Today's post is more of an app review. Lately, I've been dying to have my own handwriting as a font. I've seen a few of my blog friends using their own and it seems so cool (aka. I'm jealous) So, I splurged and bought the iFontMaker app on my iPad. I believe I spent $6.99, but it was well worth it. Here's why...
1. It's SUPER easy to use.
2. It's fast.
3. It's ridiculously easy to send fonts to your computer.
4. I now have my handwriting as a font
5. I can whip up a font whenever I want now! Woohoo!

The App button looks like this.
Here's what I was able to do in about an hour (after the first one took about 15 minutes). Disregard the incredibly original font names. I wanted them to be grouped together when I uploaded them, so I named them all "Ashley ..."
They are so beautiful huh? Bahahaha. I am SOOOOOO terrible at it. My favorite is "Ashley Skinny." It's my handwriting... and feeds my dream of one day shedding twenty pounds.
Now that I see "Ashley Fancy" on here, I hate it. Gross. What a hot mess.
I've decided that I should stick to clipart and not delve into the world of fonts. There are PLENTY of talented ladies out there to feed my addiction. Here are my favorites:
Jessica Stanford
Sandra Matadamas
Rowdy in Room 300
A Cupcake for the Teacher
Jen Jones
Kimberly Geswein
Kevin & Amanda
If you're interested in checking out the app, then there's a great tutorial video below (from 2ttf).
Make sure you're ready to party before you watch. The music will send you into "glowstick mode".

Pretty cool right? It's seriously easy to use and fun to play with. I know they have other versions (for PC), but I haven't really spent time investigating those. You'll find info if you just check out their website.
