I’ll start off with my last crop layout.
Ancient epoxy stickers, more tiny alphas, a rare rub-on (this moment), which I get in kits ALL the time and almost NEVER use, and some letters bought back in the USA oh about 4 or 5 years ago – I only realized the first time I went to use them that they aren’t paper, they have sticky stuff on the back! DOH!
Now, what is currently obsessing me is the idea of making my own digital letters. I mentioned last week how much I liked the hybrid elements from a GoGo kit (no idea what one, but I know it was def. a GoGo kit) and found them so useful, I thought Well, I can do that! and set about making it happen.
And it actually wasn’t that hard. I had to use a combination of PSE6 and my old PS7 (it’s all to do with fonts appearing or not appearing in my PS7 version and what I can do in PS7 that I can’t do in PSE6) to make it all happen but here are a few sample – I can’t really share the first as I am not sure of the TOU on the free font:
That one I like A LOT. No shadows or anything as I would only ever cut it out, like a proper hybrid element.
The other one is more “digi”, and I made sure I used a free-for-commercial-use font from Font Squirrel – you can’t really see it in the small .jpg here, but the letters are crumpled paper-bag, with a thin brown outline, and a drop shadow.
I am going to add that one as a download and I would be really grateful if anyone who actually knows anything about digital elements either commented or dropped me a line.
What I think will happen if you click the image above (or at least what happens for ME) is you get a bigger image which you should be able to right-click to download as a .png then you can select and use the individual letters.
I love the idea of making the letters, learned a few new things while playing, and had a lot of fun. NOW I have to go shopping. Yuck. I hope someonae will LMK if they are complete crap or if they are at all usable. I enjoy the process even if I don’t ever get around to using them LOL!
Note: There may have been a problem with the images, which I think is fixed now.

MA, it all works well for me & they look great – many many thanks & well done! I’ll let you know when I’ve used them

I can’t see them either 😦 (actually I can see the alphabet at the bottom but not the layouts)

OK, I tried deleting it and re-loading it so hopefully that will work. It could have something to do with cached info, I don’t know. Nor do I know why I can see it but other’s can’t. So maybe check it on another day, when you visit and LMK if you see it then 🙂

I saw them fine on my computer, but I’ve done them a different way now and I hope you can see them!
