Hiya! Happy Easter everyone! I hope you have have a lovely day whatever you are up to. I’m excited that 36 days of type is starting on Monday. I hope you will participate with me and follow me on Instagram. It will be so much fun! I really enjoy this challenge to create a letter a day. I have been participating since 2016. Last year I chose one color palette and used it on all 36 letters. I thought it would save me the time of choosing a color palette each day but I found it quite limiting, so I will be choosing a different color palette for each letter.

How did you spend your Christmas?

Unfortunately the Christmas cards I designed, which I ordered on November 27th didn’t arrive until December 24th. Because of the postal backup it didn’t leave me any time to mail them so I guess I have a jump on next Christmas.
