    When I first found digital scrapbooking, circa 2009, the first pages I created I made my own wordart. They weren't the most refined things, but it was maybe my favorite part to make the page more mine. I relied heavily on song lyrics or quotes to make my wordart titles since I'm not too creative with catchy titles sometimes.

    Here's my first digi page ever to show where I began!

    Then my digi world expanded & I found more and more designers that created incredible bits of wordart I could use so I no longer had to make my own all the time. And I took that easy route & still do. I LOVE LOVE LOVE wordart & it's honestly one of the first things I look at in kits, and The Lilypad is FULL of awesome premade word bits!

    But I still find it fun & a creative process to make my own sometimes.

    SO that's your challenge this week! No alphas. No premade wordart. Just fonts & typography! Take a bit of inspiration from lyrics if you need to, or quotes your kids say. Take inspiration from advertisements, or movie posters for design ideas. Definitely use more than one font & play with sizes.

    Just have fun & make your own wordart to scrap a layout! My new page is below :

    Please follow the Lilypad Gallery Guidelines: Layouts must contain at least 50% TLP products (current or retired product from current designers; templates count as 15%.) Uploads must be less than 250k. List all credits; no off-site linking allowed.

    @bbymks5 I think you mix them perfectly! Those choices perfectly match the feel of your page!
