"Text Me" CFC#60 and Retro Sketches#19

This week' challenge at CAS-ual Fridays:

 is to use text on a clean and simple project. I have a hard time with clean-and-simple. My cards always end up looking a little crowded, no matter how I hard I try. Combining this challenge with the sketch this week at RetroSketches helped to keep things relatively clean...

I liked the idea of creating a notebook page, and I found this stamp in my collection from {The Stamps of Life}: type4backgrounds. I stamped it, used a Fiskars punch for the border and mounted it on black card-stock. 

Text-speak inspired the sentiment:

 and the diagonal effect on the text block (kind of reminds me of "The Matrix!") is because I covered up all the "U's." Too corny?

I am submitting this project to both CFC60 and RetroSketches19. There's still time to play! The CAS-ual Fridays challenge ends Thursday at noon, but the Retro Sketches challenge is open through midnight this Thursday.
