Just my type (and something for you)

Hello and welcome! And I am very, very ...

to see you :). Inbetween a gazillion mini-crises (you will all know what that's like), I have escaped to my trusty and much-loved typewriter, taken a photo, and then hopped in and out of Waterlogue and Photoshop in a micro-managing sort of way to make these ...  And I thought: "Oooh, a little bit of brighter colour might be fun?" Especially since this boot in a diary-with-a-difference page just seemed to need a little journalling card with a flash of amber ...

 And, well, you know how it goes: one thing just seemed to lead to another. So this is ...

 ... that another little crop of funky watercolour typewriters hatched beneath my fingers ...

... and I have popped all eight onto a couple of pdfs for you below, with a layered psd. file for Photoshop or Elements. Just in case you are mad about typewriters too :).

Each card is 3"x4", and the pdfs are printer-ready for the standard paper size where you live. I'm thinking ...

• a greetings card with a row of little typewriters and a handwritten, stamped or typed letter spelling out 'Happy' on the front. or 'Hello' or 'For You' or a name perhaps? And the rest of the greeting inside, like Birthday, Anniversary ...
  
  
• tags for presents; or a tag added to a card
  
  
• a journalling card, typed or handwritten and popped onto a paper or digital layout or Project Life page

But being such a creative bunch, you will be able to think of many more! So please do help yourself to any which take your fancy. Or all of them. From me to you xxx.

Uh-oh. Chaos calls! See you soon?
