It's been a while since I joined the fun at The Cure for the Monday Blues Challenge. I love the clean simplicity of this week's Inspiration Photo.
I loved the text on The Paper Bag, the wood grain, the laptop and the tiny bit of blue on the shelves above the desk, so those are the elements I incorporated into my design.
I used a page from a vintage book for my text, and stamped my MFT LLD At the Office sentiment on the border of the same page (I always look for books with big page borders for my collection).
Instead of a laptop, I used vintage typewriter from Hero Arts. I finished with a bit of blue ribbon and scattering of sequins using this week's CAS(E) this Sketch & Tag You're It! Challenge.
I'm also linking-up at A2Z Scrapbooking where the challenge theme is Encouragement.
Yay, welcome back to my challenge - I always love seeing your work! Wonderful how you pulled in such an array of items from the inspiration and made them work so seamlessly together! Thanks so much for playing to find a Cure For The Monday Blues!

Thanks so much for taking part in the new "Encouragement" Challenge over at the a2z Scrapbooking blog!! I love that your were able to create this one card and make it work out so well for a variety of challenges!!
The sentiment is perfect for our theme and I also love that vintage typewriter--Guess I'm a bit vintage myself, since I first learned how to type on very much that style!! :)
Thanks again! Great WORK!
