Video Tutorial | How to Fake Calligraphy

March 23, 2015 by Francine Clouden

Have you ever wanted to use gorgeous calligraphy on your scrapbook pages, but felt your skills just weren’t up to scratch? Well Mikko at I Try DIY has some help for you. She developed a technique for faking calligraphy! The best part is that it uses your own handwriting, so it’s fake but at the same time authentic. Say what? Check out the video below

The video is based on her written tutorial that you can find here.

BOO Halloween Mini Scrapbook Album

Traci used the BOO to You collection from Bella Blvd. to created this fang-tastic Halloween mini scrapbook album project. I love the cover, it’s shaped like the large BOO die cut letters she used, cut from fun pattern papers with a few embellishments added. The album is all connected together with black O rings.

The rest of the inside pages are rounded rectangles, measuring 7 1/2″ x 4″ covered in more fun pattern papers and lots of darling black kitties, ghosties, skulls and Jack O’ Lanterns in traditional Halloween corners.

Of course it wouldn’t be an album from Traci if she didn’t include her signature interactive elements like flaps, folds and pocket pages. This one is filled with cute journaling cards and tags.

Visit the Artsy Albums blog for all the details and more pics of this fun project.
