some of my favorite [design blogs]

Kelly Hicks Design

Find her here! 

I love reading blogs that I can relate to. Kelly is a designer living in Minnesota—I feel like we could be friends! Her design is always gorgeous. I always look forward to a new post! With her diy, fashion and home decor posts there is something for everyone. 

Jones Design Company

Find her here!

This lady creates such beautiful designs! I love her classic style. I'm pretty sure her blog is where my obsession with calligraphy started. She also mixes in great tutorials and personal posts. A great read.

design love fest

Find her here!

Bri is seriously inspiring. Her design is functional yet so unique. She is constantly doing something new! I love reading her blog to see what is inspiring her. She also has great downloads and style posts that are just so dang fun.

There is a mini list of some of my favorite design blogs. [I might have to do this again, I have so many more!] I hope you enjoy reading these blogs as much as I do! Go forth & be inspired! 

some of my favorite [christmas cards]

There is just something about letterpress that makes a card feel so much more important. It might be the thick stock or it might be the beautiful indentations on the paper. [probably a combination of both] Add to that some bright colors, foils & calligraphy? I'm completely sold.

some of my favorite [free fonts]

alright all you designers out there, let's get nerdy.
[everyone else—don't worry, this will still be fun.]

I love me some great typefaces, but don't have the budget to go buy all the ones I drool after. My solution? Free fonts baby! Here are a few of my favorite free fonts out there.

Sans Serif: Blanch; Leauge Gothic; Mensch; Ostrich Sans.

Serif: Abraham Lincoln; Judson; Arno Pro. 

Script: Sail; Channel; Alex Brush. 

Display: Homestead; Pharmacy; Rex Bold. 

There's my condensed list of favorite free fonts! Do you have any to add? 

[please remember that these fonts are free for personal use and if you are going to use them in any commercial way be sure to check with the typeface's copyright and terms of use!]
