Happy Tuesday!

Click on the play button below to learn a method for creating your own handwritten titles!


Finally, check out this article if you get a chance.  It's all about how to be able to keep having fresh ideas for your crafty endeavors.  Here's a quote from the last paragraph:

"Knowing the basics allows you to apply
them. Reading up allows you to see how other people find solutions to
problems. Experimenting allows you to find solutions to your own
problems (and create happy
accidents). The three together keep you
constantly creating–and what's better than that!
"

Thanks for stopping by!
