Confessions of a Photographer: I love to doodle...

I love to doodle. I doodle all the time. I doodle during staff meetings... I doodle during church... I doodle when I'm sitting and there is a paper and pen in front of me. I don't doodle because I am distracted or anything, it actually helps me think and focus on what is going on. I am applying myself to something and therefore my brain is actually processing more. From what I understand this is called 'kinesthetic' learning, but don't quote me on that.

Anyways, there are plenty of photos and cards I've seen with the cute overlays of hand drawn things, and I've wanted to have that myself. I'm in no way a professional drawer... nor do I even claim to be a good drawer... I am a DOODLER. And although my father is like the KING of doodling (seriously... I've wanted to frame some of his work note doodles) I am just a simple 'draw yourself a flower' kind of gal. But I love the look of hand written or drawn items placed over photos.

So I messed around some with a new app on my iPad called iFontMaker {click here} and I am definitely having fun! The app is actually to create your own font... but I used it to make overlay shapes for photos and whatnot. It was my first time and I worked on it for just a little while... but here are a few pictures I put together with the "letters" I came up with! All the little doodles and extras were made using the app. And please remember I just threw these together... I literally spend about 10 minutes on the four of these photos.

What do you think?
