Kevin and Amanda Fonts/Fonts for Peas

I am a fontaholic. I might as well admit it. I spend more time in a layout deciding on fonts and creating word art than I do editing and placing photos. I have 579 to browse through at the moment just to find that "perfect look". It is quite disgusting. But there's no stopping me... if I still can't find what I'm looking for in my massive index of fonts, I go online and find it... and download 50 more fonts in the process.

My first site for fonts, www.dafont.com, provided me with endless hours of font happiness, but what I was missing was a large index of cute and realistic handwritten font for all my journaling needs. I have no desire to have one created using my own handwriting... it is boring at best and hideous if I'm going fast. Instead, I rely on the cute, perky, and artistic scripts of others who are more skilled in that area than I am to capture my memories. I had a few keepers from www.dafont.com but if it's not my handwriting, why use the same font over and over? BORING!!!!

So imagine my glee at discovering Kevin and Amanda Free Scrapbook Fonts and Fonts For Peas last week! Their lovely website hosts hundreds of adorable fonts just perfect for scrapping purposes! Fonts for Peas specifically is font after font of the cutest handwritten fonts you have ever seen!

Here is an example of 3 of their fonts in use(Bosshole, Pea Kassidy and Pea Faye)
