Our cropping group the Blossoms went away for our annual retreat weekend in March. We usually take a small gift along for one-another, this year I made these initial alphas as we has been looking at photo prop ideas.
I saw an article in an old copy of Creating Keepsakes Magazine:
I made an initial for each of my scrapping friends going to the retreat. So between Hobbycraft and The Range, I managed to obtain all our initials in 8" paper mache 3D letters. I painted each letter with acrylic paint and covered the front with patterned papers, then added names and embellishments from my stash. Each one was created in that persons favourite colours:
... 3 x A's, ...
... 3 x L's ...
... 3 x J's ...
... an S ...
... a W ...
... and a G.
This combination didn't allow for any clever spelling out of words, but I did my best!
