Some of our ladies have given an example for you to look at.

Kassie (kass_23) used Pearly Whites to create her layout. I like the wacky shape she used for her journaling. She definitely needing to adjust the lines to make that text line up.

Next, Kayla (keepscrappin) used an index card for her journaling. I used the font – typewriter serial medium and set it to 12 pt with the leading set to 15 pt. This made it so the journaling would go between the lines on the recipe card. I also noted that I had rotated the recipe card -4 degrees when I placed it on my layout, so I could also rotate the text box -4 degrees and have the journaling text line up correctly. She used Taste of Home and Pasta & Pizza.

Finally, Leslie (lab130) shares her layout using  Apple Of My Eye. Her instructions, Font: DJB Britany Print, size 12, leading 19.5 (you can drub the leading to get it just where you want it to be by manipulating the mouse right and left over the word “leading”)
