I've also been grappling with technology - still an uphill struggle for me, but I just want to be able to watermark my stuff without any fuss. I want it to be easy peasy. And it's not. So, I have watermarked my creation today, but I haven't been able to re-size or edit my pictures apart from the watermark which I applied using Picasa.
Fed up with it as it took me ages to figure out, and I can only do it on hubby's computer so he's fed up with me as he wants to watch something on his playback or something grrrrr.
Anyway, I got some lovely new images from Mo Manning this morning, and I just had to colour one of them in. She is called Peaches and is just gorgeous. I hunted about for my craft stuff which is all in several nooks and crannies and made this:
See that watermark?? I worked hard on that lol! I have coloured her in for the challenge over at Mo's Challenge Blog, which is to use Turquoise. One of my favourite colours.
I teamed her with some Wild Rose Studios papers, and some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I have also layere some turquoise lace under the doily, which was a gift from my friend Sue.
This is the reason for my blogging absence:
New kitchen, a work in progress...
New conservatory off the dining room, this is where I normally craft!
And this is where I made my card today! Yes, that is a glass of wine!!
Well, that's all from me this evening, I don't want to push my luck LOL!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline
