In the process I realised that, whilst I always back up holiday photos, I hadn't been doing the everyday stuff, ie the stuff I scrapbook! All my scrapbooking photos were separate. More time taken to rig up the dead hard drive in what I am told is called an 'enclosure' and pull off photos, music, paid-for downloads etc ....... this has taken nearly a week. Then to install Picasa and other software again, it has been a nightmare. All photos are now backed up, more time taken ....
Finally, I can get back to blogging! I have managed to make a few things whilst I have been computer-less LOL. First up is BtCR for November.
I used a freebie magazine die from Cardmaking and Papercraft, which they annoying call a die cutting stencil. It's not a stencil, it's a mask. Grr.
I cut it in silver mirri, matted onto a Diamond Bling square, embossed the Sparkle Bling background square with snowflakes and made a mirri mat for that also. The sentiment is done using SU punches and a peel-off - Krafty Karen had done some cards incorporating the punched shape into the frame and I really liked the idea :-)
I need to do a count up now, to see if I have enough cards yet. BtCR has really helped, so I will be doing the same next year!
