Using up Leftover AlphasWe all have them, odd alphabet stickers from previous projects. Don't hide them away in your stash, get 'em out and use them!
Here are a few ideas and tips to clear out the leftovers
Visit wordbuilding websites such as www.morewords.com or www.anagrammer.com and load in your remaining letters.
A list will appear of your options, keep this list with your stickers for easy reference.
Combine different fonts to create unique titles. Use alphas on cards or as monograms
Use numbers and letters as frames/borders on school or birthday themed layouts.
I completed 4 projects from the letters I had left, now go and see what you can do to clear out old alphas and make way for new ones!
This is a great idea! Thanks Shelby. I learned something too.
Shelby has offered to give away the Family layout and the card. Leave us a comment and you will be entered in a random draw. Two winners will be announced on Monday, one for each project!

Thanks for the idea about word building sites! I NEVER would have thought about that! Awesome! :)
Great tips Shelby! We all have those left over letters! I even try to figure out words in other languages sometimes!
Easypeasy.com will generate words too.
Thanks!
Awesome! I am going to need those websites to complete my layout for the challange!
Thanks!
Gorgeous projects Shelby! Thanks for the tips!!
thanks for the info I always wondered what to do with the left over letters that never made a good word.
This is great! I have often thought about buying 2 packages of the same letters so that I don't run out! Now I don't need to worry!

Hi - I was wondering what to do with my First Day of School layout (I know I'm a little behind) and now you've given me an idea to border with leftover letters. Thanks.
This is supposed to be a comment to Shelby re her Family layout and card. Good luck to me! Ann Eichorn
Great ideas - thanks!! I didn't know about these websites. Like others, I have bought two packs of the same letters, so I don't run out, or gone back for more, thinking that everything had to match!
Andrea :)
