Hello everyone
I have had a bit of a disaster this weekend - my 15 year old laptop died!! What a catastrophe!! I didn't realise how much I relied on my little trusty laptop for updating my blog, editing photos and of course writing my college assignments until it was gone. Luckily my sister was updating her laptop so I have been given her old one (I am told it is a notebook but it looks like a laptop to me). It has trial and error with the photo editing programme due to this being a more modern machine but hopefully I will get better with practice.
Now onto the crafting........
The challenge this month at Penny Black and more is birthdays. Here is my card for the challenge -

Nightmare Lesley, does that mean the dreaded Windows 8 is being thrust upon you ? Had it for a few months now and still hate it and would you believe I still prefer my poor old Vista machine for e.mails and the like.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow your card, a gorgeous creation, liking the subtle pastel colours and the sentiment really pops by off setting it.
Many thanks for joining in with us at Penny Black and More challenge this month.

No windows 8 for me. Because my "new" laptop was donated to me it uses windows 7 which is a steep learning curve too!

A fabulous card Lesley. Gorgeous colours and full of fun. I am sure the recipient loved the card.
ReplyDeleteOh I so sympathise with you over your laptop. I accidentally tipped a full mug of coffee into mine just recently and I too lost everything. Windows 8 is a nightmare and I will never get used to it. It must have been a man who designed it. he he
Thank you for sharing your lovely work with us at Penny Black and More and we hope you will join us again next month.
