Font Friday: Cyclone

Photobucket Happy Font Friday! Today, by request, I bring you Cyclone, by Hoefler & Frere-Jones. Cyclone is striking and bold, and it comes with two extra formats, background and in-line, for easy layering. You can purchase Cyclone here for $50, but with a warning... you will want to buy every font on that site, so proceed with caution!

Featured: Invitation Crush

Last week, I was so excited to be featured on Invitation Crush, a blog dedicated to lovely invitations, announcements and save the dates.  A save the date that I designed for Kristen and Sean (who are getting married THIS weekend!) was included in a round-up of unique photo save the date cards. Thanks to Cristina of Wisner Photo, I had a stunning photo to work with. custom save the date

Check out mine and several other fun photo cards here! Yay!

Spotted: Hong Kong Housewife

Natasha is the Public Relations Director at Minted and I recently discovered her blog, Hong Kong Housewife, which is a fun account of her life in Hong Kong. Recently, she threw a lingerie shower for a friend and sent out my 'Vintage Corset' invitation and used it as inspiration for her shower decor. Seeing one of my designs in action is the best! Check out her entire post here. Photobucket
