I was busy creating a header image for a friend’s website when I cam across this font. I thought that is was really cute and would be a great scrapbooking font because of the “i” that is not dotted. By the “i” not being dotted it simply screams to be completed with use of a scrapbooking embellishment as the dot. I immediately thought of stickers, buttons, brads or flowers. You could come up with and some of you own ideas using your own unique creativity. Dotting the “i”with an embellishment is sure to make an interesting accent.
