New Home Card

 Morning and first of all I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for all the messages, comments on my  blog, cards and flowers I received too really much appreciated-thank you all.

I have a few cards I made but not blogged so thought I would post one to get blogging again and occupy my mind besides endless form filling and word searches.

I made one of my favourite folds, an upright Z fold card, just using the pretty papers from Stamperia. I cut another number, butterfly and the home sentiment out of the papers and put onto 3D foam pads.

Geez I am too old for change lol-everything was to simple on the computer but getting used to this laptop is something else-took Helen nearly an hour to figure out how to upload my pics from phone and now I have no idea how to add a watermark!!!

  2. Your card is so pretty and I love that door with the boots outside. It's great to see you posting again, but I'm glad you had someone help you with your laptop. I bought one several years ago and gave it away because I had no clue how to use it.

  3. Beautiful card Carol, so glad your posting again its not the same when our favourite bloggers go missing.
    I hope things are being sorted in your favour. As for the laptop, I did have one but ended up giving it to Mia, it drove me nuts, I am more a desk top person, I can never upload from my phone either but so many do. Speak soon. xx

I hate getting used to different technology too, my old brain just can't cope with it, but where there's a will there's a way and I'm sure you'll soon be on top of the new laptop.xx

  27. It is so lovely to see you posting again Carol!! And what a beautiful card this is. Such a gorgeous image and layout. I take photos of my cards using my phone then send them to myself via WhatsApp. I then open WhatsApp on my computer and save them to use on my blog. From there I can open with gimp and add my watermark. I was never any good trying to add the watermark on my phone lol. I am sure you will figure it all out in no time though!

    And with a wonderful new home card and a special bit of paper engineering.
    I'm sure you'll make friends with your laptop soon! Steep learning curves are no fun though - and very frustrating when it's to do with computing! xxx
