Good evening. I have just got a new computer so I have not been able to to a anything for a couple of days. John was working at my desk and I couldn't get in to do any crafting. Saturday was taken up by John "tidying" things up on my other one and backing everything to the external hard drive. Sunday morning was taken up setting up the new system and downloading all the updates required. I am not a computer geek and find all this very boring!
When my computer went down in December last year John bought me another one to replace it but just as a stop gap to give him time to "research" the situation and decide on the one he really wanted to get for me. Do all men spend a great deal of time on research do you think? (He was just the same when I needed a new mobile phone! All I wanted was one that I could talk and text etc, and as my dear friend Planet Susie said "it doesn't need to make toast" ... lol! I now have an all singing, all dancing phone that is totally OTT for me! Although I do appreciate the better camera..) But I digress! Turns out the computer I got in December was really great and I was very happy with it and so, even though I now have the new one, he is going to keep the other one and set it up as well. Now why do two people need three computers? I know we have three desks between us but even so .........
My Card
The picture is not good I'm afraid - mirri is so difficult.
My card is 6" x 6" and matted with silver mirri then another layer of white card which has been embossed with SB Dainty Dots. The corner dies are from Joycrafts. I used two stamps from JustRite Birthday Vintage Labels 4 which I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Detail Silver embossing powder. The oval sentiment sits inside the shaped flourish die so they were stamped at the same time and I then die cut it using JustRite Vintage Labels 4. Although it is actually a set of birthday stamps I decided with the silver and white it works perfectly for a wedding or engagement card.
Hope this finds you all well and enjoying life. Take care.
Hiya...cann't see the photo of the card...but did have a giggle about how men like to research purchases.
ReplyDeleteI am glad DH likes to do this cuz that is boring to me and makes my head explode! teehee I do research prices though...lol
Will opop back later to see the card once you read this!

ReplyDeleteMy John would not have a clue (you get what you want, it will be fine) would be his response.

A beautiful white on white card Christine, love those corner dies. I think most men like to research techie stuff, I'm like you though and just want them to do the basics of what I need and not have lots of complicated extras.

a beautiful white on white card Christine, love it..lol I'm the 'techie' in our house..Tom says he's fed up with computers after a day at work, has his work blackberry always close to hand (only cos he has to), but has no interest at all - whereas I will research! Hugs Carole Z X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Christine, love the white on white. Had to laugh at Patricia comment about me being better than
ReplyDeleteher at things, I don't think so. Charlie and Tammy are the researchers in our family. I just hate when Charlie decides to change the big computer or the printer, as I always prefer the old ones. It could be it takes me so long to work out how to use them? Hazel x
This is gorgeous,love the design and fab texture.xxx

Ok now I'm going mad. It's here now lol xxx
ReplyDeleteA really classy card.I like those corners you have used. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about your 3 computers for 2 people. We understand that very well at our house. We have 2 desktops and a laptop. And one of us is not very computer literate either, but he likes doing email (when he feels like it!) and surfing the net for things that interest him (and worry me about links he may click that can load malware!). But anyway...we all like our toys, and the research kept him busy and happy. Your card is so right for an anniversary (or indeed any special day). Love the white, and the dot embossing is really pretty with the lovely corner lace. Just a beautiful card. Enjoy your new toy! TFS & Hugs
