Our Seize the Birthday challenge this week was chosen by Jules and it's retro! Always fun. I love typewriters but don't have a typewriter stamp so borrowed one from a friend. I think of this colour combo and big stripes as being retro so thought it would make a good background. I tried to find a marker that matched the blue paper but nothing was quire right so I paper pieced it. The sentiment was printed off the computer and then I stamped around it.
Be sure to stop by the blog and give some crafty love to our Surprise Party Guest Karen, previous winner Nance, and the rest of the design team. Hope you're able to play along with us!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
