There's one tool that I use in almost every one of my crafting projects. I'm not talking about the obvious tools like paper cutters or scissors. It's my computer. The love I have for my computer is no secret. I've talked about naming her (MacKenzie!), kissing her when she does good, and even giving the gentle hug now and then.
And I realize looks aren't everything, but she's so pretty, don't you think?
Sure, I use her for titles and journaling, but I use her for so much more. For example, this weekend I needed to repaint our mailbox after the "mailbox hoodlums" wrecked havoc through the neighborhood, banging up all the boxes in their path.
I used MacKenzie to print off our house numbers in one of my favorite fonts: ATModernTwenty. I cut the numbers out and traced them on my mailbox and painted away.
Btw - AT Modern Twenty is probably the only paid font I own. It's just so versatile and fit exactly what I needed that I had to purchase it!
And I've had so much fun creating hybrid projects with Jenni Bowlin Studio's new digi kits:
Supplies: JBS Mercantile Papercrafting Kit February and JBS Digital Kit Vintage Red
