January 23: National Handwriting Day
Lots of scrapbookers shy away from using their own handwriting on layouts.

Whether or not you fall into this group of scrappers, use this day to commemorate a very unique and special part of you - your handwriting - on your next layout!

It's also a great opportunity to show your children's progress in learning to write or improving their handwriting.

Here's a few ideas to get you started:

Photo:

• your handwriting
• your child practicing their penmanship
• signatures of the same person at various points in their life

Title:

• Write On!
• The Writing on the Wall

Quote:

• “Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
• “Handwriting is autobiography.” Carrie Latet

Journaling:

• Complete this free online handwriting analysis on yourself and share some of the key results.

Product:

• Use a patterned paper with a ledger or notebook style design.

Technique:

• Handwrite your title and/or journaling.

I encourage you to share the layouts you create from this prompt in the NEW :BE INSPIRED: Creativity Prompts Flickr group pool!!
