"Font"astic Creations

There are so many wonderful fonts out there, and they're freefreefree for the taking. It does take a bit of time to download a whole collection and add it to the fonts in Word, but it's well worth the time and effort.

I recently downloaded fonts from MissTiina and Fonts101, and I'm amazed at all the cool stuff I got! Not only can a good font serve to change the tone of your writing, it can become a project in itself.

These little doodles are actually the letter "B" in MTFDoodlewhats from Fonts101. By simply pressing a single key on the keyboard, you get this little string of hearts! I just added Auto Shapes to frame the image. Prior to the edit, it looked like this:

You can make them any color you want, because they behave just like a letter.
Take a look at some of the other neat characters in Doodlewhats

 Each of the words in this font is achieved with the single stroke of a letter on the keyboard. Wild. Love it.

The Sweet Nature font at MissTiina is filled with adorable little shapes.


Any of these shapes, when enlarged, makes a darling little picture all by itself.

Imagine the projects with this collection!

Here are a few more to whet your creative appetite....

                                         Heart Sketches, just in time for Valentine creations!

And using the fonts above, a little creation from a combination of them:


 It's amazing what you can do with fonts. The great thing about them is that there are so many FREE fonts available. There are also some good tutorials for adding them to your existing font collection. This one is especially easy to follow.
