I have a large scrapbook but my printer can’t accomodate its large pages. I wanted to do some journaling on my computer (because I **** my handwriting) and print it out, but because I can’t print directly on the scrapbook paper, I’m not sure what to do. Any ideas?

has a lot of resources on this subject.

You can also go to yahoo and search “free fonts” or “free scrapbooking fonts” and then download them to your computer. You will find your pc’s font folder by going to start, control panel, and then fonts. (If you have Windows XP, you will want to “change to classic version” when you get to the control panel). Once you find the folder, it is just a matter of dragging and dropping into that folder.

If you can print on 8.5×11 paper, then try to use the “landscape” set-up in word. This will allow you to use your paper sideways, and then you will be able to print a title that is nearly 11 inches long (which will look just fine on your 12×12 paper, I do it all the time) To do this, go to microsoft word, then go to file, page set up and choose landscape. Once you do that, you can make a text box and do your title.

GOOD LUCK!

What I do is figure out how big I want my journaling block (use a ruler to measure) I then go into a word processing doc and in page setup I set the size of my custom page — ie if my journaling is 2 inches by 3 inches I go into page set up and set my custom page size to 2.2 and 3.2 (to accommodate margins)

I then type out my journaling and print it on a regular piece of paper. Now cut a scrap of scrapbooking cardstock, velum, transparency etc to the right dimensions of your journaling block and using a couple bits of double sided adhesive (I use a couple squares of hermafix) stick it directly onto the journaling you just printed on regular paper. Now feed it back through the printer and it will print on your scrap in exactly the right place. (You may have to test the printer to make sure you know which way to feed the paper for it to print in the same spot) And voila — you end up with perfectly positioned journaling and you don’t waste lots of paper!
