I am addicted to downloading and using new fonts (I currently have almost 500 on my computer!). My husband makes fun of me because I can identify the names of fonts used on billboards and business signs. I just love words.
One of my recent obsessions has been vintage letters and dictionaries. I found a huge 1,000+ page dictionary at an antique store and of course it came home with me. I've been using the pages to make thank-you tags for customers who order wedding invitation sets from my shop. This morning I made a Treasury featuring items made from dictionary pages, called The Secret Second Life of Dictionaries. Here are a couple of my favorite items that I found:
As part of this recent obsession, I was inspired to create a wedding invitation that looks like a vintage French love letter. Although the entire text isn't all visible or legible, I wanted it to be authentic, so I did some searching and found an actual love letter written in French that I used as the background, along with antique paper image. The result?
