I'm taking Joanne Sharpe's fabulous Letter Love 101 class, and having so much fun! I have always loved letters and lettering; but really wanted to be more varied and playful with my lettering styles, and this class is perfect for that! It's PACKED full of fun - lots of assignments and projects; and we are making three (that's right I said THREE) journals full of lettering! Yeayyy!!!
The first one is like a practice book of sorts. I had fun decorating it up...
Can't wait to fill it with handouts, inspiration and assignments!!!
I also finished my Monday spread in my Book of Days journal...
Anyhoo, I will keep you updated on my next Book of Days journal choice.
If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, then you know that I am constantly changing my "system" for creating. Do I want to put everything in one journal, or have different types of journals, and if I want different types of journals - then how many should I have going at once? Oh my goodness, the hours I've spent pondering this ongoing question! Well I woke up from a nap the other day (after making my Love Letter notebook), with a Eureka moment! Taking all of these classes reminds me of when I was in college. In those days I had a notebook for each different class. I wouldn't have even thought of mixing my notes all up in one book; it would have been too hard to find anything when I needed to! Sooooo, why not take that approach now? YES - it's GENIUS! I will have a notebook for each class I'm taking! Just like the one Joanne had us create (see pic above) for Letter Love! A place to practice, put notes, paste handouts, and inspirations, etc. I'm so EXCITED!!!
I will keep you updated on how this goes...
