More Fantastic Font Finds For Your Scrapbooking

Journaling is something that is often put off until the layout is finished in every other way. If you do this too, you are certainly not alone.

Instead of seeing the beautiful photos and realizing what a great layout I did, I see that horrible handwriting and wish I could will it away. Of course, … Continue reading →
