Font Faux Pas

I came across this article today while scrolling through my Facebook feed. It was posted in on the cricut groups I belong to where we all had a good laugh. Tote Bag No-No For those of you who do not want to click and read.... I'll give you the run down.

 

 At first glance, what does this tote read? If you guessed "My favorite color is Hitler," you are correct. It's actually supposed to say "My favorite color is glitter." Twitter tore apart this post as soon as it hit social media. Most got a hilarious laugh about it, and so far the company has failed to give a response. I've had my Cricut since Christmas, and this is one this I am SOOOO self-conscious about. I read, reread, and usually have a friend or Joe take a quick glance to make sure it looks okay. All I can think of is the shrouded mystery of appendages supposedly hidden on The Little Mermaid movie cover.

Speaking of Cricut, I've managed to not post on project I've completed. Right now, I am faux-screen printing shirts and of course vinyl. I've made several shirts for my household and baby gifts, but most recently I've received a couple of orders from friends and family. I'm tickled with them, as it gives me something to do in my spare time. (Seriously, I didn't realize until this summer how much time school actually consumes!) My all time favorite shirt I've made so far would have to be our Bachelorette Weekend shirts! We went to a Reds game and topped it with dinner and drinks. The shirts were super cute and amazingly perfect. No font faux-pas over here!


Have a favorite or comical font faux-pas or wonky word story? Let me know!
