Some people doodle with shapes and pictures, I love to doodle with words. I have tried the old take notes with an outline form, and I can write it out, but I sure can’t remember it. A few years back in Sunday School (adult one) I found my mind slipping off, counting ceiling tiles and making faces at little kids as out of touch with the speaker as myself. I grabbed an announcement paper from the foyer of the church and pulled out two pens a red and black, and started taking notes. It was like magic, fun and mesmerizing. As time went on, I added different pens and types of papers to my little note taking bag, and have found myself learning and remembering what is taught in Sunday School. I use this technique for so many areas now, to help me remember.
In digital art, remembering memories is the same, and you can use words to make a page especially when you might not have a photo to key in on for the memory. This Trend Watch challenge is Hand Lettering. The beauty of digital art, is you can pick up brushes/alphas with a hand lettered flavor, or even word art that is all put together for you to jump from and fill your page with loveliness!
Here are some pages that can inspire you to incorporate this fun TREND Watch – Hand Lettering:
Becky really shines with her documentation and giving her pages that hand lettered feel, using Lynne Marie’s Template builders and Lili’s cards.
Danielle (susuimommy) gives the word arts the recognition as a title and it works so fabulous along with all the fun paints and blends in her Dream Team page.
Hybrid! oh be still my heart looking at all those beautiful words all lovingly cut out and pasted to Sarah’s page Public Library!
