Are you a Social Geek?
My kids like to shout "Awkward" every time I do anything but I think that's just their way of showing me moral support. For those of you who are a tad bit more confident and want to declare you're socially savvy. Socialico is a package of 74 social media icons, designed by Jelio Dimitrov a.k.a. Arsek.
Enjoy!
In a tizzy over TIZA
How much do I love a big 'ol fat font, done in chalk and for F-R-E-E? Oh, let me count the ways.
If Fonts were Dogs...comic sans would be
Forgive me for digressing, but this on ongoing conversation within the design community... and this is as funny as all get out.

DIY: It's in the Bag
• iron-on monogram letter
• pre-washed cotton bookbag
• 1-2 sheets decorative iron-on applique's ( flowers, birds, etc.)
Step 1: Decide placement of the applique's.
Preheat iron to cotton setting and lay the project out on a hard, heat resistant surface.
Step 2: Position applique on fabric design up.
Cover with thin cloth. Press and hold for 15 -20 seconds to tack applique to project. Reverse fabric (turn fabric inside out) and press from the back for an additional 30 seconds to complete application.
Think about adding rhinestones, custom tags, trinkets or all three.
Voila!
Real Weddings: Jessica and Shea
You know I love paper right? The only thing I love more than paper ( coffee is always implied in these conversations) is pictures of paper. So when I got a lovely email from Liz Cook over at Sincerely Liz kindly telling me she had some pictures of paper, my paper, she wanted to share. I was nearly giddy. She was kind enough to pass the pretty pics on so I could share!
Don't forget to check out the rest of Jessica and Shea's beautiful wedding.
Wait...What's an Escort Card
I know everyone is familiar with the sight, outside the entrance to the reception, of a rather snazzily or
not so snazzily dressed easel or table upon which is precariously perched a seating chart. The
mission... should you choose to accept it... is to scan the chart, as quickly
as possible, without knocking over the chart or any of the other guests, find
your name and your name only, the table assigned to you and perhaps for the single
ladies (and gents!) figure out if tall, dark and whoa!! is sitting next to you.
Wink! Wink! Nudge.
Now that you have accepted your mission... quick, commit it to memory! Cuz, the moment you step two feet away from the chart it will feel as though it self detonates, taking the knowledge of where the heck you're sitting at up in a haze of smoke and paper bits. No, not really...but feels like that doesn't it?
Which is where escort cards or seating cards come in.
Escort cards ( not to be confused with place cards as they are NOT the same thing - place cards are the handy dandy tented ones placed at each guests assigned seat), are traditionally small cards placed inside an envelope (yes, an envelope). The envelopes have your guests names written on the outside. Inside, is a flat card with the guests assigned table number written on it. Escort cards serve the same purpose as a seating chart, only smaller and with the handy dandy feature of being less likely to succumb to self detonation and quite a breeze to rearrange to accommodate last minute seating changes!
Most brides will opt to skip the envelope and choose to display the cards as creatively as possible. Look on for some super cute options!
