For example. The home farm means everything to my mother-in-law. We
decided to make a farm alphabet scrapbook for her. We have taken pictures all over the family farm that have letters hidden in the pictures. We to a close-up picture of the barbwire fence post and it will stand for the E. The post makes the line going down and the barbwire makes the 3 lines across.
We took a close-up picture of a horseshoe for the U and a stained glass that is in the shape of an Abridge across the creel for X. You find a few more letters for the scrapbook every time we go home.

Find out what your recipients passion is and make the letters from pictures for that theme. It may be old cars, or churches, banks or parks. You can find the letter shapes in anything.
1. Start thinking in "close-up." Look around for items that when a photo is
taken close-up will look like a letter. Look at architectural details such
as windows, stair rails, wood and stone trims, etc.

2. Zoom in and snap away. Zoom in with your camera so that the photo is
completely filled with the element that looks like a letter. Turn your
camera so that all of your letters will be vertical photos so that you can
line them up side by side across your scrapbook page.

3. Select print size. Once you have all of your letter photos on your camera
card, you will need to decide how large to print each photo. Check with your
photo developer to see what your choices are for sizes.
