An Invitation to Dinner

Micah and I loaded up early this morning and headed out to the pediatrician. The verdict? The tonsillitis is gone {praise God}, but she’s got a little bit of an upper respiratory infection. The course of action? A different antibiotic and some decongestant. I hope my baby feels better soon.

Last night I promised to share a couple of new designs with you. The big news is that my father made a generous donation to Senojal Designs and allowed me to purchase the most beautiful and elegant font I’ve ever seen: Adios Script font by Ale Paul. Because of this donation, I was able to design some simply elegant rehearsal dinner invitations for one of my favorite clients, Suzi.

We started with this:

I love the mix of hard and soft. The play between the swirling script and the straight-laced type. It’s beautiful, but it wasn’t quite right for Suzi.

So we tweaked it to end up with this:

Love this one too. The lime green pops off the invitation, and I love the way the M overlaps with the swirls. Beautiful, and perfect for Suzi.

I love custom orders. They give me a chance to try new things and be creative. I also had fun playing with the new font.

Open Type fonts are a fun new world that I’m just beginning to explore. Expect to hear more about them in the future :)

Until next time, grace and peace.
