Tags and Design Inside It...

I am always a fan of scrapbook tags, they are useful in many ways. Like using them in a book to remind you of the last page you have read, on scrapbooks, you can put a name on it or a label, you can also just place it on a page for design and etc.

I was scanning through my scrapbook folder last night and I opened up this one with nine tags with different shades and design and I thought to share it with you guys. I do hope you are into tags as well. So here is the set, hope you like it!

Second Scrap Set : hearts and flowers are the best!!!

My first scrap set was published way way back I guess three months before and that it was published not on this blog but instead on my primary one with the jeanbeltran.info one. Check it out here!

This second scrap set was actually created a few months before and it was created just after I was finished doing with the first set unfortunately, I was unable to publish it right away for some reasons. I also had added other things up here. Before, it only started to be with those hearts and circle tags but then as time pass by, I decided to also add some background papers or those that are use for backgrounds. I also added up some tags while still leaving the hearts and flowers theme here.

This is a sample scrap page that I have created for this specific scrap set. You too can create your own. Happy scrapbooking!

Neon-colored Scrapbook Tags

For today, I would like to share to you this cool tags that I have created today.

I was inspired by this little flower brushes so I decided to create something that is appealing and eye catcher. I then selected neon colors since they are attractive and glowing.

Aside from the flowers, I was also encouraged to pen tool and play with it, the scrap1 tag has been created using pen tool and fill tool still sticking with the color theme.

Camera Film Template


Hello guys, my last post of a free template seems like history so I decided to create a simple yet attractive one today. I called this "Camera Film" because there's a camera and a film on the template. I like the combination of the template and its cute since you can also paste some photos on the film.

My Top 10 fave fonts


In relation to my last post about fonts "I *heart* Free Fonts", I like to share my top 10 favorite fonts, I consider them my favorites because they are those that I use mostly when I am documenting something or when I make templates, they are the fonts that I add in there. 

Starting with “James Fajardo”, not because the name is the same as my boyfriend’s but because I found it simple and it works in all themes. It is like black that works in all designs, well that’s my opinion. Take a look at my “Star String Photo Template”, it was that same font.

Here is “Champignon Alt Swash”, as what my research says, Champignon is a French word for Mushroom and Swash is a typographical flourish on a glyph, like an exaggerated serif. So the font is a Mushroom Serif, that’s what my instinct is telling me. I love the curls on the end of the letters like J and I love how it compliments each letter. I used this font for my main blog at www.jeanbeltran.info. I think it suits my name perfectly, whatcha think? Hehehe :)

I *heart* Free Fonts

I love fonts, i love to work with fonts, i love to download free fonts.

Are you also into fonts? Well, I am madly in love with fonts, in almost all of my works or creations, I place fonts on it. I usually use handwriting fonts, it's like i wrote them myself, the only difference is that it is digitally made. When I go online and search for free fonts, I can't help but click on the download buttons, what could be more lovelier than those that are for free? So my baby, i am referring to my laptop here, is already full of external fonts, I call them external because they were not the default ones.

The only problem that I get when I use those customized fonts is when I publish those writings or compositions outside and unfortunately, other pc's don't have those fonts installed to theirs. So, in that case, I still need to install it myself. Anyways, installing a font is definitely easily as a piece of cake. Let me help you if you don't know how.

Here, download a font first, say you like to have "James Fajardo" on your pc, I have downloaded mine here. If you want to have it, then just click on the link

Click on the free download button and then save it on either your documents or on your desktop, or anywhere you like to save it as long as you can remember where it was located.

After downloading it, just go to the specific folder which contains the file. Say, for my case, I saved it on my downloads folder under my documents. So I opened it up and copied the file, ctrl + C or highlight the file, go to edit, then click on copy. Once done, go to control panel, then go to Fonts folder, just to remind you, I am using windows xp for this. Here is a screen shot:
