Ok, so I'm doing a bonus holiday cards feature on my blog (bonus from the mag), and this is one of the cards I'm going to use (so you get a sneak peek -- feel special?) While I was at it, I experimented with different fonts so I can use these to make a point in a post about fonts (which I will write later) about how a font can change the whole FEEL of a piece . . . but now I don't know which one of these to use as the card example!!! HELP!!! Which one do YOU like best?!!!
Page elements are from Chef (Susan) over at ScrapKitchen, the stitching is Shabby Princess.

I disagree, while my first pick is #3 because it is more whimsical and fits well with playfullness of kids, I like the second one also. It has more of a fancy look which if I were sending this out to alot of family members I would consider #2 since it looks more professional.
But I really like #3, I think its the cutest, and with such a cute kid as Jake, I would go for cute lettering as well. :-)

2 and 3 are my faves, depends on whether you want it to look fancy and professional or fun and kidish!

well I'm standing by my no-#2 position..."y'all" is so casual, I don't think it fits with that font. However I do like #3 the best. And Jake is of course so so cute.

#1 is very generic. Nice, but ... #2 is better... very Fall themed. For some reason, I think that style is the "Fall Font". You see it everywhere for Fall things.
#3 looks like a kiddo font... goes really well w/ the pics.

My opinion is for #3; for it's "kiddish" feel.

Well, after much consideration, I like #3 the best! I agree that #2 does seem to have a "fallish" feel to it, but for the wording and the cuteness of the Jakester, I think #3 fits best of all!! That's just me, though! Can't wait to see which one you pick! (o:

I'm going with #3. It's actually quite perfect.
What a cute boy, by the way. I'm glad you enjoyed your extra time with him this week.
Hope you have a great weekend!

No. 3 is my fave, the font really suits the pictures. Very cute!
Posted by: Sue | October 29, 2005 at 11:51 PM
My vote is #3 also! (and, the apostrophe goes after the "y" in "y'all".)
Love ya!

LOL -- thanks, Cara!!!! Bonnie W. e-mailed me to tell me that, too -- I'm such a total dork, I didn't know that! Thank you SO MUCH for pointing that out to me, both of you! ;o)
Looks like #3 will be the one I use as the example for the mag bonus -- and thanks to the beauty of digi-scrapping, I can change the y'all goof up very easily!!!

Hey there Jen!
Hope I am in time to save you from a SPQ faux paus..... Y'all is the proper spellin' (short for You all) Now I know this is petty, but I felt it as my SPQ duty to let Y'all know........
I actually like the first font. Nice, bold, crisp and clean. Doesn't take away from the striped design in the card.
Y'all have a fabulous evening!
LOL, Pink Stuff!!!
