Trudy has a great attitude and very helpful advice.
I love the before and after samples of her cards. They are proof of how image strength
and the correct font makes or breaks a card.
Picking fonts is an art unto itself, as well as the knowledge of how to work with them in regards to leading, kerning, line breaks, etc.

Kudos to Trudy for working so hard to learn and improve her store.
