I love challenging myself and a new year is a great time to start something new. I have been hand lettering for about 2 years now, and I think I am ready to delve deeper into the lettering world. For the year of 2018, I’m going to focus more on lettering quotes and longer phrases and these are quotes that I have chosen. They are happy and motivational and I love writing down such words. If you are not a letterer feel free to use these as inspiration for any kind of art!

This project can be anything YOU want it to be. You can make a book of it as I often do (check out my previous challenges 30 days of happiness quotes and  30ThankfulQuotes ) or you can simply write down these happy inspirational quotes each week on a scrap piece of paper and tack it onto your wall. Anything works as long as you are writing the words and enjoying the process.
