For this week's punctuation wtui challenge. The sentiment stamp set is ancient: Back in the early '90's, Embossing Arts was still in business, and their factory was near enough that I could visit the factory store on occasion. (I also taught a couple classes there...) They had large tubs of factory seconds, and I spent lots of time, nose down, searching out salvageable rubber. Do you see the question marks and exclamation points in the circle? They're from an alphabet set. The sentiment set was also rescued from the rejects bins. The inside sentiment for this card is the "... I'm thinking of you." phrase. You can see the other possiblities. My favorite is "...adjust!", followed closely by "...charge it!".
I added the newsprint bg to fit with this week's free-for-all challenge, and added the flourishes and dots to fill in blank spaces.

Cute card and love seeing that stack of stamps. I've never been fortunate to have a stamp factory nearby. However, I do remember diving into the bins at stamp shows to find treasures. Had to have a trusty mirror along to read them!

Oh, the good old days.... there used to be an All Night Media (well Delta or whoever the parent company is) outlet not to far from my house -- you could get wooded-mounted stamps for as little as a quarter. Your medallion with question marks and exclamation points is very clever.

What a great way to use the punctuation! I still have to do that challenge so you've got me thinking! Love this card fold and the way you left a clear space in your newsprint background for your sentiment. I like Adjust! as well!
