   Hey Maizy

   This is fullbugs gal otherwise known as Tracey the Scrapping Addict! Thanks for the resources I am having a ball! I have ton of links as well posted on Delicious if you search Scrapbooking. Also I am not sure if you are interested but I have many artistic fonts like trains etc. I also wanted to let you know that there is a scrapbook thread on youtube which is great for videos. And you would have to check your own cable listings but there is also a show called scrapbook memories on my 163 which is Detroit Public Tv. Scrap memories has an accompanying website http://www.scrapbookmemoriestv.com They have instructional things for all the project they do on the show

   Not sure if you are on messenger but if you are and want to talk scrap you can find me at ** Contact details removed - see Forum RULES **;

   Hello Tracey the Scrapping Addict! Believe it or not, I've never used del.icio.us. Because of your post, today is the first time I've ever looked at it. There's loads of resources there. Your interest in scrapbooking is way beyond mine. I've collected links and downloaded hundreds of embellishments, kits, mini-kits, templates, etc. with the "thought" of maybe using them someday. I've only actually created about 10 pages using Paint Shop Pro 9. I'm a procrastinator...someday.

   I do have a lot of fonts, including dingbat and picture fonts installed on my PC. Have you seen the thread here, Font Freaks Untie!!! ....um, I mean Unite!!!? It's a great resource. I've loved fonts since before PCs and even found some old books from the 40's and 50's showing assorted decorative lettering styles. I used to sandblast designs into glass and mirrors and I'd use photocopies from these old books to make stencils. Did the same thing for making silk screens for T-shirts, hats, etc..

   I have a friend with three children ages 5, 10 & 12. She brought about half of the traditional scrapbooks she'd made for her kids to the house one day. There were about 15 books! I don't know how she finds the time with 3 kids, all of their activities, a full-time job and taking care of her home.

   BTW, someone will probably remove your IM address. Posting personal info here is a no-no. :)

   Hey Maizy

   Glad I turned you onto Delicious its a great resource for anything not just scrapping! The beauty of the site is also that you can access (once you have added them) all of your Favourites/Bookmarks from any computer.

   Thanks for letting me know about the font thread! My guy is excellent at telling me about or finding anything scrap related so I have checked it out!

   Sorry for posting my IM I am new round here and wasn't aware that its a no no.

   Take care and happy scrapping
   Tracey

   Tracey, I see that Dover Publications is giving 60% off, but only for a limited time, on all of their bargain titles. There are some neat papercraft books here. A lot of their terrific graphics on CD-ROM and/or in books are on sale too.

    You may want to try Scrapbook Flair .. which has a scrapbook software download that includes textures, backgrounds, embellishments, doodads and whatnots. Themes are frequently issued for holidays; challenges and groups abound. Loads of free graphics.

    You can use your own graphics, too, if you are so inclined. After your page is finished, you can post it online at the Scrapbook Flair community for feedback or even have the good folks at SBF do a high-quality page and/or scrapbook printing job for you. Find them here: http://scrapbookflair.com/

    Vintage Kin has some very nice graphics especially suitable for genealogy or 'old-timey' scrapbook pages. You can check them out here: http://www.vintagekin.com/

    Try About dot com's Desktop Publishing section, http://desktoppub.about.com/od/fonteditors/Font_Software_for_Creating_Fonts.htm

    Foam Train has a terrific font design article here: http://www.owlsoup.com/foamtrain/howto.html

    Here are two free programs:

    FontForge http://fontforge.sourceforge.net
    Noah http://mywebpage.netscape.com/yeahnoah

    You'll probably need a bitmap > EPS converter, which can be found at sites like Free Download Manager, among others.

    Another nice site is RAKScraps. Each month, they put out a newsletter with links to a couple of free kits. The RAKFile link contains all back issues in PDF format. I just downloaded some kits today from issues as far back as October 2007. There were more available from their sponsors listed at the bottom of each newsletter.

    OOoo Maizey! Nice site! That one is completely new to me. Guess I can return the favor with Circle of Crafters, where you can find kindred spirits interested in crafts like scrapbooking, sewing, card making, tea bag folding, iris folding and more. Free patterns, too.

    yoooohoooo Fullbug! Tracey might like some of those, too Ý
