It says, oh, it’s a Disney font. So this font, if I wanted to use it, I’d have to pay for it. I’m not gonna do that, and I also want a writing font. So what I’m gonna do is go up to the filter menu here in the upper right of that font menu. And I can sort these fonts by multi-layer, single layer, and writing, and we’ll save for offline too, but we’re not doing that right now. So I’m gonna click writing and it’s gonna show me only fonts that will have a writing option.
Materials Cheatsheet
It’s just a couple of minutes. All right, so it says that it’s all done and we can unload our material. You get this little box at the top and you can just dismiss it up here. And unloading, again, is the flashing arrow that’s up and down here. This one’ll be harder to see, but I’ll try to show it to you anyways.

And if we click it, it’s a lock icon. And if we unlock it, that unlocks, it’s a ratio lock on it so that it no longer maintains the ratio between the height and the width.

Now when it’s selected, we have, you can see its measurements right here and right here on this side. We also have access to these four tools. And this little toggle here for mirror is only if you’re doing iron-on vinyl, which we’re not doing tonight, so we will ignore that. If for some reason you wanted to make multiple copies of your certificate, you can change this here and click apply and it will duplicate for you, and it will do that.

So I’m gonna click on weld and there we go. When I go to make it, you’ll see it retained that shape. So this is how you can create designs from scratch. And, of course, now go ahead and click cancel, you know, you may not have any interest in doing two hearts like this, but you could do so many things with these tools. There’s really a lot of options. Now, the one thing that I didn’t show you, and let’s just go back so I can be complete here, we’re gonna undo and go back until got, our two hearts are separate again.
Now there’s a number of ways that you can join things and they’re easy to confuse with one another, so let’s talk about them. When you’re ready to start a project, scroll back up to the first screen I showed you and click on the big PLUS SIGN icon called “New Project” in the “My Projects” row. Alternately, you can click on the green “New Project” button in the upper right corner of the window. Add depth to your card and paper projects with Kate's tips on making paper flowers.

We need, and also it’s like, not even like centered or anything. It doesn’t look like a certificate to me, so we need to do a few things here. Now don’t go double clicking this file. It’ll just be confusing and it won’t lead you. It won’t like open up magically in Design Space, which would be wonderful, but it doesn’t do that.
So the plus makes it bigger, and this is not the actual item getting bigger, just your view of it. And the minus will make the view of your design smaller, so if you need to get in there and see fine details. All right, so here’s our heart. When we click on it, that means that we’re selecting it. So if I click away, you’ll see that that box that was around it disappears, and when we click on it, the box comes back and it goes all around the edges of the image.

"It really tells the story of our background. How we're immigrants, bringing all the good stuff in Vietnamese food culture to the world and putting it in a cup of coffee." At Coffeeholic House, each of those cups is another chance to share Vietnamese coffee culture with Seattle. "[The cheese foam] is kind of salted, so it's a little bit weird, but when they take the first sip and the coffee goes through the foam it's just perfectly blended together. It's like a dessert in a cup, but it's strong and bold," explained Dien with a smile. One of the staples at Coffeeholic House is traditional Vietnamese coffee made with Phin drip coffee and condensed milk for a serious caffeine kick.

Back home in L.A., as the newlyweds pondered their future, they became preoccupied with a promontory of land jutting out like the prow of a ship from Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills, about 125 feet above Sunset Boulevard. It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue. “This lot was in pure view—every morning, every night,” Carlotta Stahl recalled. Locals called it Pecker Point, presumably because it was a prime makeout venue. For the Stahls, it became the blank screen on which they projected their dreams of a life together, a place to build a future, a family, and a house like no other. Our coffee is single origin, carefully selected and imported directly from Da Lat, Vietnam.

Opening at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic’s first wave in Seattle’s Columbia City neighborhood, Coffeeholic House has been offering a welcome slice of contemporary Vietnamese coffee culture. One of the things that sets Vietnamese coffee apart is the beans themselves, Robusta, as opposed to the Arabica beans typically used for more coffee and espresso drinks in the States. “This place is an absolute MUST if you visit Seattle, especially if you're a fan of Vietnamese coffee.

Thanks equally to the owners’ inspiring flexibility and their original coffee drinks, Columbia City’s Coffeeholic House is an extremely welcome bright spot. In her spare time, she enjoys cycling, cooking, frequenting the Bellevue Downtown Park with her family and searching for the perfect chocolate treat. Even as the shop has seen a steady flow of foot traffic during the pandemic, the owners are naturally looking forward to a time when guests can more deeply take in their Vietnamese-inspired surroundings. After working in coffee since their teenage years, Dien and Cao signed a lease on the Columbia City storefront in July of 2019. Following months of permitting, inspections and a meticulous buildout, the grand opening unfortunately coincided with the pandemic surge, and the shop opened with just takeout and curbside pickup.

Columbia City’s Vietnamese cafe Coffeeholic House opened its second location in Greenwood at the beginning of October. Sourcing coffee directly from Vietnam, Coffeeholic offers modern takes on traditional Vietnamese drinks, like its ube latte (Purple Haze), and best-seller Coffeeholic Dream, made with salted cheese foam. About two months after their dash to Las Vegas, the Stahls decided to drive up to this mystery spot and have a look around. They found themselves gawping at the entirety of Los Angeles spread out below in a grid that went on for an eternity or two. In the kismet-filled conversation that followed, Buck agreed to buy the barren one-eighth-acre lot for $13,500, with $100 down and the seller maintaining the mortgage until the Stahls paid it off.

Chen Dien and his wife worked for about a year to get the coffee shop off the ground. Since they came to Seattle eight years ago from Vietnam, Chen Dien and his wife Trang Cao have searched for a cup of coffee that could, for a sip, transport them home. When they couldn’t find it, they decided to make it themselves. Back at the shop, Dien and Cao continue to offer a menu that includes espresso-based drinks alongside drinks made through traditional Vietnamese phin brewing devices. "People think [Robusta] is just cheap coffee. It's something you use for instant coffee, $2-$3 collars a cup," said Dien.

In February 2000, Norwegian Cruise Line was acquired by Genting Hong Kong Limited (formerly Star Cruises Ltd.) for approximately $1.8 billion.

CruiseNext Credits and CruiseNext Haven Credits are both valid for sailings of three days or longer. It has seven (soon to be eight) elegant midsize ships, carrying from 670 to 1,250 passengers each. Oceania's culinary offerings are second to none in the industry, but that's expected with an executive culinary director as prestigious as French chef Jacques Pepin. Created in 2002 by Frank Del Rio, longtime president and CEO of NCLH, Oceania Cruises is a luxury line that's a bit more affordable than some of the other luxury brands because it doesn't have as many amenities included in its fares. If you want to partake in specialty dining reservations, Wi-Fi, Norwegian cruise excursions or upgraded beverage packages, you'll have to pay fees (sometimes bundled for greater savings).
Sun Class
The fleet's six vessels are on the smaller side, with the largest carrying just 750 passengers. That makes for more intimate experiences and fewer onboard crowds. Regent operates as an ultra-luxury, nearly all-inclusive brand — perhaps the most lavish and expensive of any cruise line. It features fine linens, fantastic food, cooking classes, extensive onboard art collections and marble bathrooms. Its fares include things like gratuities, alcohol, Wi-Fi and even some shore excursions. When the line changed hands in 2008, Prestige Cruises International, Inc. was created as an umbrella company for Regent and Oceania.
Breakaway Class
BookSafe provides coverage for loss, theft, damage or delay of your luggage and personal belongings brought with you on the cruise.

What Happens If I Have To Cancel My Trip?
If you’re scrolling through endless Norwegian Cruise Line reviews, let this complete guide to the cruise company give you the larger overview of what sets this brand apart from the rest. There are some interesting innovations from Norwegian that other cruise lines have since adopted, but they started here. The company dates back to 1966 when it got its start as a Norwegian shipping company. Today, it has become one of the more popular mainstream cruise brands and is part of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, which also includes the Regent Seven Seas and Oceania brands. For the ultimate in luxury at sea, try out The Haven by Norwegian. The Haven collection features the most luxurious staterooms located at the top of the ship.
Its loyalty program, onboard amenities and variety of cabin types offer something for every type of traveler. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is one of the top players in large-ship cruising, and its fleet is seeing one of its biggest refits in decades with its new Prima fleet of ships. Norwegian Cruise Line ships are also known for their colorful hull art that makes them stand out in ports around the world. We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with confidence. Norwegian Cruise Line isn’t totally all-inclusive, but it’s close. Each ship will have numerous restaurants to eat at that are included in your fare.

The usual dress code is informal during the day and smart-casual at night -- think nice trousers and shirt for men and nice pants/skirts with blouse or cocktail dress for women.

The two optional vessels were ordered in November 2023 and scheduled for deliveries in 2026 May (MSC World Asia) and 2027 February (MSC World tbn). The building cost (per unit) is EUR 1,125 billion, the shipbuilder is STX France. This is an intelligent video capturing, image processing and analysis system that was tested and tuned on the cruise ship for over 25,000 hours, resulting in confirmed accuracy level of 97%. The real-time video data (provided by the ship's HD CCTVs) is monitored and analyzed in a central security center by 2 independent image processing systems, which significantly lowers false alerts. In early-August 2018, MSC signed an agreement for EUR 1,5 billion (USD 1,74B) for financing both Seaside-EVO liners.
The Green Wave restaurant
Meraviglia-Plus features include the first-at-sea Fine Art Museum with original artworks, an additional space allowing bigger indoor Promenade (length 111 m / 36 ft), two additional restaurants, and a larger outdoor LED screen (95x6 m / 280x20 ft). MSC signed an exclusive partnership with both Samsung (providing the technology) and Cirque du Soleil (live show programming). Since November 15th, the shipboard children's and teen's clubs (fleetwide/facilities for kids ages 12 to 17) operate with extended opening hours and longer live entertainment (8 hours daily). The company's expanded youth programming also includes more and new organized/supervised activities (sports, aquapark entertainment, kids-themed dinners, a different game show for teens every night/followed by a disco). MSC Cruises boasts a strong fleet of award-winning ships which also happens to be one of the youngest fleets at sea. Expect elegant décor which may include Italian marble, Swarovski crystal stairs, private enclaves, and vaulted transparent ceilings when you step aboard one of MSC's fine European vessels.
For instance, at the time of publication, four-night sailings from Miami to the Bahamas in September 2024 start at just $249 per person, not including taxes and fees of $100. That works out to just $87.25 per person, per night, with taxes and fees, for a package that includes your lodging, transportation and meals. It's not uncommon to find MSC Cruises voyages to the Caribbean and the Bahamas from under $75 per person, per night, including all taxes and fees — at least in the offseason.
Indulge in the luxury of a private club, while enjoying access to the myriad recreation and entertainment possibilities that the rest of the ship affords. The shows take place twice a night, six nights a week, only at the Carousel Lounge, a glamorous, modern, technology-packed venue. Taste our Signature Cocktail while you enjoy a pre-show followed by this unique entertainment experience.
You can also get an entire pie made to order and delivered to your cabin for $6-$10. PizzaFor pizza to be pointed out as a difference with other cruise lines, you know the pie on MSC must be pretty good. We’re used to meeting the room steward on the first day of the cruise, and then seeing them regularly each day coming to and from the room. What’s different with MSC is that the amount of included restaurants — and the number of restaurants in particular — are sparse.
Summer 2024 itineraries (22 ships) include departures out of Southampton England UK (ship Virtuosa). Ex-UK voyages range from 4-night short breaks (GBP 260), 7-night (GBP 650) and a 14-night sailing (departing September 7th, to Casablanca Morocco, the Canaries and Lisbon/prices starting at GBP 1450). With its newbuilds, MSC attracts a large number of retirees during winter and targets families with kids during summer and the school holidays.
MSC Cruises may not be huge in North America just yet, but that’s quickly changing. While the big three cruise lines — Carnival, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean — may get most of the headlines, MSC is actually just as large and even larger than some of those names. Le Cabaret Rouge aft lounge will provide live performances, singers, dancers, aerialists, contortionists, and many more specialty acts bringing the Roaring 20’s back to life.
