    O clementina gostava de saber como se usa as fontes no pic monkey eu não tenho photoshop e muitas pessoas também não, sei tirar as fontes, instalar, depois acabou, porque no photoshop vai directo, mas nos outros editores não vai tem de ser manual, e no pick Monkey vem l´uma parte quando é para escrever, onde diz as vossas fontes, mas não sei como fazer? tenho percorrido quase toda os blogs e em nenhum existe um tutorial a explicar, é possível, fazer um tutorial ?
    brigado e obrigado por partilhar maravilhas, simplicityviralbeauty.blogspot.com é o meu novo blog ando numa luta diária para ser melhor, o tempo o dira, amei as letras escova, são lindas, gostava muito de usar, mas tenho este problema, se me poder ajudar agradecia muito, e claro os créditos eram seus.
    Tenha uma boa semana

    Can’t wait to get started these are some great resources! I was recently inspired to research hand lettering and brush lettering when I stumbled on this book:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600583970/ref=s9_wish_gw_d32_g14_i5?ie=UTF8&colid=38BRD1V3I3FZR&coliid=I3K6MXHIJEXCKT&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0JJZ3Y1WCDSNBJ811W4J&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop

    It’s fantastic for inspiration!
