Computer up in Flames

Morning everyone,well yesterday after-noon with no warning except a cloud of black foul smelling smoke my computer tower went up in flames literally.Luckily Matthew (son) was here and ripped all the cables out,and by this time literally seconds there were flames coming out of the tower and halfway up the front,as he had to take it through the hallway it set the fire alarms off -took 10 mins to stop them-the cat took off for a couple of hours and Ellie and Holly who were here for their tea were sat crying!!!.I was shaking at the thought if Matthew hadn't beeen here we wouldn't have got it out before it turned serious,and good fortune we were actually in and not in bed!!!It is now sat in the yard a pitiful sight!On the plus side after it was all over Ellie was glad she had something to write in her daily diary at school!
My card today is for the new challenge at CRAFTY GIRLS and that challenge is "ATG/Love is in the Air"Our sponsors are Aurora Wings and A Day For Daisies whose image "I DO" I used coloured with promarkers,papers are 7 Gypsies-Harmony,lace,twine,dies,flower,hearts, brad and liquid pearls from stash.I heat embossed the heart with gold and doesn't look as bright as the photo,and made my favourite uprightZ-fold card.

Love the folding on this card (I'm fold challenged!) Such pretty colors. Glad your scary incident passed w/o becoming even more serious. I'm not sure my brain would think rapidly enough to cope with that kind of thing. We had a fan go out & burn something in the tower, but nothing smoked or anything. I had let too much dust build up inside. Glad your Matthew was there and knew just what to do! Just became your newest follower, thank you for your visit today, and hope you'll find time to come again. I'm off to enjoy a few more of your posts, as I glimpsed another 'folded card' in an earlier posting! TFS & Hugs
