All else being equal and knowing nothing else about Stitching Belle or her situation, I'd say, between the two, look at Humanities first. It's very very similar to liberal studies but a more specific and focused subset of them. It could give a bit of an edge in working in or around the arts somehow someday.
And I think there's a lot to say FOR Communications. Communications is one step away from marketing, and a step or two from organizational management. It's also a step away in the other direction from sociology and psychology. Along with Economics, Communications has to be one of the best subjects you can spin as an applied, management subject on the one hand, and a social science, liberal studies, creative - this last might be a harder sell for economics - subject on the other. And you'll know how to spin it. You're in communications!
Admittedly, there probably is a stereotype out there where Communications is an easy degree for college athletes and people who like to talk.
