My Light Box

I love my light box, it makes me look good. I bought it at Hobby Lobby a few years ago, well, maybe it was longer than that. The original price was only $9.99 and I used my trusty 40% off coupon. It is 9" x 5 1/2" and I have never replaced the bulb under it. Since I don't have a 12" wide printer I have to print the name onto a sheet of paper and trace it onto my scrapbook page. Did I tell you I am a Font Nerd? I love fonts and I have hundreds of different fonts, most I have gotten from 1001fronts.com. First I tape the copy onto the light box and then I roll a piece of tape under onto its self and place it under the scrap book paper to hold it in place. You should be able to see through it. Card stock is pretty thick and I usually can't see through it. Then I pick my pen, I have a ball point pen, an ultra fine Sharpie and a fine Sharpie. This font is pretty thick so I used the fine Sharpie. I trace it, pull it off and touch it up. It's not perfect and I don't want it to be. This font is "Girls are Weird", love it!
