A new Color Stories collection - Beautiful Blues
I’m so excited to introduce another collection in my Color Stories series. This time it’s all about Beautiful Blues! I’ve always loved blue and would definitely rank it as one of my very favorite colors. This collection is so versatile and you will be able to use the pieces for many different types of layouts and projects. It’s all up in the shop now and be sure to watch for my newsletter later today because there will be a little something fun for you there!
Technical Difficulties
I’ve got a brand new tutorial to share and I’m really excited about it. I’ve literally spent days and days working on it and I was waiting til everyone went to bed tonight to record it so there wouldn’t be any background noise. I had some difficulty getting my video segments to record properly and finally got that worked out by about 11:15 p.m. No sweat, everything was ready to go and I just needed to hit record and go through everything I had prepared. Suddenly, the microphone wouldn’t appear in my list of devices. I had tested it several times throughout the evening so I have no idea what happened. I’m now writing this at 1:00 a..m. and I have to admit defeat for now and head to bed.
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.

A brand new series and a brand new collection
I’m so inspired by color and I’ve had the idea for a Color Stories series for a long time now. It’s so exciting to finally be introducing this collection. Of course, I had to start with Black & White because they go with everything! I think you will find these designs to be extremely versatile and easy to use on a wide variety of layouts.
