Favorite Fonts - Top picks for legible and free script fonts
I’m excited to tell you all about my favorite script fonts today. My previous post on the best basic & free journaling fonts was very popular and I definitely want to continue on this series. I see so many posts out there recommending hard-to-read fonts. I’ve made thousands of scrapbook pages over the years (both paper and digital), taught scrapbooking classes, written for instructive scrapbooking sites, and been a digital designer. I’ve looked at A LOT of text and fonts over the years and have put a great deal of thought and study into my own font choices. It’s tempting to just download all the amazing fonts out there, especially when they are free. If you love fonts, go ahead and download to your hearts content, but be sure to do some research and figure out which ones look the best. Focus on readability above all else. It will make a huge difference in your projects!
Quotes that inspire
I’ve had a strangely busy week for someone who is still staying home all the time. On top of that, we went without internet for about 8 hours yesterday because of a Xfinity outage. I’m so dependent on the internet that it kind of messed with my entire day. I might need to work on that just a bit. lol!
Speaking of the internet, I sure love it for inspiration. I love searching for quotes and pinning them to Pinterest. I’ve been working on this board for years and thought this would be a good day to share a few of my favorites.

How to use GIFS to Instagram Stories
I’ve taught myself a lot of technology tricks over the years, but I have to admit that Instagram Stories were a little hard for me to figure out at first. My daughter Riley had to walk me through how to add GIFS to stories so I asked her if she could share her knowledge here as well. She helped put together this awesome step-by-step visual tutorial. I hope you find it as helpful as I did! Be sure to check out my Instagram feed and stories as I’m posting to both a lot more these days.
Why scrapbooks and scrapbooking are important for mental health
Scrapbooking can be therapeutic for the person creating the page or album. A scrapbook can be therapeutic for the person looking at the album. While photo albums are also nice, I believe that it’s even more important to be able to read the thoughts and memories that go with the photos so I’m a firm believer in scrapbooks. That can still include photo albums if you do pocket style scrapping that includes journaling on the photos or on separate cards.
I have A LOT of experience in these areas so I’m excited to share a five really key points:
