For my last challenge this month, we are using up all those widows and orphans, odds & ends of letter stickers. Give yourself ONE point for every TEN random letters you can place on your project.
Give yourself an extra FIVE for every sheet of stickers you completely finished off!
An extra point for the twist: (this one is for nylene) Use a DOILY. Bonus of 5 points if you do the challenge AND the twist on one project.
ETA: digi scrappers can just use random letters.

I knew instantly I wanted to lift a layout steakgoddess posted on her youtube this week ( process video) and the colours she used worked pretty well for my page to so I copied those as well:  |

Awesome, Chinagirl828! Thanks for playing along. Did you paint over your stickers with white before spritzing them to match your papers? |

Did you paint over your stickers with white before spritzing them to match your papers? Yes, I have all the colours of the rainbow in those question marks, so I just used a cheap white acrylic paint to paint over them. It took two coats to cover them, then I added the mists over the top. Steakgoddess does the same thing in her youtube video so I was confident in the look I would get. |

Chinagirl828 your layout is one of those that I go back and look at several times. Something beautiful and soothing about it, then the picture pops against that. grammadee , you can see your layout heavily influenced mine - I loved the dark background and random orientation of the letters. This was my very last day as a teacher. I thought education was a perfect topic for alphabet letters. I borrowed the husband's laser line devices to try and get the letters more lined up. It was an interesting experiment.

I love how this looks like a patterned paper and such a perfect subject for this prompt! |

Wow jjpeapea! You got those letters lined up perfectly! That’s why I packed mine in so tight: so I wouldn’t have todo any precision measuring. |

jjpeapea , your letters look so great as background. I love the title and the smile for retirement! Great job on this challenge. Chinagirl828 and grammadee , there is love in the gallery. I don't ever buy letters because I have always made my own with Big Shot or electronic cutter. I did have one very old "Remarks" bag of letters that had a few that I used a long time ago. Not sure I like the look and wish I had used a plain background instead of stripes. But I wanted to tell this story. What a difference a teacher makes. It is almost March and Alex will still say his teacher is the best part of school!   Teachers Who Love Teaching

I didn't use as many as planned - I actually thought I would fill the purple cardstock with letters. But then I didn't just want random letters; I wanted them to be from my name only. So I chose a smaller area.  layout you hear with your ear by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

These are marvelous ways to use the letters! Love the symbolism of the letters in yours, kitbop, having to spell that name over and over and get people to "hear" it. And they are definitely the perfect embellishment of that boy's school stories, nylene. |

KikiPea, I love all the winter on this page! So much sparkle and snowflakes and blue. I lifted your stacked torn edged strips on one of the pages I did yesterday. Hey! Are you on my team? Maybe I can squeeze an extra point  ...

Mine's late too. Yes grammadee, there *are* letter stickers on my pages. The small covid viruses had letters printed on them before I heat embossed over them. Not what you were looking for, maybe. But it's what you get!   |
