Welcome to the ABC Ransom Blog Hop,
hosted by Red Carpet Studio!
If you've come from Chas's blog, you're in the right place.
The Red Carpet Studio designers thought it would be fun to host a mystery blog hop while showcasing projects that can be made using all those leftover letters in your stash - hence where the "ransom" comes in. Ransom notes play a huge role in mystery/suspense films, and are often created out of random letters cut from magazines, newspapers, etc. in order to disguise handwriting.
While we won't be doing any kidnapping or holding anybody ransom today - we do have some creative projects to share with you!
For my project using leftover letters in my stash, I created...
I thought I would use left over letters for a page boarder. I thought this made my BACK TO SCHOOL page perfect.
I just added a few other sticker emblishement and the page was super easy.
I had enough of the bubble square letters to spell "Pre-K"
My TIP: My son was telling me when he CHEATS at words with friends he uses this site.
It would be perfect to plug in your left over letters and see what you cans spell.

Just plug in all of your letters and it will tell you what you can spell...Print out that sheet and attach it to the letter sheet
OR
Go ahead and get started on some cards....
Here are some other ideas from past blog posts.

Upcycle old Mail to bookmarks and cards.

We're also holding some blog candy ransom! However, the blog candy is hidden, and only certain stops of the hop are hiding it. The only way you can win is if you comment on those blogs! Now, we're not going to tell you whose blogs those are (that would be too easy) but we will tell you what the prizes are!
