I'm this week's Ways to Use It challenge. Today is National Retro Day, my challenge is Time for a Blast From the Past! I'm dipping into my stash for paper and the fun snippet from a retro calendar. I just picked up the embossing folder and tape. It mimics the Dymo label maker. I stamped and embossed the sentiment, stapled a square from the calendar, layered it on a black card base and finished it off with the label. TFL
Hope you'll play along with my challenge.

That background paper nails it for me. I thought I had some for my card, but could not find it. That star burst was the graphic design of the 50's it seemed!

I thought maybe the couple were a 'real' tv couple. She looks pretty smug. Love all your retro stuff. Someday I will score a real Dymo. I'm going to tell Susan to watch out for one.
