You’ve picked the perfect paper. You’ve got your photos arranged just right. The embellishments are glued, the colors are dreamy—and now it’s time to add a title or a journaling quote.
But suddenly... everything feels off.
Sound familiar? That, my creative friend, is the power of fonts. ✨
Fonts are the unsung heroes of any scrapbook page. They bring personality, mood, and style to your memories—and choosing the right one can truly make or break your layout.
So today, we’re diving into one of my favorite topics: where to find the best fonts for your scrapbooking projects. Whether you’re making digital pages, printable ephemera, or journaling layouts by hand, this guide will help you add the perfect touch of you to every page.
Let’s get font-happy! 🖋️💕
🖋️ Why Fonts Matter in Scrapbooking
Fonts are more than just pretty letters—they’re storytellers.
The font you choose can whisper soft and sentimental vibes... or shout bold, vintage flair. It helps your layout say, “This is playful!” or “This is sacred.” Whether you’re creating pages for your child’s baby book or designing a printable for your faith journal, fonts can amplify the feeling behind every memory.
Plus, if you’re designing digital scrapbooking kits, journaling pages, or embellishments to sell (hi, fellow Etsy creatives 👋), a unique and consistent font style can even help define your brand aesthetic!
✨ Best Places to Find Scrapbooking Fonts
You don’t have to spend hours scrolling through font overload to find what works. Here are some tried-and-true places to find beautiful, fun, and purposeful fonts for all your projects:
1. Creative Fabrica
This is my #1 go-to for all things fonts, especially for crafting and scrapbooking. You’ll find a huge library of handwritten fonts, vintage type, cut files, and more—plus, most of their fonts include commercial use, which is amazing for small biz creators.
Pro Tip: Look for fonts labeled "craft friendly" or "SVG ready" if you plan to use them in cutting machines like Cricut or Silhouette!
2. DaFont
A classic site for free fonts! DaFont is amazing when you want something whimsical, grungy, gothic, or just plain quirky. It’s great for experimenting—but make sure to double-check licensing if you’re using it for commercial projects.
3. Font Bundles
Font Bundles often offers curated font packs, flash deals, and freebies. It’s a favorite of digital scrapbookers and crafters who want fonts with personality and flair. Plus, they highlight lots of script and display fonts that feel tailor-made for journaling prompts and page headers.
4. Canva Fonts (Free & Pro)
If you’re designing scrapbook pages, journaling kits, or printable art in Canva (like I do all the time), don’t overlook their font library. It’s growing fast, and there are so many lovely options for scrapbooking aesthetics—especially if you’re a Canva Pro user.
A few of my favorite Canva fonts:
Playlist Script – sweet and handwritten
Lovelo – modern and bold
Glacial Indifference – clean and classic
Want a Canva scrapbooking tutorial? Just say the word! 😉
5. My Etsy Shop (Yes, Really!)
Surprise! Many of my printable kits and templates already include carefully paired fonts that match the theme—whether it's cozy and rustic or bright and modern. I do the hard part so you can dive straight into creating.
You’ll find scrapbook paper, journaling kits, Canva templates, and more designed with love (and font obsession, let’s be honest 😄).
🎨 How to Use Fonts in Scrapbooking
Ready to get started? Here are a few ways to use fonts beautifully in your scrapbooking layouts:
Title Pages – Choose bold display fonts that stand out.
Quotes & Journaling – Use script or handwritten styles for a personal touch.
Captions & Details – Keep it clean with simple serif or sans-serif fonts.
Printables – Match your font style to your theme (e.g., vintage type for memory pages, playful script for kids' albums).
The trick is to mix 2–3 fonts that complement each other—but don’t go font-crazy! Less is more when it comes to readability and balance.
