Ever wanted to create a font out of your handwriting? Check out this site where you can submit your handwriting and get a customized font... for FREE!
You can also explore the many other handwriting fonts that they have already created and download them for free... if, like me, you'd rather have someone else's handwriting than your own...
How would you like to say that you were part of the design team that worked on these pieces? Some of our past design interns are bragging right now.... Come join us and maybe you will get the chance to brag, too!
We’ve got three companies under one roof in suburban Philadelphia, and are looking for a graphic design intern who wants to be a part of some amazing projects this summer.
We are: TWO PAPERDOLLS (a custom design firm specializing in stationery design + identity branding), LOUELLA PRESS (our sister company showcasing one-of-a-kind engraved stationery and letterpress note cards in 200+ stores across the US, Canada, and Europe) and PRESSED55, a full service commercial letterpress and design shop.
We’re looking for a motivated creative genius to join our casual but fast-paced environment for 2+ days per week from May to early August. Only catch? You must be proficient in Adobe Creative Suite. If this sounds like you, please email resume and portfolio to: [email protected]. This is an unpaid but credit-based internship. No phone calls please!

When looking for some pieces to complete my spring wardrobe, I found this amazing jewelry collection from J Crew. The colors are some of our favorite combos here at the dollhouse - bright yellows with pale grey and rich corals with gold tones. The design inspiration of vintage chandeliers and heirloom jewelery bring these pieces to life.
Whether it is jeans and a t-shirt or a dress and heels, these pieces will add a bit of the old and the new to your look this season!

We have been thinking posters lately, (you'll find out why in a few weeks!) so I decided to show a couple (along with some paper goods) that they have to offer...These particular items are all found vintage (except for the air mail). My first love was the monkeys, now I'm leaning toward the mice. Maybe for my new apartment trade traps for paper?

In addition to our wedding invitation designs on Wedding Paper Divas, we've also got a cute teen party invitation available on Tiny Prints!
We have loved working with these sister companies... have you ordered from Tiny Prints or Wedding Paper Divas before?

Our secret is out! We have been working hard over the last few months to launch our signature line with Wedding Paper Divas, and we're so excited that our designs are live on the site and ready to be customized by brides and grooms everywhere!
{ Country Club invitations and components, digital offset printing }
While we love the custom work we do for our Two Paperdolls clients and the luxurious engraved invitations that we produce at Louella Press, we realize that custom and/or engraved invitations are not always possible with every budget, especially in today's economy. Working with Wedding Paper Divas will allow us to bring our great designs (if we do say so ourselves!) to a broader audience in a more budget-friendly capacity.

{ Initial Attraction invitations and components, digital offset printing }
{ Edgy Elegance invitations and components, digital offset printing }
{ Fluted Bracket invitations and components, letterpress }
Check out the links to see all of the different color combinations and components available. Also be sure to stay tuned to Wedding Paper Divas as more of our designs are added to the site!

So...I will be celebrating a birthday later this month. Yay for spring birthdays! I have never made a big deal of my birthday, but it's always nice to get a special little surprise. This year, I received an early present and it was completely unexpected. About two weeks ago, as I checked the mail, I found a little envelope with my name on it. I love mail! Opening the envelope, I found this little pouch. Intriguing! Unbuttoning the flap revealed a very cute and creative inside. Awesome!
Pulling the card out of the pouch, I discovered who was responsible for my fun little birthday surprise.
Thank you, Anthropologie, I think I will treat myself to something special this month! Now, the hard part...what will I get?! Any ideas?
Happy Birthday to those of you also celebrating this month!

The Beautiful Blooms Boutique is now open on Liberties Walk and the shop is incredibly lovely. Marie Labbancz captured some fab shots — check it out!

If only we had a logical reason to use these Lego business cards, made to look like each of us. Although, I'm guessing your average business card holder wouldn't quite suffice when carrying these around with you to pass out.
