Trespassing Apostrophe

Trespassing Apostrophe

Last month my oldest grandson had a special occasion and I was making “favor” tags when I encountered a little challenge using a script font. I’ve run into this before but not very often and thought I’d share a quick little tip… Spacing Punctuation Correctly Whenever I add an apostrophe inside a script font, it looks unnatural to break the script with the apostrophe.

Make Your Image Sparkle & Glow

Make Your Image Sparkle & Glow

Not Totally Happy?

Not Totally Happy?

This goes out to all scrappers…traditional & digital.  Ever get a layout mostly done and find yourself not 100% happy with the results?  You’re certainly not alone.  If you’ve read “My Story” you already know I can tend to be a bit of a perfectionist.  Truth be told, I can spend hours agonizing over just the “right” color or font or even the style I apply to a title.  It really can border on being ridiculous.
