DIY WordArt - Challenge

[lbjiowa]

Anyone else interested in playing with WordArt ... as in "MAKING" your own? I thought I'd see if I could get enough people to play along.

If you are interested in:

:think: taking your digital image/text manipulation skills to the next step, or
:confused: taking text beyond the 'dingbat', 'font style' level, or
:cool: just playing a new game ...

This is the place to sign up. Just post a note to this thread and we'll go from there.

Sounds like fun - problem is finding the time... But I'm definitely interested :)

Totally understand ... wouldn't it be nice to find an unlimited source of TIME? I'm thinking we'll keep this playtime fun...stessfree...no TIME limits! Just play ...

I'm thinking I'll find a couple quotes and then anyone who joins in the fun can come up with their own version of wordart for that quote ... no restrictions...just fun.

What do you think?

[Raphne]

Oooh, I'd love to!

[nachtstern]

sounds great to me!

Yes I did a Word Art course ages ago but I haven't had much practice since.

Uh.... yeah, if you don't have time there are lovelies in the store. lololol... sorry, I just hadda say it ;)

[lbjiowa]

How FUN! I'd totally lost track of this thread ... let's PLAY!

Since Father's Day is quickly approaching why don't we start there? Here's the challenge:
Find a quote that 'speaks' to you.
Post it here ... in this thread ... (by next Friday?)
Once we have a submission from each person we'll then start our 'work' ...
- convert the quote into word ART usable in page layouts and/or other digital art projects.

I'm off to see which quote I'd like to post...

Yup, and they inspire me to want to try myself! ;-)


I'm in for this-- now I just have to find a quote. . .

Found a quote

Here's another one:

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

The greatest gift a man can give his children is to love their Mother.

Oooh, LadyCarolyn, I've always loved that one!

Here are a couple:

A father carries pictures where his money used to be. ~Author Unknown

Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad
~Proverb quotes

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! -Lydia M. Child

It is much easier to become a father than to be one. -Kent Nerburn

[nachtstern]

I'm so bad.... the first thing I thought at the word "father" was:

“My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.”
The Princess Bride
:doh: :lol:

But I do like

“I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.”
Imelda Marcos

Just bringing this back up!!! Did we pick one yet?

[lbjiowa]

We've all just doing one of our own choosing ... OR ... you could chose one that others have posted ... come to think of it, I think that sounds fun! I'm off to add a couple from previous posts!

[lbjiowa]

Only a few days left til Father's Day ... for those who have chosen to do a quote/word art based on that theme!!! (ok ... I admit it ... mine is still pretty rough, but it WILL be done and posted by Wed AM! ... if I could just do something to make it quit raining here in Iowa so I could quit bailing the water out of the basement long enough to play on the computer!)
