Hi Crafters,
Thanks for all your kind words both here and on Facebook regarding my computer issues recently. It meant getting a new PC in the end which should arrive soon, then the fun begins getting used to a new system and loading all my files that I managed to retrieve. Wish me luck :/

Hi Lorraine,
ReplyDeletewhat a super card and a fab image too.
Great design as well.
Good luck with your new computer, as I was tearing my hair out when I changed from a Mac pc to windows.
Still I am quite happy with the windows 7 now.
I know it's an older system, but my computer is older too as the newer 64 bit ones won't run my craft CDs.
So when it stops completely I will just have to abandon them all together.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Oh I love this fabulous festive card Lorraine that image is ACE so are the lovely paper and card design

I just love the cute image and fabulous colouring-good luck with the new computer

Love the different graphic shapes that make up this cute design, and the lovely holly pattern of the dp. The focal image is just so cute, these worn-out kitties have just had too much fun opening all these prezzies. Also liked the texture of the holly & sentiment very much. TFS & Hugs (good luck with the new pc....always fun to move files from old to new & see what is there. I always manage to lose something).
ReplyDeleteHee hee those kitties are too cute. So sorry about the computer. Mine is still hiccuping pretty bad so I'm going to be in the same boat with you soon. Your die cut sentiment is awesome! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your card with Crafty Friends 'Use Something New' Challenge... your card is lovely... happy new year and good luck in the challenge, Diane Louise (DT) xx
