I’m a Font Junkie

I was out of town last week, then my computer was duplicating my emails times three…what a mess!  I deleted 2000 emails yesterday.  And…I feel like I’ve had a great bath!  Good to see some clutter erased!

This morning and saw a fresh flyer in my box that indicated I almost missed a great sale!  ScrapNFonts is having a HUGE sale on fonts for the 4th if you have some time to sit down for yourself a second.  One of my currents favs I saw on sale for the next five days is “DB Hello Cupcake“.  It is darling and cuts well with my Cricut and markers (with the SCAL program add-on).

I made this card super-fast, therefore the photo is not stellar, but I thought it turned out cute for the time I had.  I used the frame, cone, and journaling circle done from the DB Hello Cupcake font set.

I tried coloring a background with watercolors (didn’t really like how it warped the card, but live and learn).  I stamped her name with my new little Studio G ministamps I found at Michael’s on sale for $1 each on Spring break (Nashville).  Stamping ink:  Brown Chocolate Memento ink… LOVE it (very permanent, won’t bleed into other markers), available at Hobby Lobby. Brown marker for the Cricut, cut out using the SCAL “shadow” feature, colored with Prisma Alcohol based markers. The hot pink strip is from a new cutter I had found on sale (ebay) for my Cuttlebug.  Tiny eyelets were courtesy of Cindy J–Making Memories.

While I’m gluing, I’m usually help kids get into party clothes, pack pool gear for the party.  With three kids, a lot of summer parties most often means a cash gift from us and running fast!

DB Hello Cupcake is on sale for one dollar the next 5 days at ScrapNFonts…normally $3.00.)  Even without SCAL or a Cricut, you can still print it on cardstock and use it on a layout or card design.   A great deal, super trendy, super-cute.  One of the images in the set is a cute “cupcake” calendar I want to print next!

Here’s a free product I want to snatch up before it expires on the 5th–cute hand-drawn elements with arrows and stars and such.  They’ve got some other lettering fonts I want to check out with the 40% off coupon code JulyParade.  The entire list of 4th of July “Padade” sale items is here.

I’m going shopping, I see Patriotic and Beach stuff I want!

Yup…I’m a font junkie.
