Font-Free Scrapbooking
A font is described as a digital typeface. Font-free scrapbooking is creating a scrapbook without the use of the computer.
It is relatively easy to create a scrapbook page using downloaded and printed fonts, although it would be more personal and unique to write journal-style entries in your scrapbook. Some people aren't confident enough with their penmanship, but with the popularity of scrapbooking, they can now choose from a wide selection of templates and stickers to create great-looking pages.
There are four basic items that a scrapbooker can use if he or she wishes do a font-free scrapbook.
1. Templates
You can choose from several variations of alphabet templates. They are available in different sizes, and you just have to select the most appropriate template for your scrapbook. Once you have selected a theme, you can layout the page first and trace the letters from the template using a pencil. After making sure you have created a good layout, you can then use a marker with archival quality ink to trace the letters permanently.
2. Stickers
There are several companies that produce letter stickers that you can use for the scrapbook. Some companies create sets of words for theme pages, such as "It's my birthday," or "Graduation day," being the more common themes. All you have to do is select the design to match the theme in mind and stick the labels in the appropriate places. It should be mentioned though that not all companies produce acid-free stickers, so you need to check the label for the words"acid-free."
3. Stamps
Stamps are created in a variety of designs. Most stamps also use archival-quality ink in different colors. You need to make sure that it is using acid-free paper for the photos and the stamp designs, because even if you are using scrapbook-safe ink, the paper may easily deteriorate and become brittle if it is not photo-safe or acid-free.
4. Die-cut designs
Similar to stickers, die-cut designs are glued onto the scrapbook page. There are several die-cut designs available online. The designs are printed on thin sheets of paper, plastic, or thin rubber matting, and you only have to cut the design and paste it onto the scrapbook page.
While these materials are easily available online and at various arts & crafts stores nationwide, you can also "go commando" and write the entries using markers or special pens to make your scrapbooks more special.
