Do you like your handwriting and would prefer to have your handwriting personalized in your scrapbook? Some scrapbooking experts like to keep their work clean so making erasures and unlined quotes on the scrapbook may not be such a good idea. Still, because other people have excellent handwriting, using handwriting as one of your scrapbooking ideas may give your scrapbook an eccentric and classical look.
While some scrapbooking ideas use cover-ups such as cardstock or patterned paper for erasures, but for this, having actual erasures may even make the layout look more classical and authentic.
Borderline Handwriting
Have you seen all those cool love letters where the writing is written only around the sides until it meets the center? Although, it's a very distracting and dizzying way to layout your scrapbook, the idea of using borderline handwriting can actually make your scrapbook ancient and vintage. You can even add burn marks on the side for a more classical, edgy look. Better yet, instead of just writing random stuff, why not create a poem or a sonnet to write on the borders? Thus, when reading, it'll be more interesting.
Random Handwriting
An even simpler way to use handwriting as your layout is to simply hand write random quotes and thoughts. Don't even worry about erasures; simply double stripe your mistakes for the original, neat but erased look. Keep the writing at random positions and make whatever you write interesting. This gives the scrapbook a cute, diary-like appearance. Add small figures and drawings for an even more classic and authentic look.
