Those were some great (and simple) ideas. I can think of a few ways that would add hnippaess to my day 1) Being able to read a chapter of a book without being interrupted. 2) Being able to finish a thought without it being interrupted. 3) Being able to finish a cup of coffee before it gets cold. 4) Being able to make a meal, just one, that no one complains about. 5) Being able to speak (and be heard) without having to raise my voice over the chatter of 5 children (especially if I am not even talking to them). 6) I would like to be able to eat a chocolate bar without being asked to share (is that mean?). 7) I would like to be able to have a telephone conversation during the day, just once, where I didn't have someone interrupt me. I would love to be able to eat a meal without most of it ending up on the floor. No, I am not a messy slob, I have two year old twins.9) I would like to be able to find things where I left them. 10) And last, but not least, I would love to sleep through the night, just one time. I couldn't make it to 14. LOL I tried. I do notice a trend though interrupting. I guess we are going to have to work on that. BlessingsHoney

I'm so excited to win!! I can't wait to learn about different fonts.
Posted By Teresa g  |  August 30, 2012 at 12:14 PM

I would love to learn how to incorporate different types of font into my pages. I think it would help make the pages stand out more.

I use fonts for titles,but would like to learn some other variations for fonts.
Posted By CarolS  |  August 28, 2012 at 04:05 PM

I use fonts for titles mostly. Would LOVE to learn how to incorporate different styles throughout my layouts.
Posted By Debra B.  |  August 28, 2012 at 03:38 PM

I use fonts for titles and journaling, and I also use text on my photos. I love fonts and and enjoy experimenting with them. I would love a chance to win a spot in Cathy's class - thanks for the opportunity.

I use fonts for journaling and for titles, and I also love to fill negative space on photos with words. I love Cathy's use of fonts and would love to learn from her!
Posted By Michaela  |  August 28, 2012 at 12:21 PM

I use fonts for titles and journaling on my layouts. I try a different font for each layout. It's fun deciding.
Posted By LeilaFlorence  |  August 28, 2012 at 09:29 AM

I haven't used much variations of fonts in my scrapbooks at all. When I first started I did but it was so overwhelming the amount of available fonts and not knowing which ones to use. This would be an awesome class to take!
Posted By smileygurl80  |  August 28, 2012 at 08:11 AM

I usually use the same journaling phont over and over again for my journaling on pages. Don't really use them for titles very often. It would be fun to learn about different phonts.

I'm so excited about The big Idea Festival! I think this class sounds great. I find fonts a little intimidating and always seem to use them in the same way to title a scrap layout.
Posted By alwayscharlie  |  August 28, 2012 at 05:12 AM

I love multi-font titles. I also journal a lot.
Posted By Connie  |  August 28, 2012 at 04:58 AM

I use the fonts for journaling and sometimes for titles. Unfortunately I get not very creative with them.
Posted By Majda  |  August 28, 2012 at 02:29 AM

Titles - usually places in vacation scrapbooks

I love fonts! I use them for titles and Journaling on my pages.
Posted By Casey  |  August 27, 2012 at 09:56 PM

The main purpose for fonts is to do my journaling. On a few occassions I use my font library for cards & invites.
Posted By jesa  |  August 27, 2012 at 09:28 PM

I love using fonts for titles and journaling on layouts and for sentiments on cards. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted By Josiane  |  August 27, 2012 at 08:11 PM

I use handwriting fonts on my digital pages for journaling, but am a little intimidated to use them on paper pages. Why I don't know.
Posted By Lafemmeknitkita  |  August 27, 2012 at 07:54 PM

I don't tend to use many different fonts - very simple titles using the computer. i would love to take this class to 'stretch out'.
Posted By jody  |  August 27, 2012 at 07:27 PM

I mostly use fonts in card making. Thanks!
Posted By Ashley C  |  August 27, 2012 at 07:20 PM

I have been using different fonts for both my titles and my journaling for years. It's fun to find unique fonts that corresponds with my photos and layouts. This sounds like a very exciting class.
