Lettering is a quick and simple way to add interest to a plain scrapbook page, and -- as designer Suzanne McNeill points out -- is a great way to personalize a page full of stickers and embellishments. The key to success, McNeill says, is to have pens at hand with a variety of tip widths and angles. Let's Go to the Zoo! Materials: Yellow, purple and orange cardstock
Deckle-edged scissors
Glue
Fine- and chisel-tip markers
- Trim yellow cardstock with deckle-edged scissors and glue to scrapbook page.
- Use deckle-edged scissors to trim outer edge of white cardstock to 1" smaller than yellow cardstock. Adhere white cardstock over the yellow.
- Trim photos and photo mats to size. Glue photos and mats together, then adhere both to scrapbook page.
- Use a pencil to add titles and journaling, then go over letters with green (or other color) chisel-tip marker at 45-degree angle.
- Outline letter (figure A) with green fine-tip marker, allow to dry. Later, fill in letters with yellow marker (figure B).
