My husband lets me buy as much scrapbooking stuff as I can hide...
If you were inspired to journal more by one of my previous posts, and cannot bear to use your own handwriting, then journal on your computer and print it on a piece of cardstock, vellum, or transparancy. I will tell you step by step how to download new fonts from the internet, to use in your documents.
First, you create a new folder on your desktop, and you 'rename' it to 'downloads', or 'fonts'. This makes it easier to find them later.
You can Google the words "free Fonts". You will get lots of websites. Also, you could go to a local website called Scrapkits. There you click on 'Free Stuff". Once you have found the fonts you want to download, you click on the 'download' option. It will then give the option to 'open', 'save' or 'cancel'. Choose 'save'. It will then ask you where, and you will select the folder you created for it. Click on 'save' again. You can then close it all, and download the next. Continue downloading and saving in your folder until you are finished. You can now disconnect from the internet if you want to.
Now you go to 'My Computer', to 'Control Panel', and you open a folder called 'Fonts". You 'drag and drop' or 'copy and paste' the fonts icons out of your new folder, into this folder. This step is very important, as your computer only looks for fonts here.
When you are finished, you can open a new document, and select any of your new fonts. Have fun!
