can’t remember the name of the Christmas tree alphabet Marna Hill designed, the Advanced Search feature tells me it’s Merry Joy.

Using the site as a search tool is a great way to save time. If you don’t already have that perfect alphabet for a layout, placing an order is quick; you’ll have downloadable products to use at home in no time.

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time at LetteringDelights.com because I’ve been spending quite a bit of time completing layouts: twenty-seven pages finished at last count! The layout I’m sharing today is very simple. It uses the font LD Elegancia. I was looking for a font that fit the Constitution theme of the layout, and LD Elegancia has the antique style I wanted yet is fairly easy to read. It worked well for the journaling and the title; I just made very large individual letters (110 point) for the USA blocks.

7. Where Are the Contests This Month?

Beginning this month, contests have changed to better meet your interests and to allow us more time to focus on developing the products you love most. If you want us to make an alphabet with a certain theme or look, we welcome your requests. Send us a description of what you would like us to create, or upload an image to help illustrate your idea. Tell us what you’d like on our idea request form at http://www.letteringdelights.com/prod_request.php.
