Wordmarkit, Winners, and Whoo loves fonts?

I really appreciate everyone's suggestions on my labels from Monday's Made it! I should have used Wordmark.it first before posting my labels. I use wordmark.it for finding the perfect font for titles, student handouts, newsletters, sight word cards and more. This program is awesome!!! I highly suggest using it. It's super easy. All you do is type in a word, phrase, or set of characters and it displays your text in all the possibilities of fonts that are loaded on your computer. It's pure genius. Yes, I have the ability to hover over the text in powerpoint but this is much better. I'm such a visual person so it allows me to see ALL of my options. Why is this so cool? This comes in handy because some fonts are only lowercase, some are a mixture and some fonts do not make certain characters. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Now on to the winners:
Amanda- Reaching for the Top
Mrs. Nunley- First Grade Magic
Hooty's Hoomroom

Please email me your selections from my tpt store!

I seriously love fonts!!! It's a problem. I know there have been tons of font linky parties but I'm always finding more fonts. I would love for you to join my font linky party. I have it broken down into specific categories. This helps me organize my fonts for different purposes.



Grab this picture and add your favorite fonts for specific purposes.
