One of the things I always missed when I first started digi-scrapping was having my handwriting on my pages. I'm a big journaler, and wanted to be able to have my words in my writing. Now you can, too!

Whether yours is sloppy, petite or a mix of cursive/print, we can create a font that reflects your writing!

The process is simple. You'll need a sharpie marker, some paper, and a scanner able to scan 300dpi in color. That's it! If you have any particular questions, please ask here or email me at djbfontography at gmail dot com.

I know. Your poor kids are going to wonder who the heck wrote all their journaling.

I LOVE mine, but I don't love my writing

Darcy made me a print and a script, and I was so thrilled with them, they came out perfect!

Kara · #12 10-30-2008, 11:11 AM

I love mine, too. I use it all the time!

**Holly** · #13 10-30-2008, 11:28 AM

When I have extra money I will have to get mine!

darcy...what kind of sharpie? a fine point?

Darcy Baldwin · #16 10-30-2008, 11:50 AM

Depends on the final product you want. If you want a thick font, do a sharpie or a fine point. If you prefer less thick (almost pen like), use an ultra fine.

Mandy · #17 10-30-2008, 11:59 AM

I used the fine end of a Zig writer.

lizzyfizzy · #19 10-30-2008, 12:08 PM

ya, i want pen like and i have a extra fine point sharpie. one more thing: how do i know if my scanner scans in at 300dpi?

justmp · #20 10-30-2008, 12:09 PM

I don't love my handwriting, but I do love having it available to me, and I think it makes my pages more personal!! Darcy does great work!

you'll have to play around with the settings on your machine. They're all different. Check photo quality.

lizzyfizzy · #22 10-30-2008, 12:16 PM

junebug · #23 10-30-2008, 12:27 PM

ZaCola3 · #27 10-30-2008, 12:39 PM

I love mine too!

Amber1279 · #28 10-30-2008, 12:54 PM

I told my friend that never knows what to get me - that I want my fonts for Christmas

mommy2aria06 · #29 10-30-2008, 01:31 PM

I don't think I want my handwriting...I just need Mandy's font- its beautiful!!

Darcy- I might so ahead and get mine but my writing is a mix of print and cursive so I'm not sure how to work that out?

Mandy · #30 10-30-2008, 01:42 PM

It's only pretty cuz Darcy did it and because it took me like 30 mins to write the dang thing out.

You can always jot down a line or two, scan it, and email it to me to djbfontography at gmail dot com. Most folks get to use a print font for this. It's rare that it's ever connected up enough to have to go to a cursive

And Mandy's is available in the store

Ethereal_sheep · #32 10-30-2008, 01:45 PM

My handwriting looks like a guy's handwriting, but I still love my handwriting font! I use it on every single layout

Haha..but it's much worse in person, because I write unevenly!

Thanks Darcy! I will definitely do that!!

Oh, and thanks for the link to Mandy's font! Must get it!

)

Do you like this on plain white paper or is lined ok? I've always wondered,lol.

Graph paper actually works best, but notebook paper and computer paper are great. No colored paper, light blue lines only - and not one that's been printed off the internet.

Missys3lilbugs · #38 10-30-2008, 03:19 PM

Oh I have wanted to do this for a while. I will have to wait a few weeks. Eventually I have to do this. Thanks Darcy for offering this.

scarletsierra · #39 10-30-2008, 03:53 PM

Dude, I'm so doing this.

rach3975 · #40 10-30-2008, 04:42 PM

I had mine done about 6 months ago, and it was one of the best scrapping investments I've made. I use it more often than any other supply in my stash.

JenTapler · #41 10-30-2008, 05:01 PM

Oh, Darcy....I am SO doing this in about a week!!! I love this idea!!!

Well, first I bough the sharpie, and start to use it.... of course that was not new, so I bough another... a couple of months later I bough the graph paper, then I didn't found the sharpie... I try once... and didn't like it... try it twice, and say to myself I have to think about my extra characters... then I lost the page... then I forgot... finally I bough more sharpies, and didn't remember where I put the block of graph paper... now I also don't know where my sharpies are... and the graph paper is still MIA .... LOL

LMAO, because this is pretty much exactly how it went for me.

Okay, so I know where the Sharpies are right now, but I have no idea what I did with the graph paper, and I never remember to buy more when I'm shopping.
