All members that participate, can everyone PLEASE ensure that you read all the rules for this challenge
so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you! :)

Hello. My name is Laura. I will be your host for this month's challenge! I LOVE fonts. Fonts are very important in the design of your layout. For example, if it is too artsy, you may not be abler to read the journaling. But, sometimes the words are irrelevant and only added to create a mood or artistic nature. I find that mixing up the fonts can really add a kick to your layout.

For this challenge, I would like for you to use at least 2 different fonts together in your layout. Here are some examples on how to do this:
1. It can be done by created a word art element with a standard type and cursive type. Here is an example:


2. You can add interest to your journaling by accenting words to quickly show the message you are trying to communicate, while telling a more elaborate story with the regular font. Here is an example.

3. You can use fonts as your template or frame. Here is an example


4. You can use fonts to create a background texture in your paper. Here is an example.

5. Add a style to your font to add dimension and interest. Here is an example of using the shadow style to add depth:





RULES:
- Use two (or more) different fonts in your layout to create a word art or add interest to your layout or journaling.
- Please use 80% Oscraps products that are currently in the store.

I have been making a series of pages to remember our recent vacation, and have used three fonts: A loose, cursive style for the main heading, a standard looking serif font for the sub-heading and, in a smaller size, for the journaling, and a hand-written style for occasional notes on the photos themselves.

I like mixing fonts for titles, so that's what I did, as well as applying some styles to the title. Thanks for the fun challenge!

Thank you for the challenge. I LOVE fonts and one of mu favorite page design elements is black dymo word strips - I love the way they add contrast and depth to a cluster and draw the eye to a part of the layout.

They are created using two fonts layered one on top of the other:
fzm Embossed Text Light + fzm Embossed Label

The other fonts used are:
1871 Dreamer Script - journaling
MeathFLF - the title
