Wednesday’s Words – Typography

When trying to decide what to scrapbook for today’s post, I thought of typography and how it affects our layouts. I went on-line and searched “typography” and boy, do you get a lot of ideas from different fonts and ways that graphic designers have arranged them!

I found this site and loved how the shapes were created with letters! So I ran with that idea and cut out a heart shape, then filled it with x’s and o’s on my page. I asked my 5 year old some questions about “love” and wanted to scrap her answers…

I popped up the thought bubble with pop dots to make the heart stand out a bit more.

This is a photo of Kati and her daddy at the park one day. Wrestling is one way they show each other their love!

A quiz is a great way to come up with journaling for your page. Often times, I don’t know what to say about my photos. Ask your child what he/she thinks about a subject….or even about the photo. It’s fun to record their silly answers and look back at them when they are older!

(The second one says, “when mom tells you you’re CUTE”.)

Next time you run out of ideas, do a search on typography and see where it takes you!
