Default Pinterest "lift" What do you think?

Ok.... so here is the picture I found on Pinterest


And here is my version- what do you think? Any changes I should make? Does the spacing look right?

Peter Allen's name seems off-center to the left a bit. Other than that it looks perfect!!! I just love it, Amber! It's such a great idea, I might lift it myself.

this is ticky-tacky and probably a personal preference, but I would put the twins together on one line. but maybe you tried that & it looked funny. but to me, i thought you were missing a date.

i love it! i think it is super cute.

Beautifully done!!! What a nice reminder. I agree with Stephanie about adding twins to same line or even just duplicating date? Could you tell me what fonts they are? Thank you

I know what you mean Stephanie but in order for it to fit and look right I would have to reduce the font size a whole lot and that looks funnier to me than their names on seperate lines.

Yes, I like that second version better. I thought you were missing a date with the first one. Looks good Amber.

I did this 8x10.
Jessica- the font for the dates is CM Old Western, the script font is Murray Hill BD, and then the other font is The Typewriter by Heather Hess. I may end up changing it because its a little wobbly (if that makes sense) but not sure what I will use yet.

I did the same thing! I am attaching my version. I didn't have that font for the numbers, so picked another. And I have twins as well. I still did each on a separate line because I thought it balanced better. And I added a "faux" matte to mine.

I have an 8x10 frame but I think I want to get a matte (mat? which one is correct?) so Im probably going to use an 11x14 frame. Time to go to Michaels!

Wonderful job ya did Amber! I like the second one best, as well.

Where did you find The Typewriter font?

Nevermind, found the font at TLP... didn't know those were there! Thanks for posting the names of the fonts, much appreciated!

I did this, too! I put it in a 8x10 matted frame, as well. The blue-ish color is the color we painted an accent wall in our living room.



I added "first date" because we only have one kid, so I needed to take up more space. And yes, I corrected the typo on "fist date" before I printed LOL.

This is the winner! I was confused with the two names and this ties it together, I think.

I love these but I'm divorced and would it be weird to do it with my current BF if we get married and have his and my kids on there?

Love, love, LOVE this!!

Did you use a background white scrapbook paper in photoshop when you did the layout or did you just do it on a plain white background and have it printed on white?
