It is time for a new month of Our Mixed Media Moods! What is our Mixed Media Moods? ~Hosted by Deedee Catron and myself, we create a mood board every month and create projects around it, using the photos as inspiration!

I used vintage papers in my background, drawing from the stack of books and vintage typewriter.
