Explore the art of lettering with guidance from Hayley and Smart Trace technology! First, practice some basic "calligraphy" strokes with some brush-tip markers, then use the text editor to create and loosely trace a word or phrase in an elegant cursive font, and finally, use your tracing as a guide to create beautiful lettering that you can apply to journaling, greeting cards, and more creative projects. Tap "Tools" to learn what you'll need for this live creative break.
