This is the 39th week of my personal 50-week States of the Union Challenge. Each week I research one of the 50 United States (in the order they attained statehood). I share tidbits of information about the state here on my blog and I create a card that is inspired by something about that state.
This week's state (the 39th one to attain statehood) is North Dakota
I decided to go with this bit of North Dakota information for my card's inspiration... In 1887, North Dakotan David Henderson Houston invented a camera. He named it by scrambling the first four letters of Dakota and adding a “K” to make Kodak.
I wanted the camera to be the focal part of my card, so I only colored the camera in the image. I hope it worked the way I intended.
You can find more photos/information about both my card and the state of North Dakota on my blog...

Jeanette this is fabulous!! What a fun thing that you do researching the States. I won a pub quiz once because I named North Dakota and South Dakota as different states LOL. Back to your card - I love it.

Super fun card, Jeanette. Love the image and the sentiment. I think coloring the camera and nothing else was a great idea. Fun!
