A great
advantage to digital scrapbooking is the ability to
customize your scrapbooking pages. One great way to add
a little personality to your pages is through fonts.
Fonts can be used for page titles or for journaling.
Many people have told me that they would love to use fun
and creative fonts, but it is just too expensive and
complicated!
|
|
|
The
truth is some of the funniest fonts for scrapbooking can
be found for absolutely free and really are quit easy to
install. Keep reading to find out my favorite spots for
free fonts and what to do with your fonts once you find
them. |
Downloading
And Installing Your Fonts!
|
|
Once
you've found a font you like, the first step is to
download the font. Each font site is a little different,
but in most cases you will either click on the font
itself or on a download button. Your download should
start automatically. Click "Open". |
|
|
Now that your file has
downloaded you will need to unzip it. This is the same
process you use for opening our digital scrapbooking files.
Simply click "Extract all files" under the Folder Tasks
menu. The Extract Wizard will open. Click "Next" and
choose the location you want to save your new fonts to.
Then "Finish" |
|
Once
your font is downloaded to your computer it is time to install.
Click the "Start" button located at the bottom left of
your screen. Then click the control panel and open the
"Font" folder. |
 |
 |
With the
"Font" folder open all you need to do is drag your newly
downloaded font into the "Font" folder. You can also
copy and paste the new font into the "Font" folder. What
ever is easiest for you. |
|
Now
for the fun part, using your font. Before you can use you new fonts, you may
have to restart you photo editing program. Then just type in what you want to
say and from the font menu choose your new font. How easy is that! |
