I Love Typography

TGIF!

I am so happy it's Friday.  We are having a baby shower for Meridyth's sister which is going to be fun and a new doctor started me on a new medication which will hopefully help some of this chronic illness stuff.

Today I came across an awesome site highlighting interesting and innovative typography from around the web.  I love words.  I like the way they look and the way they jump on a page.  Artists that use words to make images ROCK MY WORLD!

Hope you enjoy!

Two new cards, Insomnia, and Mer's wedding inspiration board...

Hello out there!

Sorry for the radio silence yesterday! 

I have been having such a hard time sleeping (not sure if it is insomnia or the neck pain) that around 8 last night when I thought about blogging I couldn't get up! 

I was FINALLY comfortable in bed, with the icepack just right, my curly hair not bothering me, and my smushy pillows lumps in just the right place!  There was no way I was going to move to even go to the bathroom! 

I did get up in the middle of the night for an ice pack replacement but I finally slept pretty well!

How has everyone else's week been?

The really exciting thing about today was that I worked on two new cards yesterday that I put up this morning on LoveUPaperly. 

One is a set of three Thank You note-cards and the other card say's Hugs & Kisses.  Particularly good for Valentine's Day which is right around the corner!

The other images I wanted to show you was from an inspiration board I made for Meridyth for our wedding.

Remember I made one for myself from this blog post?  Well, I made one for her as well which I consider to be "classy".  Let me know what you think!

If one of these images is yours or you know the person who owns it please tell me and I would be happy to cite it!

I Love, Love, Love the ruffled cake on the bottom.  Gorgeous!

So, I think we are getting pizza and salad tonight which I could not be more excited for!

Until tomorrow,

Love,

Jess

Found street art and a dumb thing

Hello, Hello!!!

Hope Tuesday has been good to everyone today.

I on the other hand did something very dumb yesterday.

I have been feeling so good and have really felt no pain in my back/neck at all!  Well, I turned my head to look at something yesterday and today I am sooo swollen and my back is really painful.  This was a not so nice reminder that I am still healing and have to be very careful.

Lucky for you dear readers since I was in pain and didn't sleep well last night I found some awesome images to share with you!

I want to introduce you to Street Art.

For those of you that don't know, this term means visual art, developed in public spaces, that is usually/never sanctioned by a group or a government.

This artwork totally blew my mind.

The original images are from Odd Stuff Magazine featuring the best found street art of 2011.


FYI:  There are no artists listed by the images, I do not no the original creator of the art or the person who took the image.  If anyone does feel free to e-mail me and I will cite it.

Aren't these amazing?!  I am particularly drawn to the image of the men walking in the puddle.  I can see them just trudging to work doing the same thing day in and day out.  I find that image to be really powerful.

Or the knitted tree?!  So cool.

Until tomorrow,

Love,

Jess
