It’s Gotta Grab It time at Gotta Pixel. I love this month’s color swatch. Word Art World has five pieces for $1 each through January 17th. Sassy and Classy is definitely a girly kit, but I think it works great for heritage pages also.

When I first saw the kit previews, I noticed the typewriter and thought that it would be perfect for a photo of my Grandma hard at work. Journaling is adapted from a personal history my Aunt Karen wrote up before Alzheimer’s stole my Grandma’s memories. Journaling reads: In 1947 at age 17, HIlda obtained an apprenticeship at Kraftanlage A.G. with the help of her Uncle Rudi, who worked there as a designer. A civil enginnering firm, Kraftanlage A.G. designed underground heating. The training at the business school lasted about a year and then she became a secretary. She worked there until 1954. One of her co-workers, Ellen Stadler, set her up on a blind date November 21, 1951, which led to her future husband. Ellen’s sister, Martha Stadler, had a fiancé, Charlie Homoloc, who had a friend, John. Charlie and John were both US soldiers. Photo taken in 1953.

My second layout is for the Tempting Template Challenge at Gotta Pixel. The yellow of the kit wasn’t quite the same yellow of Janette’s dress, but I felt it was a good fit for these photos anyway.
