My new font love... Sabella

If you've been reading my blog, you know about my font love. Well, today, I have a new love. Sabella.


I bought this font in a bundle from thehungryjpeg.com (it was a great deal, btw, and I have big plans for some of the brush fonts). I couldn't wait to start using it. Because it's an OpenType font, there are lots of contextual alternates and ligatures to make for BEAUTIFUL titles on the Cameo.

Here's the one I made for my most recent post over at shopevalicious.com:


The c and the s are both alternate characters, so have that extra swoosh to make it look really cool. I'm also addicted to three layer titles. :)

And here is how it looks on the layout:


Props go to scrapbookgeneration.com for having awesome sketches, from which this layout was inspired.

Marquis de Larios

So, here's the REST of the story... (aka: what I did with the title file I made on my last post)...


 I'm working with some of the new Evalicious "This Way" travel themed goodies this week for a contest being held on Instagram (go check it out NOW, if you haven't already... you could win a $30 eGC... @ronascraps).


I used the one page sketch from the March 2015 edition of Create Magazine (published by Scrapbook Generations as my jumping off point. A new sheet of Echo Park paper (Jack and Jill) matches the Evalicious line so perfectly.  Another of life's little joys--when I find a new line of paper that matches my goodies).

The flourish was super skinny, so I ran the Cameo on the slowest setting and was veeeerrrry careful pulling it off the cutting mat.


The sketch called for a row of tickets, but I'm more of a cluster girl myself, so I grabbed a ticket die, and cut a few dies out of cardstock and faux-cork paper.  I did cut thin strips of actual cork to create a border for the white interior.



This was a fun layout to make, and came together super quickly (...uh... once the title was done).
