Sunny Days

Thanks - I don't feel at all alone in my large amount of half empty pack of letters. It still bugs me to have them all sitting there. I guess one day I'll start to throw some of them out. However, I've only just this minute used a really old pack of thickers on the layout below. One of those packs where I have very few letters left, but one of my favourite fonts.

This is my layout for round 6 of Embellished Idol. The challenge this week was to use circle(s), flower(s), tag(s), staples, rubon/sticker element, handstitching and at least four photos.

Journaling: It was the first sunny day after Winter. You and I sat out in the garden and soaked up the sunshine and warmth. You played on the lawn while I got out the camera. Even Jak wanted to enjoy the fun and fine weather.

Have a great day! Happy fathers day for tomorrow to all the dads out there!

All your layouts are gorgeous. This one is no exception.
I just had an idea for the alphas...
Put the letters into one of those anagram solvers online and see what words it comes up with!
I might just try that. :)

So sweet! I love that font too. I couldn't bear to throw out any alphas at all, let alone those ones!

This looks fabulous! I love your whimsical style Kathie. Best wishes with Embellished idol!

Don't throw out your letters! I've recently added a post to your previous ones about how to use them. (If you still want to chuck them - let me send you a stamped, self-addressed envie! LOL).
I've also been making a list of how to change letters - here is my existing list:
Make lower case Ds, Gs or Qs into As by cutting off the stems
Turn around and cut the stems from lower case Ps and Bs to make As
Lower case Us and Ns are usually interchangeable
Lower case Qs and Bs are also interchangeable
Lower case Ps and Ds are also interchangealbe
Turn a Z on its side to become an N
Cut the stem from a lower case H to become an N, and further cut to be an R
Cut a lower case M to become N or R
Cut a lower case N to become R
Cut the stem from certain lower case script font Ks to become Rs
Cut the top part from certain lower case script font Zs and turn it aroudn to become Es
Cut Fs to become Ts
Cut 8s to become Ss
Make 1s or 7s into lower case Ls
Use number 0s as letter Os
Add a 'bar' to Cs to make lower case Es

Cheers!
