This card is for Sabrina's Ways to Use It challenge. When I saw this challenge I knew straight away which stamp and die set I wanted to use, plus I also had some typewriter/typographer emphera.
This didn't take long to come together once I had decided what I was going to do. The main thing for me is when to stop, hence I added the additional scrap of typewriter patterned paper at the bottom and now wish I had left it off. It probably will be taken off...later.
I do love this stamp and die set and being an ex touch typist/stenographer/PA many many moons ago typewriters and paper appeal to me. You never lose your touch when you've learnt to touch type and it is something I can impress DH with LOL.
TFL. Happy day and keep well

I took typing in summer school long long ago because I couldn't fit it in the regular course work. Best decision ever and I think being a pianist really helped. I was used to touch and not looking at my hands. I love all your ephemera and images. Very awesome creation!

Oh gosh, Jayne - you had not just the perfect stamp and die but what great papers and little extras by way of ephemera. l really like the close-up of the keys. It also reminds me of the old cash registers! Touch typing is a great skill to have - and so much easier on a modern keyboard, too.
