Happy Easter

In the Kitchen

I usually go from one extreme or another either very bright, or all pastels.  Thought this image from Bugaboo should be in bright colors.  These images are so much fun - hope the recipient enjoys it as much as I do.
 Again, it is going to one of my golfing friends for her birthday - soon we will be out on the links.  The DP is from DCWV a pad called Nana's Kids.  The image is colored with copics.  The picture looks crooked because I put a piece of red cardstock behind it when I took the photo. There really is just a l/4" red border all around the edge.

I have been fighting with my computer for the last few days, first my browser (Firefox)  told me to upgrade to their latest program. Every time I went out of my browser, I had to reboot my computer to get back in.  I had to make a few changes to even see my blog. (What a waste of time!)  I like to use google and couldn't get it, and quite a few other minor problems. I finally got most of that cleared up.  Then last night during the night Windows decided to upgrade my Vista - the result was that when I went on the computer it was like a brand new computer, nothing on it, no pictures, no mail, no documents, nothing.  Thank goodness for the restore program, I was able to restore everything to the time of day before the upgrade was made.

Maybe my computer is trying to tell me I should get rid of some excess I have on this computer and make a back-up disk.

Rainy Days

Ever since I got this image from Nana Vic I wanted to use it with this designer paper, but didn't quite know how.  This weeks Midnight Madness sketch challenge is for the front of the card to be divided into two parts.
I chose to do the simple design as there wasn't room for too many embellishments on my card.  The top of the card is DP from Jillibean - Egg Drop Soup.  The large green umberella is in two layers and I have popped up the second one and also an additional pop up in the centre. These don't show in this picture it still looks like one layer.   The lower portion of the card is this sweet digital image from Nana Vic.  I have colored it with copics.

Was going to post this card this morning before we went out for the day, but wouldn't you know it my camera's batteries gave out after I had taken the photo, but before I had uploaded it to my computer.

I thought that we were to have some warmer weather, but did see lots of snowflakes on our drive home from Niagara Falls tonight.  Don't think it should amount to too much though.
