Tonight is another mini VSN over at SplitCoastStampers! The fun begins at 6pm CT – so make sure you stop by and check out the great challenges the hostesses have pulled off the shelf for you!

I’ve owned CTMH’s Sans Alphabet for a year or two now. I love that small little alpha. When PTI came out with their own Simple Alphabet, I wondered if I needed both. I was told that the PTI font was smaller. So I splurged and bought it 🙂

There are differences between the two sets that I thought I would enumerate for anyone else wondering.

1. The size – PTI Simple Alpha is smaller. I’ve attached an image below to compare. The CTMH Sans Alpha is on top, the PTI is below. I like the size of the CTMH but many times I have wanted to squeeze something on a small tag and haven’t been able to fit it all, so the PTI set has come in handy more than once already!

2. The actual blobs that the CTMH image sits on are form-fitting to the image, so you can get your letters closer. PTI are all uniformly shaped squares, so you get a mono-spaced affect. However, I have trimmed many of my PTI letters close and have not had any problems.

3. You get 2 of each letter with the CTMH set; upper case is sold separately from lower case as well as numbers. PTI gives you 1 of each letter – lower and upper – and number; however, you also receive extra letters – some as many as 3 extras.

I’ve decided to start a blog! I really didn’t think I ever would, but there are things I want to accomplish, and it seems like a blog is a good way to get started. So here is my first post, short and to the point – pretty much just like me 😉

I chose the name for this blog to help me remember the fun side of creating. I plan to get back into scrapbooking, and this reminder will be needed as I always get bogged down in the little details that my girls really don’t care about. Also, I hope to begin submitting my work to magazines and design teams – the reminder will be helpful in keeping my focus.
