These are a few of my favorite fonts

28Apr09

I have been a font whore for as long as I can remember. I’m the girl that was buying the CD of 1,001 fonts at Best Buy in 1998. So I knew that when it came time to design my invitations and other wedding bits n’ bobs, I could not have just any font. So, [...]

28Apr09

I’d always known that I wanted to use our engagement photos for a photo guest book. This works on two levels. First, we have a photo album of our engagement photos. Secondly, there will be kind words from our friends. Done and done!
