    Hi, My name is Michelle and I'm a closet Alpha addict. I love Alpha's. Doesn't matter what style - I love them all! Do you like Alpha's? Do you have a favorite style or pack?

    Enable me - I'd love to see your favourite ones, and possibly add more to my ever growing stash.

    Heh.

    I'm too lazy to use Alphas. They're a pain. =P

    oh be still my heart! I love alphas, fonts, words...I delight in them.
    I love to mix and match and then mix and not match!!
    This page has some of my most fav alpha on it:
    [​IMG]
    the title of Kim Jensen's
    Stitched Down Folded Paper Alphas
    with way cool shadows available too
    shows better here:

    CD Muckosky is the first store I visited here, after asking a sista in scrap about alphas:
    I bought this Stand Tall First and use it so much!!

    and these 3:

    PINK Reptile Designs is another who amazes me with her coordinating alphas, and they are so versitle:

    [​IMG] and [​IMG]
    combine these two     and the effect is so awesome. I used almost all of these fonts on this title:

    I struggle with alphas a lot of times. I don't know what it is...I try to use them and then don't like what I come up with.

    This is my favorite alpha ever:

    I'm a bit lazy when it comes to titles so I'm not necessarily an alpha addict but I do own quite a few.

    I love alphas! I've recently decided to use them more, and mix & match them.

    I LOVE ALPHAS!! :yippee

    I mainly use foam/thicker styles or veneer. I just love big wooden titles. Just Jaimee and Mommyish are really great for alphas that go with anything and PRD has the best coordinating alphas for my style, imo.

    Me too, I’m an alpha hoarder


    Yes, I’m a bit like that. Feel like I need a How to creatively use alphas lesson 101 a lot.

    My favourite way to use an Alpha is to highlight a word or two in the title, then use a font (handwrtten or script) for the rest. I find it creates a Word Art title and helps it to stand out on the page.

    Yes, that is what I do, too, most of the time if I use alphas. It helps to break the title up a bit and add interest.

    I love brush styles - mostly show up as part of the M3 main kits.

    I don't put a title on every page, mostly because it rare that I can come up with one. But I love alphas... Some really cool ones have been shared.
