I believe that lettering can embellish a scrapbook page or a card better than any other
accessory. The letters can be used to spell out a name, and make the project personal,
or it can spell the title, theme, or event. The manufacturers know this, and have put a
wide array of letters on your stores’ shelves for you to look at. But what if your name has
3 ‘z’s? What if you are tired of having a large collection of letters you’ll never use? I
have created a way to make the perfect letters to match your page, card, theme, color,
etc., by using only your computer’s printer, and some paper punches you probably
already have.

I think this is one of my favorite techniques. The looks you can get are infinite,
limited only by your imagination, and your scrap supply! Layering mats by color,
theme, or texture – coordinating patterns with solids – the varieties are endless. You
can custom your mats to fit your photo or your project. With a simple math formula
(really, it’s simple) we can layer mats up or down, and get a perfect fit every time.
