It's been a rather unproductive day for me. I spent 2+ hours on the phone with Dell tech support trying to get my desktop to boot up again (thankfully it was successful, although they ultimately blamed everything on static and Google Tool Bar).
Of course, they had to delete every cookie and password in the process, so I then spent a while hunting down passwords & logging into all of my different programs. Whatever they did stopped my photo card from automatically uploading into PhotoShop, so I still have to resolve that problem. Such fun.
So tonight, I wanted to at least spend a little time making cards. I chose the Everything But the Kitchen Sink Sketch and combined it with the colors from the Play Date Cafe.
The flowers in my DP were a bit whiter than my linen cardstock, so I sponged on some Alabaster Chalk ink. I added some warm red ink to my Inkadinkado Birds Galore image (but sort of wished I hadn't afterward).
My prize package from Love My Tapes arrived today ... and I can say, I love the double-sided adhesive tape roller ... very nice permanent adhesive.
Very pretty! Love that paper! Thanks for playing along with our challenge! :)

ooooooooooh i ♥LOVE♥ this...and i especially love the little red highlighted bit on the bird, which immediately (& cleverly) draws the eye to the center of the card & the sentiment!
(BUMMER re the comp, but at least it's resolved! ...i still need to finish de-bugging the laptop, i just became too depressed to cope...)
