I refused to have it upgraded onto my main laptop which is still running on windows 7. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Life is throwing me enough curved balls at the minute. Todays ball was the new front door installation.<br />Right colour, right glass, right door design but wrong finish. Turns out there are two doors with the same name but different texture finish but the catalogue only shows one finish (the one I want) and no mention at all of the alternative finish which the company took it upon themselves to make the door in and send it to the installers to fit . They (the installers) were not given the option of which door to have when they placed the order so the company now have to make a second door and foot the bill for the first one. I'm not best pleased at the mintute.<br />Hugs Mrs A. <br />Mrs A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14938668067423094462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-77396219514730659042018-06-21T18:54:15.193-04:002018-06-21T18:54:15.193-04:00Fabulous twofer cards, I've been wanting to tr...Fabulous twofer cards, I've been wanting to try the black ice, yours turned out quite well, makes a good masculine card, I like pastel greens and blues on your other card!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904121520936924829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-5538102926744132312018-06-21T15:47:15.268-04:002018-06-21T15:47:15.268-04:00You picked a great stamp from your collection for ...You picked a great stamp from your collection for this challenge!

Love the darkness and masculine look of the black ice. Honestly, I have watched youtube videos with this technique, but have not seen a card as beautiful as yours. Amazing!<br /><br />And I love the contrast of your second card with the soft sponged colours and white embossed trees. The splattered snow is so pretty and actually looks shimmery. Gorgeous design AGAIN!

I love the sunny day in your tree scene. I love trees, nice shade from them and love to see the breezes coming through the trees. Well done on this challenge Momma Mary. I hope you were able to get things you wanted off the old computer. I know you will have the new one organized in time. I guess I don't do that much, so I'm ok with Win 10. lol But there was a learning curve involved.
