Three Things + 1 : Word Stickers
Tags:
Classic favorites today: word stickers.
I am always on the lookout for basic, life-focused word stickers that can be used on any number of layouts/projects. I tend to reach for the ones with universal themes most: life, travel, home, adventure, family, memories, etc. They are great for mixing together to create new phases or sentences or for intermingling between handwritten or computer journaling (see sample below).
Narratives 12x12 Cardstock Stickers
Travel Advisory 97% Complete Stickers
7gypsies 97% Complete Stickers
Here's a layout example using word stickers from Life Artist:
[ The background for this layout is a 12 inch x 8 inch photo printed at scrapbookpictures.com. Lines were drawn on the photo using a Slick Writer and a ruler. Heidi Swapp clock overlay was trimmed to fit on the left side. ]

Ali,
This isn't related to your post, but I thought of you while reading Wired magazine's March 08 issue. There is an article concerning autism and the new research surrounding it. I thought you might be interested and wanted to tell you. I hope this post isn't too weird from a total stranger.
You inspire me and I read your articles and posts all the time. Thanks for all you do.

I love that layout! I have wanted to use a photo before as my background - but never was sure how to make it work - THAT is the look I wanted but didn't know it ... if that makes any sense. You know, I would never think to crop the big photo that way to have a background to journal on - or if I did, I would not even try it for fear of it being stupid looking. Just keep inspiring us! I love your style - it is just so fantastic how you use things. In fact, seeing how you use things, you don't need the embellishments. You just make it look great .... okay, I will stop gushing - but again, thanks so much for just showing us things and ideas and techniques.

Hi Ali
like you I love word stickers but have trouble remembering what word stickers I have. Is there any system that you use that make it easy to find the word you are looking for?
