ScreenShot2013-09-17at33450PM_zpse8495ce9I can hear the collective sigh of happy from all you typewriter addicts.
YOU know who you are! Yes that is our Heather on the Subway with a typewriter.  She is not only addicted to typewriters, she makes cool fonts from way cool typewriters that are sold here at the Lily Pad, and most are included in this coolio challenge and sale! 

I began to scope around the Lily Pad and found some hidden addicts, they try to hide their love for typewriters in new and different ways. Take a look at the Boss of Applesauce  siggy:

It is an epidemic. There is no cure! Woo hoo, that is a good thing, because right now, the TREND Watch sale is full of all things Typewriters.  This is not just fonts, but they are in there, but word art with typewritten fonts and a whole lot of elements of fun typewriters too!  Okay, maybe, just maybe there is some bad blood between you and typewriters, don’t let that stop you. Press on and get those emotions out on a page like Robin did here:

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
