Use Icons in TIles
design by Jen Lessinger
When you can't find the perfect patterned paper for your page, design your own using dingbat shapes you arrange and color yourself. Jen made this fun background from distressed and plain star shapes in two colors.
Tips
Ensure perfect placement. Use a separate text box for your dingbat shape and place over the replaced letter to get just the right positioning.
Repeat, reuse. The reinforce your layout's theme, duplicate the same dingbat image in a smaller size to make a quick border.
SOURCES Card stock: DMD, Inc. Patterned paper: SEI. Fonts: Tombats Smiley (face) off the Internet, Century Gothic (title, journaling). Rub-ons: Autumn Leaves (stitches).
