Echo Park {Baby} Tags

I've been really busy creating lately. Thought I would help out with this cause over at Echo Park paper. I don't have physical product for them, but I do have a ton of digital stuff. So I went hybrid for these. Made some tags via photoshop (trying 11 at the moment and totally liking it!). And here's some of the ones I came up with!

I used the following lines: Tag 1 - This and That Graceful Tag 2 -  Dots and Stripes: Candy Shoppe Tag 3 - Pride and Joy Tag 4 - This and That Charming. All kits found at JessicaSpraque

{Mixed} Media: Help?

I'm in need of some help. I've really wanted to get something made that is mixed media, but I need resources. Searching the internet helps a little, but I was wondering if my crafty friends can point me to places that have helped them. Any suggestions? Let me know!!

Phonto: a tutorial {PC/Windows Version}

**NOTE:I had a little issue with this today. If you install more than 30 fonts (yes, I have 100's to choose from), it may cause the app to crash. I had a chat with the developer and this was his advice. Keep it under 30, people, or you might run into some issues! Good luck!

 You will follow the same basics steps as the MAC version only your font directory will be in a different location.

*Windows 7 version:
1. Open iTunes. Connect iPhone for faster transfer of files.

2. Click on iPhone device (i.e. Mine is Lindzie Head).

3. Click on Apps section. Scroll down to File Sharing. Double Click on Phonto.

4. Click Add... button

5. Locate File directory for your Fonts on your computer.
Windows 7 refers to it as Font Manager
Start > Control Panel > Fonts 
or
C:\Windows\Fonts

** If any of you need a different version of Windows, let me know. I'll see what I can find for you**  

6. Click on the font you want to add and Viola!
Font of choice can now be used.

7. Sync iPhone to ensure changes.

Will get some screen shots up soon.

(UPDATED) Phonto: A tutorial {MAC version}

**NOTE:I had a little issue with this today. If you install more than 30 fonts (yes, I have 100's to choose from), it may cause the app to crash. I had a chat with the developer and this was his advice. Keep it under 30, people, or you might run into some issues! Good luck!

I've been using some pretty cool apps on my iPhone. One that was recommended to me was Phonto. Phonto allows you to add text to pictures and even create a blank template (a .99 cents add-on). They recently released a new update that allows you to install your own fonts - OTF or TTF file types. So cool as I have hundreds of fonts that I have purchased from scrapnfonts.com, rhonnadesigns.com, houseof3.com (no longer available), and various free sites - dafont.com, losttype.com, fontsquirrel.com to name a few.

I thought I'd make a quick tutorial on how to get those fonts on your iPhone. Here it goes:

*MAC version:
1. Open iTunes. Connect iPhone for faster transfer of files.

2. Click on iPhone device.

3. Click on Apps section. Scroll down to File Sharing. Double Click on Phonto.

Click on apps section. Scroll to File Sharing

Double Click Phonto

4. Click Add... button

5. Locate File directory for your Fonts on your computer.
[Your Home User Directory] (in my case Lindz) --> Library --> Fonts

Font Directory location

6. Click on the font you want to add and Viola! Font of choice can now be used.

Font has been added

7. Sync iPhone to ensure changes.

Enjoy and I will try to get a version up for a PC soon.
