    Hello hello my lovelies!!!!
    Hope everyone is well.
    So this month we are playing with Typography, which is something I LOVE!!!!
    I know most of us are font addicts, and I have discovered some gorgeous, amazing ones through pages of yours, LOVE what Dalis made in the previous weeks!!! I'm hoping to have enough health to be able to go through your pages from the previous weeks too!

    If you just arrived at the Muse for this month, you can find the perfect definition
    HERE in Dalis ' Week#1
    Here is a page I made, the products I used are half price today (07/22) until midnight EST on SOSN :)

    This week I would like you to play with geometric shapes... you can arrange your message/quote/phrase INSIDE the shape, or you can use a mixture of different shapes as the BASE for your text...... or you can go even further and CREATE the letters using geometric shapes.... I will be making a page in the next couple of hours (hopefully) but I followed Dalis inspired brain and made you a Pinterest Board HERE.

    1. Your page should have a text that is very prominent in the page, this could be one word or more, can be a title, a quote or short phrase, but must be the focus of the page.

    2. Use GEOMETRIC SHAPES- use scrapbook papers or elements from kits to create your shapes, there are also pieces of paint that have geometric shapes, that is great too.

    3. you can place your text INSIDE the shape

    Or use GEOMETRIC SHAPES as a background for your text

    If you choose to go further and create your letters with geometric shapes, here is one example, there are many more, but this I found the easier to compose

    In the Pinterest Board you have more examples, some are simpler, have a look and create inspired on them, you can combine types, use your imagination and have fun!!!!

    Remember to follow the rules for uploading into the Gallery.
    Please upload to the our Art Journaling Gallery and then post it here, hope you have fun and enjoy the week!!!!! Can't wait to see what you create!!!

    I found a huge artsy kit I've barely used in my stash that has loads of different geometric shapes in various styles in it. So I've played around and got something visually appealing. Now to think about what word(s) I want to add.
