80 Words per Minute (or so)

Journaling: Mom was the perfect secretary. She attended Burroughs Business School in Omaha, Nebraska and was a week from graduating when she was offered a job at Northwestern Bell Telephone Company. Jobs were scarce in 1939, so she went to work. After scoring 100% on the entry exam, she received $65.00 dollars per month working in the payroll department. This was five dollars over scale due to her perfect score on the exam!fonts- 1942 Report, Courier

80 Words per Minute

I used Jady Day Studio My Life & Story: an Autobiography Kit ScrapMatters, for this page.

More in the Store Monday 6/26–Americana by Carina Gardner

The 4th of July is coming up in a week –the year is half over-UNBELIEVABLE!! For the occasion I made a patriotic card using Carina Gardner’s Americana.  The kit is at its patriotic best with lots of reds, whites, and blues, stars, stripes, and flags. I just love the little houses she included.  Check out Carina’s store at Jessica Sprague.com  for this and other fabulous products.  You will be glad you did.

On a Disney Kick

Last fall we went to Disneyland and had a wonderful time, but I have not made the pages.  Perhaps sorting the 1500 photos was too daunting of a task to get started.  Well this week I got busy and made a few Disney pages from kits I got at ScrapMatters. For the first two pages, I used My Magical Place by Haynay and Happy by Chelle’s Creations.

Click

I took part in a Jessica Sprague.com Speed scrap yesterday and made a page about my new camera. The speed scrap focused on your newest gadget. To make the page, I used  Liv–Click and iKari’s Alpha Bits-Stamped Chocolate.

Journaling: This little guy, the Sony Cybershot, is my newest attempt at finding a camera that will take pictures of grandkids on the go. I have my Nikon D90, which I use for most of my shots, but sometimes I need my “purse” camera. I still have the box on the counter, which tells you how new it is. It takes a nice still photo, but don’t they all! I will put it to the test today since my granddaughter has a baseball game at 3:00. Wish me luck.
