Mikelle Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I know not everyone is comfortable using alphas – I for one actually enjoy them, and we have so many incredible alpha sets in the SG Shop. I have had plans for a certain layout brewing for a while, and it involves building my title a specific way using an alpha, so I thought I’d make this into a challenge. Your challenge this weekend is to use an alpha in your layout title – not necessarily for the entire title, but at least for one letter. One technique I have found interesting is to use a large letter at the beginning of the title to make it pop, or use one large letter that several words share. Or, mix and match alpha sets to create a funky fun layout, or tilt the letters and place them off-kilter… throw away those guide lines! This is a great way to overcome the need to make your alpha look perfect. Get creative, try out something new! Post your layout in the Weekend Wildcard Challenge gallery, and then come back to this thread and post a link to your layout so we can admire it!

Florida granny Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 This is a good challenge for me since I also collect alphas and hardly ever use them! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I like alphas, but somehow don’t normally use them! For my layout, I used Brandy’s Alpha Templates: Die Cut.Oz Hot Air Balloon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
