What a week my friends, what a week. My main desktop computer stopped connecting to the Wifi, so we took it for a diagnosis, and the outcome was to buy a new desktop computer. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?

Well – then the new desktop wouldn’t connect to the internet, and all of my files weren’t downloaded – they forgot about my log-in and just did hubby’s……..!

It’s taken several days, but we – I mean hubby – seems to have fixed the problem. Now to get all of my files from the 15 years old previous computer – who knew we kept so much stuff….? That is a work in progress – but at least I have a desktop computer now, connected to the internet, and I can start to use it.

I have created this card for the current challenge at CAS on Sunday and the current challenge at AAA Cards:

This is a one layer card – the card base only. I have just attended the Crop and Create weekend virtual event – watching rather than crafting – and this was created using products from Brutus Monroe.

The first thing I did was to use an embedder from Clarity Crafts. I have had them for a while, but couldn’t seem to figure out how to use them without creating a bit of a mess. I then watched one of my DT buddies (Deborah Wheeler) show how to use them on a recent crafty hour on Create and Craft TV – and decided to have another go. I am pleased how this turned out.

The rounded rectangle frame was stuck to the rear of the front of the card base, then a bone folder used to ‘find’ the edge of the embedder on the front, then a small ball tool to further crisp the edges.

I then used the leaf rub-on and the sentiment received as part of the virtual event.

Hopefully our internet and computer stay stable and working. xx
