I have spent the last week and a half in the seven circles of computer hell. My old Mac has been on it's last legs for a while and I finally got a new one but was not prepared for how few things would transfer easily from one to the other. Quicken and Canon's ImageBrowser are now the bane of my existence and at the moment it's taking both computers in order to accomplish editing and uploading photos. I'm slowly figuring things out but in the meantime there are a lot of bad words being said and I apologize for not visiting anyone lately. I will be back as soon as I can sit at the computer for more that 10 minutes without wanting to throw it out the window!
I did finally mange to get a few cards made and uploaded today including this one for the Play Date Cafe. I used the new Dreamcatcher set that I won from Market Street Stamps latest release. That first feather is actually an evergreen color but I'm still getting the hang of my new photo editing as per above!! I'm also going to enter this in the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Grey, evergreen) Bazzill, (Rasperry Ripple, Lucky Limeade) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Dreamcatcher) Market Street Stamps
Ink: (VersaMark) Tsukineko
Embossing Powder: (Seafoam White) Ranger
Gems: (Bubblegum & Lily White assortments) DoodlebugCopic: YG23 & BG09
What a fabulous stamp set -- awesome that you won it! And an awesome card you've made with it, of course. The white embossing is perfect. Good luck with the new computer... never fun. :(
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating for you Jen! I love the embossing on your card, it really makes the colours of the feathers pop :)

ReplyDeleteLearning new computer ways always makes me say bad words, even occasionally invent new ones. Seven circles of computer hell - I'm going to have to remember that phrase! Sucky.

welcome back....ugh, sorry to hear about your computer icks. As I look on my work top I have a mac mini and a macbook pro...need both, the mac mini is for photo editing but burns out after too much use and shuts down...so that why I have to do it quickly and then hop on the macbook pro. I just need to break down and get an external card reader...anywho's...I'm soooo happy to have you back and wow...love your take on the colors! Excellent! Thanks for joining us at The Play Date Cafe!
