Textuality
Adding
text appeal to your scrapbook page titles, journaling,
and more
|
Spend
four weeks with former English teacher and current
librarian Amy Sorensen, learning dozens of unexpected
ways to use words on your scrapbook layouts! All
you need is an adventurous spirit, your word processor,
and the supplies you already have on hand.
With
help from 26 downloadable handouts and a
fun, interactive classroom experience, you'll make
a serious dent in your alphabet supplies, fall in
love all over again with your favorite fonts, and
create a bunch of layouts that really say something.
Textuality
will change the way you use your text-based scrapping
products, from letter stickers to die-cut monograms,
alphabet stamps to text paper. And it doesn't stop
just with alphabets, either. Journaling spaces,
titles, quotes—nearly every way that scrapbooking
and words or letters work together is covered.
