1.25 Tip: Clipping Paper to Alphas

Hi, it’s Heather. Today I thought I’d show you an easy way to get more use out of the alphas in your stash. Just clip papers to them!

First, lets start with a layout that is complete, other than the alpha



I was using Chelle’s O Come Let Us Adore Him, so I went to use the alpha in the kit, but then there was no contrast between the background paper and the alpha.



So, I took a darker color paper in the kit, and clipped it to the alphas. Instantly, the title looks much better!!



Here’s my finished layout
