New Calligraphy Font::fancy fairlight

I have been enjoying creating this last two months as I care for my new little son. Here is a new font that I designed called fairlight. It is really fun. It costs $2.00 for the outer envelope. Contact me at Designsbyrobynlove@yahoo.com to get a questionnaire if you are interested in this fun font for envelopes, invitations, placecards etc. The sky is the limit. Plus, check out the Save the Date in the last post that created with this font. It is really beautiful.

Press: The Knot Michigan

This wedding season has been so busy that I had neglected to share my joy in having my calligraphy be a part of The Knot Michigan's Fall/Winter 2009 issue! I was thrilled when Jodi Bos of In Any Event told me that the wedding she coordinated (and I did the calligraphy for) was going to be a part of the magazine. Check out the five page spread (pages 50-56) to see more delightful pictures. Here are just a few of my calligraphy on the big day. Thanks to Jen Kroll for some more amazing pics.

Whether it is just directing them where to put the cards or expressing your utmost joy...it can't look any better in a dazzling frame with captivating calligraphy! Check out two of my latest signs...

Even though these are 8x10 signs. I can do any size. From a small tent card the size of an escort card, to a large banner. Anything you can think up I can provide!

Wooden Calligraphy Signs

Who doesn't LOVE the little details? I have recieved many requests this year for wedding signs. They can be rustic, beachy, or classic but they sure make for a great way to welcome your guests. I love this photo by Jen Kroll of the stunning wedding of my beloved sister, Jen. I had such a fun time making these special pieces for her. I will share more from her big day soon!
