I'm so excited to be a part of the Simply Lettering Blog Hop, which celebrates the launch of this brand new magazine. Issue one will be available to buy in stores on July 18th or you can order your copy from CraftStash. You can find a full list of retailers and international options here.
Simply Lettering is the UK’s first magazine dedicated to hand lettering and modern calligraphy, covering everything from beautiful cards and home décor to journaling and planners.
I will be a regular contributor to the magazine, where I will share my passion for journaling and lettering, along with lots of tutorials. I can't wait!
To celebrate the launch, Simply Lettering have teamed up with a plethora of lovely handlettering and journaling bloggers to take you on a week long blog hop and giveaway and to inspire you to take a little time out of your busy schedules and try your hand at modern calligraphy.
Today it’s my turn!
In this blog post, I am going to show you some of my favourite ways to decorate my hand-lettering. It's quick and easy, plus it's a great way to distract from any less than perfect wobbly lines!
I love incorporating handlettering into my journaling pages, as it really helps key words to stand out and is a great way to add your own style.
If you decide to subscribe to my blog, then you will receive a password to access my free printables, which includes a brush lettering worksheet.
Anyway, let's get back to the blog hop and wonderful goodies that are up for grabs.

Good luck and I can't wait to hear what you think of the new magazine, Helen x
Really enjoying all the blogs, especially this one. Find them so inspiring.
I like the journal with the dotted lines instead of solid lines, bc even as a beginner, you can make it look nice. Your work is lovely.
This is so inspring and beautiful! Have subscribed to the mag and would love to try journalling but not quite sure where to start...
So great to discover all these new people and pages. As a beginner I need all the help I can get!
Love seeing all this content. Definitely motivating me to get started!
