"Keep Your Eye on the Ball"

I created my title in Photoshop Elements by placing a text layer over my photograph. I added embossing effects and a drop shadow, and used two different font sizes.


ClaireR
Three Waters Creations
"'Four'tuitously Placed at the Four Corners"

I give complete credit to my hubby for coming up with this title, lol! I used 3 different fonts for my creative title.


Toni

Scrap Crazy

"Chandelier"

I have used two different alpha's for my title. It's actually a line from a recent top hit song by Sia.. and I chose the gloss gold thickers that really pop off this natural coloured layout..

Jane

Scrap Pieces of Me

"That Look"

Making the letters one of the focal points on the page.

 Karrie

"Proud"

OK Here's a new one - what else to do with GINORMOUS letters than make a

 GINORMOUS sentiment title?
