If you love clean, classic deign, you have probably already noticed that the typography trends has made it’s way to the paper crafting world. If you aren’t yet familiar with what typography is, it can simply be defined as “the art or procedure of arranging type”. Maybe you have seen posters or card with various fonts mixed together….well that’s typography! It can also be the use of 1 or 2 symbols or letters/numbers on a project. Think bold and graphic and black & white. The following is a round up of some of my favorite typography inspired paper crafting projects. From hand lettering tutorials to cards, scrapbooking, and home décor ideas, you are sure to find a project that is just your “type”!

I started scrapping in 2006 and was quickly addicted!I was an avid scrapper until late summer of 2010 when we started our adoption journey, at that point I was overwhelmed with paperwork (and emotions!) and I had to put something on the back burner in my life but I knew I would eventually come back to it.
We welcomed our daughter home from China in December of 2011 and a few months later I found my groove again and pulled out all of those supplies that had been tucked away.
I started out scrapping again doing traditional layouts, but at the beginning of this year I jumped into Project Life and I love it!
When I’m not scrapping I am usually spending time with our daughters which means library time, going on walks, thrifting (they love it as much as I do!) or watching Kung Fu Panda for the millionth time.I also have an Etsy shop Panda Eight Designs where I sell scrapbooking flair that I design.
