Morning, I'm up over at Uniko with this card using Fun Flower Spray stencil and mask combined with Big n Bold happy stamp and die.
We had a bit of a disaster at home over the May Day Bank Holiday, our newly installed fibre optic broadband stuttered and finally failed. According to BT we had a signal to the unit but we needed a technician to visit, they should have it fixed by May 5th!!! Panic ensued as I thought about all my DT posts in the pipeline, a new month is a busy time for me and then, what do I do with all the free time?
So on Sunday, after doing as much housework as I wanted to do on a BH, I went to my room to have a play and ended up with this card.
Pop over to the Uniko blog for all the details.
Anyway as you can tell from this post, the man from Open Reach came, removed DUST from the optical connection, drank a cuppa and left, 30 mins max! Full high speed broadband resumed but the new phones are still pants! Apparently our hub is too far away from the phones for them to work on the WiFi, our old phone line was cut when they installed the fibre cable, not that they were great when it rained, damp in the line apparently. It certainly showed us how reliant we are on the internet these days, even watching TV was curtailed, no Prime or Netflix or iPlayer for us until service was resumed. When I turned on my computer, my inbox was full of rubbish that had accumulated whilst we were offline, stuff I usually delete when I turn it on in a morning!
So have a good rest of the Bank Holiday and get crafting!

What a beauty this is Julie, such great colours and the design is fantastic. Sounds like you have had a nightmare with the tech, fingers crossed it behaves now!
ReplyDeleteI had a similar thing happen here ~ horrors! It wasn't all that long, just long enough for me to realize how adrift I was without cable! I do worry about how reliant we all are, all the way to the upper levels of government, but never mind. Back I go, my head in the sand and my fingers crossed for all the world not to come to a screeching halt due to DUST! I love the card you made to take your mind off such worries! It is bright and cheerful and full of hope and springtime! Hugs, Darnell

I hope everything is solved now, Julie. It's hard to image how to live without internet nowadays, and don't talk about the new generations ! We have at least this hobby we can practice without internet. And this gorgeous card is the proof of it. I know this stencil and I can tell how much work it is (lot of masking) to colour these beauties in different colours. Love the beautiful design you've made too. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing at ATSM.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and cheery card to celebrate a birthday with and I love those gorgeous flowers and how you have arranged them around the sentiment. Glad your internet problems were short lived.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well and thanks for sharing with us at ATSM, Jules.
