How To Organize Your Fonts! Freebie, too!

 This is it.  I have finally found a quick and easy way to keep up with all my fonts!
Since the days when I moved away from comic sans as my "go to" font, I have accumulated a lot of awesome, sometimes decorative fonts that I {heart}.  My problem has been that when I am creating a pack or working on a document, I don't have time to scroll through a ton of (sometimes small) fonts to choose one that works from the drop down menu.  So what I usually do is just use a handful of my fonts, even though I have many more.
Not anymore! I have found a way to quickly look over my fonts to choose the PERFECT one!

The small version I printed two copies and laminated them, one is bound with a brad and one with a ring...just to see which works best.  One is with my computer at school and one is next to my computer at home.  When I am working, I flip through the booklet and choose the font that is "just right"!

Another idea is to print them out and place them in plastic sleeves in a notebook.

The cover you see in the picture is my first attempt, I used it in the "test" stage of my new font organizer.

It is also awesome for when you know what a font looks like, but can't remember its name, flip through the book and find it quick!

How to:

You may be thinking that it would take an eternity to do this.  For me, it took about 30 minutes.  I used Pages (or Word) and created a text box, then I looked at my scroll down menu of fonts, chose the first one and typed its name, then the next.  I did NOT type the fonts that are standard or the plain, ugly ones that came with the computer, just my super cool ones =)

I chose an 18point font for each unless it came out too big or small, it ended up that I only had to adjust a few to either larger or smaller.

And for doodles?  I copied and pasted the alphabet with each doodle and have 

it saved as a document also!

And here is your freebie covers for your own font notebook!

Hope this helps!  Maybe do it as a summer project?!
