We want to see how clever you are in creating your fabulous designs! Soooo many possibilities! My team, the Tropical Hooters, is up this week to dazzle you! Here is what I came up with:
...and the inside:
See what I did there? I put my snarky, sarcastic remark on the FRONT of the card, instead of the inside! Can you just picture a secretary saying this when fielding phone calls for her boss? LOL! I used paper, a sticker and miscellany from October Afternoon's 9 to 5 collection. Love that useless info sticker! I stuck it on some scrap kraft paper, trimmed to size, then adhered. After adhering the secretary die cut with foam squares, I hand wrote the sentiment in. (Of course, they are now called administrative professionals. I Googled it to be sure! ☺) Let me tell ya, I was relieved to find a tiny alpha sticker sheet in my stash that had enough letters to finish all the words! LOL! How did I get them relatively even? I'll tell ya: I started with the word 'day' and worked my way up. I used a ruler and stuck the letters on the edge of it. Then after eyeballing how they were lined up, I pressed the tops of them onto the card while carefully peeling the ruler away. Just went over them again with my fingers to make sure they stuck well to the card.
I hope you get to play along with the Workplace challenge at Drunken Stampers this week! Don't forget to check out what my teammates came up with! Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

You know how many times I tell my boss that I am not a secretary and that word is archaic. LOL I also do the say the same thing. :) Great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN card. Love the inside with those letter stickers.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the card... LOVE your sense of humour.... but those letter stickers on the inside just MAKE IT!
ReplyDeleteDon't they remind you of typewriter keys? At least, that's what I thought! That's my story and I'm sticking with it! LOL!
DeleteLove that second card! Was and Exec Asst for years in my "former life" pre kids LOL! Great card :)
ReplyDeleteYep, that's hilarious! I think I need a Useless Information sticker, except I'd never use it, I'd just want to keep it in my stash forever. :D Love this, Chris! Way to rock the challenge!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the challenge, awesome card and thanks for information on how to line that many stickers up at the same time....I guess you have seen some of my use of stickers lol

ReplyDeleteThis is sooo cute!!! I just love your snarky comment and the useless sticker...gave me a giggle!!!
ReplyDeleteHa, look at you changing things up here, Chris! Too funny and too adorable! LOVE that Useless Info card! And awesome job with those tiny alpha stickers on the inside. I think even with a ruler, I wouldn't be able to get them so straight!
ReplyDeleteTOOOOOOOO cute, Chris! I love those papers and tags-- I must get them out and use them! What a fun card for a secretary (btw-- I didn't know it's Nat'l Administrative Professional day! Must put that on the calendar!)!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE how you've done the inside-- sooooooooooo perfect! YOU rock!
ps.... so sorry I've been MIA lately! I've been on vaca each weekend in October and we leave for a cruise tomorrow! I am hoping that I will be able to catch-up as soon as we get home! LOL! I told Trav "NO more vacas unit 2014"! I'm soooooo behind! LOL! THANKS for leaving so many wonderful comments on my blog! You made my week:)
Fantabulous card! I've often wanted to take a message for myself, or just say, SEND ME A TEXT. Thie lady on the card is so cute, she could probably tell anyone to shove it and get away with it. Do you think she keeps a flask in her desk? Oh, yes, love how you made the second card for the inside of this card. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that the snark on on the outside of the card! And you lined up everything perfectly on the INSIDE of the very same card- thanks for telling us how you did it- was this before or after a cocktail?! I have had people say that on the phone,,, annoying in life but totally funny on a card!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, Chris! I've always loved that 9 to 5 collection but never bought it. I love how you used it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card, Chris! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop by and thank you for the lovely comment you left on my final Moxie Fab World blog post. I had such an incredibly good time in the Moxie Fab World, and I'm *so glad* I got to know you there! Hugs and loves to you, my moxie fab friend! :)
Great card. Love the inside typewriter style. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteLOL is right, Chris! What a fabulous card!! As a secr, er, administrative professional for 45 years, I totally love it! I have a joke message slip that has a lot of that naughty f-word that cracks me up every time. I'm surprised I never actually said any of them ~ there were times when I came close!! I hope to get a chance to play this time! Hugs, Darnell
