Alpha 3

Hi

Just a simple textured alpha, using The Gingerbread House font.

Thanks to everyone for all the beautiful alphas.

Blessings - FS xx

I am having problems and not sure why. I have picked a font. I made my SBM page 3x3. I am trying to use a photograph as my background image for the font but it is not sharp. It looks too pixelated and I am not sure why it would look this way. So I tried a piece of paper and it still does not turn out as expected. How do you know what portion of a piece of paper will be used in the letter?

Didn't have a lot of time so just made a couple simple alphas with papers that I made previously. One is just the upper with the AlphaWood font and the other is both upper and lower plus with Jokerman font.

Had to zip up the files so that I could upload them.

I used a weave paper and flowers from SBM.

Sweetie, did you try doing what I mentioned in my instructions for number 4? You can resize your pattern in your letter...If you tried that already, please PM me and let me know what you tried and I can help...k?

I am loving all these alphabet creations you are coming up with..and as soon as I am done babbling, I will go download them....lol...I was running late due to some tests I needed done...(Yup, more issues I am dealing with..lol) But anyways, I need to call off a winner...and early this morning before Brandon had to go to school, he picked us a name...and the name is...Dum da dum....Um...Can't read my handwriting...lol...

Thanks for all your support in my challenges here at MAX...Love all the work you put into making stuff...Good luck everyone...BRING ON THE ALPPHABETS!!!!

[dillie1]

Wow, Michelle thank you! I never thought alphabets would get me a pretty kit like this one. When I was small and learning my alphabets I hated it. I can remember my mom had such a time with me. Now I can show her that I learned my alphabets--I need to do an extra special layout just for her with this kit . Thank you for such a great challenge and I will submit more alpha. Thanks.

I made my font but I just can't figure how to get it small enough to put into a zip file. I try but it always says too large.. Any ideas? I would like to post it for everyone since I spent so much time on it... I could post as a template but not sure.
What do you guys think?

[wolvsie35]

Gotart, what was the dpi you made them in? Making these letters at 3x3, shouldn't be that big of a file... You could try as a template, but most likely it would be just as big...Unless you export them checking the optimize embellishment box...That shrinks the size as well...Let me know, and I will try to figure something out for you...k/ ((HUGS))

and dillie1, you are so welcome!!!!!!!

Michelle, mine were massive, I had to resize them. Then I wondered, are we talking 3 inches (as I thought) or 3 cm?

Great challenge Michelle and many congratulations to Dillie1! What a fabulous prize.

[wolvsie35]

It might help resizing the paper you are using before hand...Some of the papers that we find are huge in MB....I have never had that issue with the ones I have done...
FS....I meant 3 inches...lol...You are too funny....

[mollie]

Dillie here is where I meant to say congratulations. So Congrats again

[wolvsie35]

Ok I know everyone is busy with the holidays coming and all, but no one is going to win this week if this keeps up...I had to wipe off the dust to this thread just to get in here...lol...
So let's see some alpha's...EH? ((HUGS))

[TheFreeSpirit]

Ooops sorry! Been busy digging out recipes for Tina! Will try to pop something in tomorrow.

[dillie1]
