A Note from Mary
I lifted the typographic treatment of the alphabet from these wall prints and translated it directly to a layout about my daughter starting preschool. I loved the vellum-like look of the letters on the kraft background and the playful color scheme. I think any of these designs would also be great inspiration for a title page.
P.S. I borrowed some words from our own Elizabeth Dillow because she always writes things exactly like I mean them. ☺
October Fun Fact
The first Halloween costume I can remember was “mouse,” and I was awful proud of that tail.
