Have your handwriting made into a font....

[Darcy Baldwin]

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.

[Mandy]

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

[newfiemountiewife]

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

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

[Kara]

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

[**Holly**]

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

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

[Darcy Baldwin]

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]

I used the fine end of a Zig writer.:thumbup:

[Darcy Baldwin]

I used the fine end of a Zig writer.:thumbup:

That works, too! LOL Anyting other than a felt tip, ball point pen, roller ball or pencil :)

[lizzyfizzy]

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]

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]

darcy...pm headed your way.

[junebug]

i want to do this. maybe next month!

All the little people, right? LOLOLOLOL

[ZaCola3]

I love mine too!

[Amber1279]

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

[mommy2aria06]

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]

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 (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=3217) :thumbup:

[Ethereal_sheep]

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! :thumbup:

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

I write like a guy too..and was told repeatedly this in high school (by my male English teacher that wrote like a girl :p )

If my handwriting looked like yours I'd do it in a heartbeat!

[Brooke W]

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

[Darcy Baldwin]

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]

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]

Dude, I'm so doing this.

[rach3975]

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]

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

[Joan]

Ugg, this remind me that one year later I haven't send you mine... LOLOh good, I'm not the only one LOL. Almost one year later, still haven't sent it! :D

[OrianaVianey]

Oh good, I'm not the only one LOL. Almost one year later, still haven't sent it! :D

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

:blink:

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