Have I mentioned my love for Die Cuts With a View metallic paper? It cuts like buttah on the Silhouette, has just enough shimmer to make things look fancy, and the silver color looks great on any card. For example, this fancy-looking silver, gray, and black anniversary card for a friend:
To answer your most pressing question, the font is
Algeria with the shadows removed (simply "ungroup" your text in Silhouette Studio, then double click the letter/number and delete the unwanted points). Of course, while trying to find the link, I came across
this font which is almost the same, but with the shadows removed. Doh! But at least I know for next time, right?
The rest of the card: Polka dot paper is My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Out of the Blue paper pack, black scalloped circle with Silhouette Studio file, I made an offset shadow of the letters in black, and the numbers are up on foam tape and they look fabulous:
That little swirl at the top of the five just kills me!
In other news, the kids show up today at school. I'm pretty excited about my schedule, plus I'm having some kids for the second year in a row and they're the type I actually like to have twice, so I'm hoping it might be another good year like last year. Plus with my new haircut, I can sleep in an extra 15 minutes! Bonus!

I think Meg is the new awesome, personally. Love the font choices -- and the colors, of course! That 5 just kills me too. Happy first day, my dear!
I recently got my first pack of Die Cuts With a View paper pack and I have to say it is now my FAVORITE paper to cut with my Silhouette. I have never had paper cut so beautifully before. Can't wait to get more more more!!!

This is so gorgeous, Meg! I love it. :)
