Easy scrapbooking titles on your computer...

Rather than buying lettering stickers or handwriting their scrapbook page titles a lot of scrapers are now using a computer to do this instead.

We have lots of great sayings and quotes that you can use, so why not utilise your computer and print out your own page toppers too?

Chances are that you will already have Microsoft Word installed. This is a versatile program that will give you endless creative options when combined with all the different colors, patterns and textures of papers available - allowing you to customize your titles to suit your layouts.

So if you've never tried (or even if you have) printing out your own scrapbooking titles, this tutorial will show you a particularly useful trick that you can try-out the next time you want to make a title for a new layout.

Scrapbooking titles - a tutorial...

Usually when printing out text the letters are block filled with black ink (or whatever color you've selected), for example:

Here's what to do if you don't want block letters but would rather have an outline of the letters, so when they are printed the pattern or color of your chosen paper/vellum/cardstock shows through...

Open your Word program

Select the font, color(s) and size then write your text

Highlight the text you want to outline

Click on the word 'Format' on the toolbar at the top of the page

From the drop-down menu click 'Font'

A new window will pop-up, go half way down to the check-boxes and tick the 'Outline' option - you can see the effect on your text in the Preview window underneath

If you like it click 'OK', if not click 'Cancel' and try another font

Now all that's left to do is print, cut-out and add the letters to your layout. :o)

If you've always brought lettering stickers for your headings and never thought about doing your own - give it a go... it's easier than you think and the results can be quite amazing!
