R.I.P. Steve

Back in 1984, I was in the fourth grade. We were all excited because we had just had a computer lab set up in our elementary school. And this was the first year we could use it. The room was full of excited 9 and 10 year olds ohhhing and ahhing over these amazing machines. We didn’t know we were learning, we were playing games. Making a message scroll repeatedly across the screen, playing math games. The computers, were Apple IIc. We thought we were seeing science fiction come to life.

Now, after elementary school, I never had another computer experience until 2000 when I got my first. But I still remember those Apple IIc computers. I didn’t even buy an Apple product until a few years ago when we all got iPods. And up until this year, that was it. Then I finally moved from Droid to iPhone, and got myself a Wi-Fi iPad 2, and my school life has never been easier. But that’s not what made Steve Jobs a legend.

What he did, putting computers in the hands of hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of school students, back in 1984, and then in peoples homes with the Macintosh that followed…that’s what stands out to me. He didn’t raise the bar, he placed it. And as of yet, noone has really caught up.

Background by unlikely tool! I used a makeup wedge dipped in an inkpad for the background. I finally found a white Gelly Roll pen, and the silver is from “outliners” as I knew them, now known as Memory Liners.

Today’s card! I did the background with white gesso mixed with a drop of magenta acrylic and ultramarine acrylic paints. The flowers are some el cheapo metallic acrylics I found at Michael’s. And the rest is stamping.

My card for today. I’m trying to put nice phrases and positive quotes on all of them so when it’s all done I’ll have a stack of good advice. Made by cutting up a gift bag for the flower pattern and wording. Also used Acrylic paints for the background colors and stamped images.

I think I missed posting some of these. So here’s the catchup via Flickr.

Also, hubby just got home from drill School. He’s officially a Drill Sgt, and we’re getting ready to move cross country in less than a month. So if I vanish, that is where. I’ll still be on Twitter (TheLadyJess) of course.
