Meryl's Digital Dates

[tape]

I really like Meryl's sets of digital dates that are available in the store. However, I can't use them because they're in English and I normally scrap in Finnish (my mother tongue). Could anyone (Meryl?) tell me the name of the font used in the dates, or point me to a similar font, so that I could try my hand at making my own set? If they were available in Finnish, I would gladly buy them from DSP, but I'm afraid the market would be so small that it wouldn't be worth your time creating them!

I'll make sure Meryl sees your post.

I have her set of digital dates and the font she used is Stamped Kasbah, which can be found in the store: http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1459
I hope this helps. :)

Thanks everyone... Here's what I came up with. Had to use a little thinner font in the end because Finnish month names are so long. :) CC welcome!

Looks good, even if I can't read it....;)

[Meryl]

Sorry I have come in a tad late here - just seent he post. I don't want to start a tidal wave of request for this, but as I do still have the .psd files and you have purcased the set, perhaps I could change one of the sets for you? You would need to give me the months..... tha't all that needs changing, am I correct? Just let me know whic set it is :)

Hey, thanks anyway for the offer, that was so sweet and generous of you! :) The DSP font probably wouldn't have worked for the long names so it would have been a bit more work for you than just changing the text to Finnish. As you can see, I also changed the apostrophe before the year to a hyphen, as that's the way we do it in Finnish. :) To anyone who might be wondering, the text in my sample says 'marraskuu', which means November. 'kuu' = moon or month, it's included at the end of each month name in Finnish. 'marras' is an old word (not in current use) meaning dead - our month names are very expressive, lol.

That explains why I am so weird! I was born in the dead month!! Ha Ha!! :)

[tape]

LOL @ Vallie! November is a pretty dark time in Finland - short days and no snow yet to lighten up your way. I was born in toukokuu, the sowing month (May). Just for fun, here's a list of our month names:
January - tammikuu - oak month
February - helmikuu - pearl month
March - maaliskuu - earth month or sap month
April - huhtikuu - burnt-over clearing month (long story... lol!)
May - toukokuu - spring sowing month
June - kesäkuu - summer month
July - heinäkuu - hay month
August - elokuu - harvest month
September - syyskuu - autumn month
October - lokakuu - mud month
November - marraskuu - dead month
December - joulukuu - Yule month

Thanks Tanja, what interesting names they have :)

[Vallie]

That is an interesting list Tanja. Thanks for including it! I must say scrapbooking is increasing my education! :)

[Just Jan]

Very interesting!

Where but on DSP would you learn stuff like this? Thanks for teaching me something new.
