I purchased my first font today! Normally I just gaze longingly at them, as they’re usually too expensive to justify buying for personal use – but this one was on sale for $9! Take a gander at Thirsty Rough:

I love the old-school, retro style of it. I can see this used in many a project.

I designed a retro card and gift tags for Christmas. The tags are a free download, and the card is for sale as a download in my Etsy shop for only $4!

I found the coolest thing I’ve ever spent $.99 on yesterday at Savers – a Singer Dressmaker Guide dated 1942!
The sewing tips inside are timeless, of course, but the illustrations are particularly charming.
(Note the original $.25 price tag – holy inflation, Batman!)


Time to bust out Betty the Dressform and do some sewing!

Just in time for Mother’s Day, I designed some cute little cat-eye notecards and matching envelopes. Just print the cards on cardstock and the envelopes on regular letter paper.
The .pdf download includes glasses in four different colors (two per 8.5×11″ page) and an envelope for each.
Please feel free to share the preview image, but link them back here! These are for personal use only, please.
PS: If you download and find them useful, please leave a comment! I always respond, and they make my day!
