Title Tips Part 1 - Hand Written

There are a lot of fun ways to create titles for scrapbook pages.  One of the easiest is to letter the title by hand as I did with this page.  There are several challenges one runs into when hand lettering.  Here are some helpful hints:
  • Lightly draw horizontal guide lines with a pencil.  These can be erased later, but help keep the letters straight and of a uniform size.
  • Write the title before trimming to size.  This allows you to trim it after the fact for easy centering of the title.
  • Use a paper punch to decorate the edges of the title block.
