MFW - Tuesday Trigger Type Hype

Moxie Fab World has another fun Tuesday Trigger Challenge -  Type Hype that gets an  "a"  from me!      :o) 

Isn't the inspiration photo of this old-timer just the cutest?
Ahhh, no, not talking about my Blog pic over there in the corner!


I don't have any of those cute typewriter stamps like I've seen out there, don't have any great patterned papers with typewriters (that I can readily put my fingers on) either, but I did find a Rub-Ons from Studio Calico which is from a Moxie Fab prize package I won a while back ~ thank you, Cath!  I think it works (?).  It isn't black and it isn't red..it's kinda orangey-redish though, so  I just added the inspiration photo colors in other ways. 






My Card ~ click on the photo for more details

The typewritten note sticking out is from my sweet blog friend  Karin Akesdotter, who has a whole page of these little gems you can download from her Blog HERE    Karin's card in this challenge is #4 ~ now isn't that the coolest?

Cardstock:  Base card White Stamper's Select and True Black is  from PTI;  Glitter Red from DCWV Glitter Stack

Embellishments:  Yellow polka dots 'washi tape' from Target;  Typewriter & Alpha letters are Studio Calico Rub-Ons; 
Twill Tape from Simplicity
Tools: Labels Eight die from Nestabilities; corner rounder from EKSuccess 

Thank you for stopping by and especially for taking the time to comment ~ You all really mean so much to me :)
