featured blog design: Cupcakes & Confetti

Naree and Dara are two sisters from Michigan. Naree is a stay at home mom turned event planner and is the absolute sweetest! Looking for a way to journal and collect their ideas, Naree and Dara decided to start a blog. And this is where 17th Avenue came in.

I had such a great time designing for these two ladies! They knew what they wanted, always replied quickly, and were truly just fantastic to work with. Naree told me they had the idea of having a balloon flowing out from one of the letters. I LOVED the idea! How creative! I absolutely love how their design turned out, don't you?


You can view Cupcakes & Confetti here!

Have a lovely day!

be inspired: fonts

If you're anything like us, you're addicted to fonts. And if you're not (which is just crazy), we give you full permission to swoon and drool over all these ridiculously gorgeous fonts. 'Cause who in their right mind wouldn't!? Take a peek at some of the FREE places we find pretty awesome fonts to use in our design work:




Amanda from kevinandamanda.com offers hundreds of free handwriting fonts AND scrapbook fonts! We frequently use their free fonts in our designs and love them!




Several of our favorite fonts eva' come from The Lost Type Co-Op. We LOVE their site + unique fonts!




The League of Moveable Type offers fantastic, professional, and modern fonts for free! Can it get any better!? Seriously. We love them. Check them out HERE!

MTF (Miss Tina Fonts) has whimsical, feminine fonts for the girly blogger. We love to use their cute fonts with our more feminine designs + clients. In addition to their free fonts, they also have a shop where you can purchase more of their beautiful fonts.

Hope we inspired you and introduced you to some nifty new font sites! Is there a font in particular that you love? (It doesn't have to be from our list of sites!) Do share! 

XOXO.
