Whimsical Handwriting Font Download

I came across this font called A Yummy Apology while I was looking for something else for my new blog which I'm in the process of working on.  How flipping adorable is it?!  It's been a while since I've gone on a font downloading kick, but darn it if this didn't get me back on the wagon.

And it's free.  :o) Download here and let me know what sort of project you use it for.

Cheers!

Custom Menu DIY

Happy Friday everyone! With Thanksgiving only six days away (I almost fell over this morning when I realized it) I got to thinking about custom menus and their many uses. The one I have here is based on my dinner this year.



You don't have to be a graphic designer to do this. Just be sure to use a good cardstock or heavy resume paper in ivory.

Frame: The Graphics Fairy. You will have to resize the image slightly to fit on standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper.
Menu Font: Kelly Ann Gothic
Script Font: Angelica from New Revolutions Designs
Headers: Copperplate Gothic Light (standard on all programs)

If you feel the menu is too large, turn the page to 'landscape' and make two menus side by side. Again, you'll have to shrink the frame image, but that's fairly simple. Also consider your color palette when doing the text. If you have any questions, send me an email and I'll try to help.

Whether for the holidays, dinner for two, or your wedding, custom menus add elegance and personal detail.

Free Monogram Download: Gray and Yellow

I have a sweet monogram collection for you guys tonight in this season's popular wedding color combination of yellow and gray. Use the two inch images for thank you cards, envelopes, stationary, napkins, escort cards, you name it. Click on the image to enlarge, save as a picture and cut and paste as necessary. If you need a letter after 'P', leave me a comment and I'll be happy to email it to you.

Butterfly Table Numbers

I love the use butterflies in the fall. Their wings are truly in the season's palette. Butterflies also represent new beginnings, the perfect symbol for a wedding date. Here's an easy way I Incorporated them into table numbers:



Other than your ink and card stock, this project is free. Here is what I used:

Free butterfly clip art from Wordplay. You can also find vintage botanical butterfly clip art at Antique Clip Art.

Darrian's Frames is a terrific dingbat collection. Since you can change the size and color of the twenty plus frames available, it's a must-download for anyone planning diy wedding projects.

Remember the collection of fonts I gave you to download 2 days ago? That's where I plucked this calligraphy number from. In case you need it again here's the link.

Play around with the size and color until you find something that really strikes your fancy. With just these three simple downloads, you have hundreds of possibilities. Happy diy-ing!

I have the BEST free font collection to share with you today! If you are a typography addict like myself, you'll appreciate this one.



Obviously, these aren't your typical free fonts; lots of vintage little swirls and twirls. Just think of all the yummy little paper projects you can use these for.
