Themed Projects : Cease & Desist

This was a super fun layout! I loved picking all of the different fonts. I didn't use any periods in the journaling at all, I just relied on the line breaks and fonts to break it up.
I created a text box for my journaling, and set it to be fully justified. Then, I just typed away. I wasn't looking for anything particularly coherent, because, I'm not a particularly coherent person. When I finished, I went back through, doing hard returns where I wanted the line breaks. Then, the fun began! I just started scrolling through my fonts, and picked some that looked fun. I was for an old western style, so I tried to stick with fonts that conveyed that. I selected each line and changed the font, and then adjusted the font size to fill the line. I also adjusted the leading (the spacing between the lines) to make sure it looked fairly even.
The swirl is a freebie available here at 2Peas, and the journaling box is by Carina Gardner.
This layout took me about 20 minutes tops, but I think it's one of my favorites! Thanks for looking!
Fonts used (top to bottom) are:
Cast Iron, 2 Peas Lighthouse, DaunPenh, Imprint MT Shadow, Nashville, Perpetua, Rockwell, Mailart Rubberstamp, Wooden Nickel Black, Stencil, Rockwell (again), Rosewood Std, Mesquite Std, Blackoak Std.
