Confessions of a Scrapbook Addict

So I have to confess (and I only finally did confess to Zach) that I bought about $200 in fonts when Scrap N Fonts retired all the CK fonts from their website back at the beginning of May. Only to later find out that CK is now offering some of their fonts for free on Fridays on their blog. I hate it when that happens. So as soon as I clicked “confirm purchase” I said to myself, this is ridiculous, I’ll never use all these fonts.

I downloaded the font thing tonight (http://members.ozemail.com.au/~scef/tft.html) its freeware that lets you view all fonts installed on your computer with sample text or all the characters in the set. I discovered that have about 1000 fonts. Needless to say I won’t be getting any more fonts any time soon.

If you’re interested, there are some cool sites out there for free fonts. Here are a few: http://www.dafont.com/ http://www.fontface.com/ http://www.kevinandamanda.com/fonts (these are cool handwriting fonts) http://www.1font.com/

So, what have you bought and thought to yourself, what was I thinking?

I'm looking forward to this weekend. My friend Audrey & I are going to a wonderful scrapbook retreat in Palm Desert (http://desertscrappers.samsbiz.com/) organized by the wonderful Laura Miller. I'm taking Friday off work to go, which is awesome because I've been working WAY too much lately and not creating nearly enough.

I did make it to a crop a few weeks ago. Here are a couple of pics of some of the pages I completed that day.



I like the simplicty of this page.


This page was fun. I was showing some of the girls at the crop how I like to sew on my pages. Plus I like how the rub on turned out.













My beautiful cousin. Again, simple, a little doodling.
