Are you planning to write the journaling by hand or use your computer? Or are you super fancy and have a font of your own handwriting?
I don't even know how to write by hand anymore. LOL. I do have my own handwriting in both print and script that I made a long time ago and I always love the pages that I use those fonts on because they seem more "mine".
I plan on doing most of mine on the computer...either printing out on the digital cards or using the tip of printing directly on the paper cards. I probably will use my handwriting somewhere though...
I do both, heh heh. My PL album has been an eclectic mix. Sometimes I journal on computer and print out directly onto the PL cards. Sometimes I make my own 4x6 or 3x4 canvas in PS and do the whole thing digi and print it out. Sometimes I just hand-write directly onto the cards. I guess I haven't been too concerned with uniformity, LOL.
Oh, I should say, if I have a ton to journal, I usually do it on the computer, because then I can play with font size and line spacing to fit everything I want to say. But if it's just a couple of sentences and a date stamp, I just do it by hand.
I am thinking of giving this project a try and I think I'll use a mix. I'd love to know how to make my own handwriting into a font. Then again, my handwriting is subject to mood... lol.
I don't know. This is my first time tackling PL and I am real excited. I would like to do it on the computer and print directly on the cards but sometimes I think that robs the whole meaning from the album. Like a personal glimpse into our past and our memories would be sweeter if it was more "personal" maybe? I dunno. Plus my handwriting blows so I will probbly just stick with printing directly onto the cards. LOL!
If I decide to go ahead with this project, I might do both too. My own handwriting is, well, mine. I have it done up in a font as well, but I don't care for it. But I also have a ton of amazing fonts that I really love...so I'll probably do both.
i think i'll probably do most of mine digitally ... using either a typewriter font or my own font that i had made ... i'll probably add handwritten letters or other notes into the album, so i don't feel guilty about not using my own (ugly) handwriting on the journaling cards
I'll be using my own custom handwriting font for most of it and will hand write little things here and there
I've made a font of my own handwriting on my dh's iPad. It kinda looks like my handwriting, but only if I'm printing very, very neatly. I'll probably keep trying and see if I can get a scruffier version
My handwriting can change at the drop of a hat. And when I moved, I left all my printers at home. So before the holidays I attended the Brooklyn flea market and picked up a typewriter. So I'll be doing all my stuff the old fashioned way and I can't wait!!
I think I'll be doing just fonts in my collection. I may think about redoing my own font since mine was done about 6 years ago... not sure yet.
Probably both but I like the idea of using my own handwriting, I think when I'm gone the kids will appreciate that ack..that's morbid!
this is me exactly. i don't hate my handwriting, so i'm not against putting it into the album. but if there's LOTS to fit, i don't trust myself to judge that with my own writing.
My handwriting is okay, but I'm typing and printing my journaling. I use a variety of fonts - pretty much whatever suits my mood. I like being able to edit what I write and adjust the font and size to fit my story. When I write directly on my journaling card I either end up with extra space or get cut off.
