This is the card I made for the Tuesday Throwdown challenge this week. It is a double challenge: Thinking of You and send a card to Operation Write Home. I may have some embellies on mine that won't be good for OWH guidelines but I think I can make it work. My Grafico is furnishing the prize for a lucky winner this week. http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.com/

This is awesome Benzi. Love that vintage background paper as the backdrop for the cute typewriter image. Your twine and flowers are superb. I love this layout. I haven't done one like this before. I think you might just have inspired me!!! lol

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Wow, Benz, your DP is so perfect. Love that typewriter, never actually got to use a manual typewriter, but I did learn how to type on an IBM selectric (pre-computers). The flowers are beautiful and love the bottom trim band.

Benzi goes vintage???? OMG, you did an incredible job on this. I know this isn't your normal style, but perhaps you should do more. This is outrageously beautiful and so interesting with all the details. I just figured out why you are so good at it - it's vintage - which means OLD!! Can't put anything past zee fruitcake!
