Happy Monday friends! It’s time for a new inspiration challenge. I picked up this postcard at the Postal Museum in Washington DC and thought it would translate into a fun layout:
I liked the slant and how the spaces had fun little frames in some of the placeholders. Here’s my interpretation:
Scenes from a much warmer time. I’m so done with winter – this after getting another ton of snow dumped on us last Friday. Hopefully Spring with make an appearance soon – I’m tried of winter boots and coats. I want to get out and walk!
I dropped off the Calvinball/blog wagon last week – I had a lot of work that drained my creativity. I hope I’ll get my mojo back this week!

Love your different inspiration and great interpretation. We’re still melting here. It has been the hottest series of days EVER (10 consecutive days over 30 degrees Celsius). It is like the middle of summer and so hot at night we can’t sleep. Can I swap?!
Ha! Unfortunately I’m like Goldilocks, I don’t like it too hot or too cold. I would melt over there. Hope it cools down for you soon Esther! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Super page – I have a template I made last year for a stamp, so I must look it out. Great inspiration as always.
Great interpretation of a very interesting piece! I have seen quite a few layouts with a slant lately but have not dared trying myself. I love anything postal so of course the little stamp frames are perfect to me!
You look great in short hair! I get the urge every couple of years to go short then hate my life for like a year. I just don’t have the fetreaus for it. My faves are Feb, May (cute shot) and now. You look great as a blonde and a redhead. It’s no fair!
