Still extremely busy running errands, so I combined today's WT challenge (to use office supplies), with this week's sketch, and last week's F4A to make a holiday card other than Christmas or Hannekah.
I did alter this week's sketch a bit. Since the sentiment was on the image, I did not put a separate sentiment below it. I am going to use this for Valentine's. It is easy mass produced card :-)
Thanks so much for looking. Hope you like it.
NOTE: I tried to give the paper in the typewriter the appearance of onion skin paper. We used that when we were sending a very nice letter to a client. Btw, I learned how to type on a typewriter like this. I am so OLD - lol!

You're not old...just one of the group who learned to type on this machine....long ago. I had a class in HS, but it never took...I'm still a 6-finger typist. : ) Really a neat image and will make cute valentines for your "vintage" friends, Barb.

Super card! I love the thin red borders around your monochromatic borders! I took typing in high school on a machine not too different than this one. Typing and latin are the two subjects I have used the most from my HS days! :-)

LOL, I learned on a typewriter like that too, and I wish I'd kept it. My dad had a really neat little Remington portable one, but I wasn't allowed near it. Fabulous card.
Great card!! My Grandpa gave me a typewriter similar to this years ago and I LOVED it! There was just something about pressing down those keys and hearing the letter jump up and whack the page. Thanks for sharing!

Yep - learnt to type on this type of typewriter too - have the arthritic fingers to prove it as well. Oh dear this brings back memories (good and bad). Great card.

First this is a classy card.....thanks for giving many of us some memories of how we learned to type. I can still remember my teacher telling us to scratch those keys. Then the electric ones were so much easier. Fun going down memory lane.

I remember these typewriters! My Mom had one and I remember her typing away typing the church bulletin. She made is look so easy! I learned to type on an electric typewriter, which are soooo obsolete now! Love your card!
