Here are five of the best free fonts that I use all the time:
- Plastique from DaFont: Gives you that “punch label” feeling every time! Go ahead make some labels for your pages. This is a really fun font, just put a colored rectangle behind it and away you go! The sample page below features both this font and the next in it.
- Problem Secretary, also from DaFont: is a great text font for your pages. It comes in a normal (straighter) version or the “problem” version which is kind of a wavy baseline. Loooove this font. Also great for labels and tags. See above page sample to see it in action in the title and tag.
- Pea Karen’s Doodles from Fonts For Peas: This is a great hand-drawn doodly font from which I especially love the arrows, the lowercase “p” being my favorite. See how I used it in the picture below.
- The King & Queen also from DaFont: This is a great font for your girl pages or for fun invitations and formal lettering projects. It looks great with metallic layer styling applied, too, as you can see in my sample page below.
- Your Own Handwriting! turned into a font. This has to be one of the coolest sites for digital scrapbookers as you can add your own actual handwriting to your pages now. You have to download a template, fill it out and scan it back to them. You can create multiple fonts, though. Just think: printed, cursive, doodles, whatever! Here’s the sample of mine:

Life has gotten a little bit in the way recently, but now I am back in action! I’ve been listing much stuff on eBay, Etsy and Bonanzle, and been designing some new logos and such. An eBay store logo project for VeryDesperateHousewife.com produced this logo for her store:
Also just finished the holiday/seasonal graphics for the Bonanzle homepage. This is very cool as the site receives over a million unique views a month! Thanks to Bill Harding, founder of Bonanzle, for personally requesting the job.
