Scrapbooking Your Handwriting: The Personal Touch
Scrapbooking as a hobby has changed along with the digital age. We can use digital software to create beautiful scrapbooking pages completely on our computer screens. Even the most traditional scrapbookers love the neat, professional-looking type of computer fonts for their pages.
A computer font may be prettier than handwriting. However, it lacks the personal touch and meaning of our handwriting when our families view our pages.
We all hesitate to use our own handwriting on our scrapbooking pages for different reasons. A few reasons are common. You might think your handwriting isn’t neat enough for others to read. Consider how your family views your handwriting. You can get beyond your concerns if you realize how much your families will value that you preserved something as personal and unique as your handwriting. Remember how important those handwritten family recipes or letters are to you now.
Are you worried that you will make a permanent mistake with your journaling? Handwriting errors aren’t difficult to correct. Try using a paper journaling block first. You can use a second one if you mess up the first. If you’ve already attached it to the page, just glue another one over it. Use other page elements to cover your errors. Stickers are a simple way to cover a handwriting mistake.
Handwriting success depends on using the right pen. You should first consider the type of paper you are using. Choose a pen designed to write on that type of surface. Some pens will run or smear on certain types of scrapbooking paper. Width is also important. Using a wide tip pen on a small square of paper is not going to be successful.
Always practice your journaling before you glue it to your page. Write a draft on a piece of scrap paper. Slowly, read it aloud. This helps you spot errors in your grammar and spelling. If you have someone available, ask them to proofread it for you. Always remember to test the pen on the paper as well. Practicing on a draft first also lets you see if you have enough room available for all of your journaling.
Are you one of those people that write uphill? If you find it difficult to write in a straight line, use lined journaling blocks. You can make them yourself, buy a stamp with lines designed for this purpose, or purchase pre-lined journaling papers. Another tip is to use the natural lines in your layouts. Write along stripes on patterned paper. Handwrite phrases around a frame. You can even print on the edges of your borders.
There are few things as personal as our handwriting. Handwriting is unique. Like our signature, it is a statement of who we are. When you use your handwriting on your page layouts it adds character to your scrapbooks. It will tell your family and anyone who looks at your albums about your mood and your personality. Your family is sure to treasure your scrapbooks even more. Let your handwriting add depth and emotion to your pages, not a computer font.
