New Here with Font Question

just a thought here....and I have started to use my computer with different fonts for journaling too....but I also believe you should do some handwritten journaling too..not on every page or anything but intermittently....my mom passed away 2 1/2 years ago and I realized that I have very few things with her writing on it...so now I make it a point to write on some of may pages and use the computer fonts on some too...and when my grandfather passed away - we went through so much stuff and the same thing....I don't have a lot of his personal handwriting on things, but the few things that I do have ...it's so cool !!! Plus just think a hundred years from now...words are going to be used differently and it's just kinda cool to have old things handwritten by you or your relatives...sorry this is so long

Alicia, I'm going to e-mail you a link to a page with installing instructions. If you need more help, feel free to e-mail me. Do you need help downloading or just making them work once you've got them?

Thanks Everyone SOOO much. I started to download fonts and it is already so addicting now I just have to actually use them! HA! I am going to try now - send me some scrapbooking vibes need to get stated on a baby album before he is 18 years old. LOL

Alicia, I wish you didn't live so far away! I would come over and show you, it's pretty easy ( and I am a computer doofus!) once you learn how.

I love the CK Lettering Combo!! Highly recommend it.

I still can't figure out how to download free fonts on to my computer so I havent' used any. LOL.

You can email me at [email protected]! Thanks!!

Oh, I see now you have no e-mail address posted. Well, I will wait and see if one of the lovely Davis's (?) will reply if it is okay to post those sites here then.

Why on EARTH would anyone want to pay for fonts? Do you know how many free font sites are out there? And there are TONS of great fonts on each one, not to mention dingbats. I am a new fontaholic. I love fonts. I just don't wanna pay for them. I know we are not supposed to post live links on here,but I wonder is it okay if it is not something that competes w/scrapbook.com, like free font sites? Anyway, I will gather up a list for you and send you an e-mail, or you can just go to a search engine like Google and type in free fonts.

You can type them straight out in Word for journaling, or use WordArt for titles. I use a lightbox a lot to trace fonts onto cardstock or I trace onto vellum. If black will work, though, I print directly onto the cardstock or vellum.

Thanks Ladies- I am going to have to check out your website thank you so much!

Lane - I was looking into getting the CK CD but did not know if it was worth it? Do you have it? Would you buy it again?

Depending on finances, you can also get the Creative Lettering Ck Combo CD or you can get a journal genie cd for journaling. Good Luck with your new baby!

There's some links to free font sites on my webpage in the scrapbooking section.

Yes, I know the e-mail address on my page doesn't match the one in my profile here. That one's for junk mail and newletters, [email protected] is for real people. Feel free to e-mail me if you want some beginner's hints on getting better results from search engines when looking for free fonts.

Most printer inks are acid free but not fade resistent. 2 ways to overcome this are to trace the letters from the printout with an acid free pen or to look for fade resistent ink. I'm pretty sure Hewlett Packard has fade-resistent ink cartirdges available now and a few months ago I saw an ad for fade -resistent refill kits in the ads in the back of CK.

Hi All -
I am new here but not to scrapbooking! Have a question - Any of you use a font program to print titles and journaling. I have never used computer fonts in my scrapbooks but bc I just had my first baby time wise I think I need to put my comp and printer to work for me to save sometime. Any font programs you can recommend or even better some free sites with fonts to download? Any advice would be very helpful
Thanks
