October Afternoon 9 to 5 Blog Hop


Welcome to my stop on the October Afternoon 9 to 5 blog hop! (I'm assuming most of you have landed here from Becky Novacek's blog. If you have just randomly arrived here and want to start at the beginning of the hop, go to the October Afternoon blog.) Today we're celebrating one of October Afternoon's newest lines. 9 to 5 has a retro office theme, but offers lots of great basic patterns as well, including florals, plaids, and stripes. You can see the entire line on the October Afternoon website.

I used 9 to 5 products to create this layout about my daughter and her new vintage typewriter:



I combined three cards from the Miscellany pack with a tin pin, a label sticker, and a title die cut from the oh-so-fabulous Boardroom woodgrain patterned paper. I used a typewriter font for my journaling and included a phrase cut from the piece of paper my daughter actually typed on. (For those curious about the fonts I used here, the title is Pacifico and Dock 11 combined and the journaling is Typenoksidi.)

Be sure to visit all of the stops on the blog hop, as we're each giving away different bits of the line, with a grand prize of a 9 to 5 Collection Kit being given away on the October Afternoon blog! Be sure to leave a comment here to win a pack of 9 to 5 buttons: 


The button winner will be posted on Wednesday, April 25th, so feel free to leave comments here up through 8:00 pm MDT on Tuesday, April 24th.

Now it's on to the next stop in the 9 to 5 blog hop: Danni Reid's blog!
