Hand lettering and a prize

by

I read Heidi Swapp’s “Love your Handwriting” book last night. WOW! How cool that she emphasizes using your own handwriting just as I do. Someone commented that I must’ve read her book when I wrote about hand lettering last week, but in fact, I hadn’t. (The copy I have is recently borrowed from a friend.) It’s a VERY USEFUL tool, though, if you aren’t comfortable with your own handwriting. My sister, who has always hated her handwriting, looked through the book last night and thought it was cool. I think I know what she’s getting for Christmas! The book comes with the tools you need AND a workbook, complete with fun, creative excersizes to get your comfortable with and even LOVING your own handwriting. I highly recommend it for those of you who don’t like your handwriting, and even for those of you who do.

Last week, I issued a challenge (Why Do You Scrap?), and Veronica in Aus is the winner!
She created a page about friendship that is stunning. Her journaling was so heartfelt and personal that it made the friend who she wrote about cry! That’s what can happen when you scrapbook for YOU. You’re more true to yourself, to your memories and to your audience. Do it consistently. SCRAP FOR YOU!

Congratulations, Veronica!
You win a copy of either Cherish or Big Picture Scrapbooking - your choice!

    I must check out that book. I’ve never been all the comfortable with my handwriting.

    Congrats Veronica!
