Review & Giveaway – Artistic Letters Photography

artisticletterslogo

Artistic Letters was created by Jodi, a photographer whom takes amazing pictures of everyday things in a way that they look like letters. Each one is unique and original. After she started receiving great design ideas from friends and customers, she decided to offer customers a database of alphabet photos to allow the customer to create endless personalized designs.

I was extremely excited when Rafflecopter had brought Jodi and I together to allow me the opportunity to review Artistic Letters. I love creating projects for my home, as well as making personal gifts for friends and family throughout the year. This is perfect for doing just that!

First, I downloaded the 400+ images of letters and numbers and browsed through them. I have to say, the quality and creativity of each individual photo was impeccable. The photos can be used for so many different things including scrapbooks, art decor in your home, greeting cards, and craft projects. The possibilities are endless. What makes this great is no matter what you create, it is one of a kind. You can make something professional right from your computer. For gift or project ideas or to get your creative juices flowing, you can visit Artistic Letters’ “Get Ideas Here” page.

There were many different things that I wanted to make and ideas I had to create artwork. We are moving at the beginning of December so I wanted to make a “Welcome” frame for the entry and pieces for the kitchen. Then I decided to make these ‘We’re Moving’ photo cards to send out to family friends with our new address on the back:

There is so much you can do with the photographs that when I was working on creating projects, I would lose track of time, only to notice 3 hours later how late it would be getting. It kinda gets addicting. A few other thing I have created included a ‘Welcome’ photo for our entry and what I love is each season I can change the background easily on my computer and print out a new one.I also created a piece for my newborn niece. This is a great gift idea for a nursery.

Projects

I use Photoshop to create my projects, but if you don’t have Photoshop or a similar program, you can visit the “Letter Design Tutorial” page to download free software and learn how to create photos with the letter images! How great is that?
