Alpha Alert---missing letters!

You know what I'm talking about, right? Those PESKY alpha sticker packs NEVER have enough As or Es or those particular letters you're after.  Right? Well, a bit of lateral thinking doesn't go astray!
Here's some ideas you might find useful:
I had ALL the other letters but 'S'. So I used a DIFFERENT 's':


Sometimes you can use OTHER letters instead. For example:


The upside down 'V' creates the 'A' & instead of using a full word, I've used 'text speak'....!!!
Similarly:


The 'A' is an upside down 'V'. The 'W' is an upside down 'M'....& the 'S' is actually an 8 that has had it's innards cut out:):) Thinking out of the box can work REALLY well!
Here's another idea:


I didn't have an 'E'. They ALWAYS run out first....so I used an 'L' & added two horizontal strokes with the white pen. Ta-da! Not only solved, but I get to use up other letters that would likely be left getting dusty!
Of course, you can simply mix up your alphas alongside stamps & word stickers:


 Or, one final idea - change a '3' to an 'E':


Thanks for looking ~ I hope you find this helpful ~
