typography and a quiz...

When trying to decide what to scrapbook for "Wednesday's Words" over at Pink Paislee, 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 daughter who just turned 5 years old some questions about "love" and wanted to scrap her answers.

I drew the thought bubble out on patterned paper and cut out a heart in the center of it, and then popped it up with pop dots to make the heart stand out a bit more. I wanted the x's and o's to be light and not overpower the page, so I chose white sticker letters to fill it!

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

I came up with some questions about love for my 5 year old. I thought it would be fun to see what she says about the topic! A quiz is a great way to add journaling to 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 your child is 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!
