Week 644 'I love...' At allsorts
It's my turn to host the challenge over at Allsorts challenge this week. I've chosen the theme of "I love...".
I love typewriters. I have so many dies and stamps of typewriters. Also I have this poster on the wall above the PC. It's actually a piece of wrapping paper, but as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to frame it. Brings back so many memories of learning to type all those years ago, and a skill that serves me well to this day.
also I have typewriter jewellery and some made with old typewriter keys too
So you see I really do love typewriters!
For my DT card I chose to use the typewriter in my Lawn Fawn set. I love this sentiment that you can put on a pull out, which you can see below.
I kept the design fairly simple using the dies to cut out the elements from the set (and a mug from a sizzix set!). I finished it off with a little hand drawn border.
This week we have two prizes. £15 to spend at

Great idea to frame the typewriter wrapping paper, makes for a really fun wall decoration in the office/craft room!
Today's kids are surely missing out on learning how to type on a typewriter, it's just not the same doing it on the computer :) I still have my old typewriter in my old childhood/teen home back in Germany but it wasn't quite as old as those pictured.
Happy crating
