Today and tomorrow, Heidi and I are bringing you something new, different, and totally fun!  It’s a font challenge.  Here’s how it works.  Each of us has created a project for you, and we are going to show it to you using 3 different fonts.  My project is a layout, so I am going to show you the same project using 3 different die cut fonts, and I want your feedback on what you liked and why.  Hopefully, we can all learn something about how the look of different fonts changes the overall look of our project.  I know I had fun playing with the different options!

**There is a chance to win at the bottom of this post!**

So, I first partially created a layout, until I got it to the point where I would normally add the lettering.  Then I cut out my title using 3 different fonts, and Sprinkle cardstock.

Then I laid each title on my layout to see which one I liked best.  I used several different placements too.  By the way, this is hard for me to show you a partially completed layout!

This font (above) is called “Freestyle Script” and although at first it seemed appropriate, once I saw it on the layout it seems too light and insubstantial to work well.

This one, called FAFERS Handwriting Font, is better, and closer to what I was looking for.  While I like the look of it, it feels a little too sporty for my artsy, graphic layout.

This one is Impact, an old standard.  It doesn’t have the flair I usually prefer in my fonts, but it does stand out more then the others, is easily readable, and complements the graphic nature of this layout quite well.

Here is how I finished the layout:

So, what do you think?  Would you have made a different choice?  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think and why.  I will send one random commenter a few handmade cardstock flowers! (leave your comments by Friday night at 11:59 EST to be eligible for the drawing).

Come back tomorrow to see Heidi play with a few fonts of her own.
