3rd day of 21 Day Challenge


I am experimenting with paper and watercolors. I incorporate traditional decoupage. I want to try different lettering. The small sticker letters don't show up so well. I am looking for alphabet block stamps, but I have had no luck. Does anyone have ideas on writing script, or stenciling it to make it look neater? ~nita~

I like the way it looks in your handwriting! Our Joanns has lots of alphabet block stamps - all sorts of scripts.

Love what you are doing with your journal!! I use lettering templates sometimes. TheCraftersWorkshop.com are my favorites because they come in multiple sizes (they are what I used on the cover of my journal.) smiles!

Dear Nita,
Your journal is a journey.
It is so cool you started it now.
I found my stamps at Hobby Lobby. I bet they have a web site and you could order them over the phone.

Nita,
your handwriting is so YOU, just as your journal. I would keep it.
John looked GOOD in the previous post; sent him another card this morning. I have added him to another prayer chain I am on. Praising God for John's good spirits.

PS, look on ebay for some stamps; I recently purchased some alphabet stamps reasonably. And try a Joann's or the walmart (I despise that store). You can sometimes find stamps with sayings on them as well as alphabets.

Nita, I like the way your hadnwriting looks just the way it is. I think everyone is critical of their handwriting. I think the journal looks much more personal this way.
