I've mentioned them before, but The Lost Type Co-Op is a site you want to check out often, because they are always releasing awesome new fonts. One of their latest ones, Homestead, really caught my eye. With 6 different formats, the unique combinations are endless.

Minted Holiday Collection Award

Last week was a big week for me! After making it into the top ten in the Sending Good Cheer Holiday Challenge, I found out that I won the opportunity to launch a commissioned holiday collection on Minted! Four designers with the most designs in the top 100 were chosen, and joining me are Alston Wise of B.Wise Papers, Megan Davis of Toast & Laurel, and Cambria Evans of J.Bartyn Design. I have been a fan of these designers since my first days at Minted, and am honored to be launching a collection along side them! I have to pinch myself, I feel so lucky!

Crane & Co. Holiday Cards

It's the end of September, but I've been in holiday mode since June. Those holiday cards that you order (right before Christmas, if you are like most) are being designed all summer long and while some designers have a hard time getting in the holiday spirit in the dog days of summer, I feel like I can always get in the Christmas mood. Photo cards in general are my favorite to design, which means I really love working on holiday cards, and so I spent many months this summer working on collections for a variety of retailers. You might be used to seeing my designs on Minted and Indigo Prints, but this year, I have a few designs on Crane.com! Crane and Co. launched a new collection of digital photo cards for this holiday season and while it coincided with Minted's challenge, I was able to submit a few and had some success. The cards launched earlier last week, and I really enjoyed finally seeing my designs that I worked on so long ago. Enjoy the first of many holiday posts to come!

Sending Good Cheer Top 10!

After much torture anticipation, waiting the ENTIRE summer, Minted finally announced their top 10 designs from the Sending Good Cheer Holiday Challenge. My design, 'Rejoice' place 9th out of 2,251 submissions! I am so excited to be among such amazing talent. This made my year! But these 10 aren't the only beauties... check out the entire Holiday card collection and be prepared to drool! They are probably the best ever!

Font Friday: Eloquent

This week I am featuring the font, Eloquent, but probably not for the reason you might think. Yes, it's classic, and bold, and a great display serif, but there's something else about it that makes it better than the rest...

Have you ever seen such lovely numbers!?

You can purchase Eloquent here, and now until October 31st, you can get 20% off of veer.com by using the code ILOVEFONTS. It doesn't get much better than that!
