Something different....

Well we finally sorted out my computer problem and guess what it was the BATTERY in my PC had gone...PC World were all for stripping my PC down and it was my hubby who said could it be the battery they changed it and hey presto..cost us all of £4.  The battery caused the time and date to be all over the place, it affected my emails (as thats date related) and also my blog..so worth knowing.  In all the years we have had computers its the first time this has happened and my Computer is only 9 MONTHS OLD.....

Back to my card...as I've been busy making samples for club night tomorrow and also doing other things I haven't had time to blog but I found this card a few days ago that I made possibly 5 or 6 years ago....the pattern I think was a freebee from a Parchment exhibition I went to. The image has been drawn and coloured using inks before being embossed from the back. Dorso crayons were used to create the coloured background and of course pricking, cutting and embossing a pattern around the edge.  I haven't done parchment for a very long time now as I much prefer stamping its quicker!

The school holidays are almost here that means we shall be having the grandchildren to stay also other visitors so my blogging with but when I have time....

Its out club night tomorrow so will post some pictures of what we are going to be making later in the week.

Hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather..

Parchment.......

At long last I've had time to finish off one of my Parchment projects that I did at a week-end workshop with Christine Coleman and Alison Yeates down in Paignton.... I went on the course with 3 other friends, Karen, Janet and Jill...we had lots of laughs along the way especially about my room which really was no bigger that a cupboard/closet!!
This was the first time I had ever done a workshop or had attempted any sort of grid work and although it took a lot of concentration I really enjoyed doing it. All I need to be do now is to find a nice frame.
