Font Lovers Unite!

Image from https://www.pixstacks.com/all-about-fonts

Fonts are so fun and a great way to enhance our scrapbooking layouts.  I’m often asked about fonts and where to find them.   Here’s some of my go-to places.

• What the Font!  Have you ever wondered what a specific font is?  This is a great tool that helps to identify fonts from an image that you upload.
• Best Fonts!  There are tons a great places to find fonts.  Once you know the name of what you’re looking for, just search for that and see what comes up.  Here are the websites that I trust and use:
  • DaFont
  • The Hungry jpg – lots of freebies here and often with both personal and commercial use licenses.
  • Font Bundles – another site with lots of freebies!
  • Kimberly Geswein makes fonts and has great resourses on her website.  You can also download all her free fonts in a single download from here.
• I also have made my handwriting into a font using Your Fonts.
• I recently learned about iFontMaker for making your own fonts.  It’s only available for Apple or Windows systems.

As I learn about more, I’ll continue to add to this post.  Comment with your favorites!

Staying Crafty While At Home This Month

I know that many have some extra time to fill while at home over the next few weeks.  Here’s some no (or low) cost crafty ideas that have come across my desk.  I’ll add to this list as I learn about more.  Feel free to add your ideas to the comments!

Creative Memories has started their own TV Channel – CMTV. 
By the way, if you wish to buy some CM stuff, please use my link here.  Thanks, in advance!

Every March there’s a free scrapbooking challenge called Calvinball based off the same named cartoon/book.  Although points are accrued, it’s still fun to join at any time of the month!  Click here for more info.

I’ve only recently discovered Brit+Co and their classes are free through the end of the month.  Here’s their info about that.  The catch is that you have to enjoy/view them by the end of the month as well.

I love my traveler’s notebook and I think Layle Koncar is one of the best.  She’s doing free classes the next two Saturdays and I hope to join in on these!  Click here for more info.

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day and I’m spending it at our new mountain house doing a bunch of yard work.  As I mentioned last month, the Tree of Life at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite parts of that park.

However now that Pandora is open at the same park it’s even more interesting and fun!   Avatar is one of our favorite movies and the environmental theme is really thought provoking.  I’m so glad that Disney Parks is taking that theme to heart and has so many initiatives to promote conservation, including some great solar initiatives!  Click here to read all about those.

Layout a Day: LOAD218

It’s almost time for another month of layouts!  I’m truly looking forward to LOAD218-Choose Your Own Scrapbook Adventure.   From what I can tell, we’re going to be able to choose from a variety of prompts each day.  I love having choices so this sounds really right up my alley!

I’m currently getting organized using Historian.  I’m loading my pictures from the past several months as well as tagging them and giving them star ratings.  I find this helps me stay on track during LOAD and allows me to focus more time on scrapbooking.

Did you know that LOAD218 is open to anyone and everyone?  If you’re looking to kick start your scrapbooking for this year, consider this challenge.  There’s no judgement for doing one layout or all 28 or something in between.  It’s still more than nothing.  So what are you waiting for?  Join us!  Make your commitment in the comments and then go sign up.
