Hi All, sorry I have been MIA again, I had a little knee surgery and I have been trying the new Feedly, not a good combination, they both have made it a little harder to get around ha ha!! The experts say Feedly should be the closest to Google's Reader (which we will all lose in July), but I find it does operate quite a bit differently. I am still trying to find my way around in it. Unlike Reader when you have read something it does not always disappear, sometimes it stays there a few days and if you have any sort of memory problems it may take you a bit to realize you read that already, ha ha! It does import from Reader very easily! But I still have problems remembering where to click on to go to the blog to comment, sometimes it takes me 3 clicks. I think I may try Bloglovin, quite a few bloggers have suggested that. I would love to know what you are trying too.
Well, I wanted to share these cards I made with Gecko Galz Beautiful Colors Paper Collection 2011, the cards aren't too detailed but I think the paper is so gorgeous it sorta speaks for itself! You all know how much I love papers (especially these)! I did fussy cut 3 of the flowers and mounted them on top with some dimensional foam. My son did the photography for me.
I also wanted to share my win on Pinterest, Gecko Galz has a Pin it to Win it contest monthly, I won a gorgeous set of digital stamps called Rose Garden for the month of March. The April contest is for another beautiful set called "Belissima", a really beautiful set too! I am going to make it easy for you, I am including the link to my Pinterest Pin so you can Repin it, really it doesn't get any easier than this!
I may be MIA a few weeks longer so please forgive me if I don't catch up on the blog posts I have missed, I just purchased a KNK Zing with the MTC software and I am very excited to learn how to use it! I will be sharing more on that in the future.
Well that's it, thanks for looking. ~Diane

Oh forgot to say I have both bloglovin and networked blogs on my blog and I use both to follow people. I was never much on google reader so doesn't bother me that it's going away. I like both of these options but bloglovin doesn't let you see who's signed on.

Hi Diane, this is such a lovely card and matching envelope just makes me giddy with excitement looking at it! Love the colors. I hope your knee gets better. My cousin and brother both have had those surgeries and from them, it doesn't seem a quick healing process, so take care! ;-)

The paper is incredible I must admit. You do such fantastic things with it. Hope your knee is healing - I'm having a replacement in Sept. So you have my sympathy an hope you heal quickly. This knew technology has me baffled half the time - there seems to be so many changes lately. We will learn. ha ha. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteDiane, stunning, those poppies just pop, hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ensemble Diane! Love all the pretty poppies!
ReplyDeleteHope your surgery is coming along well! I never used Google Reader, so don't miss it! So much I still need to learn about blogging!!! Your card is beautiful and I love the red, black and white colors! Have a great weekend! Hugs!

So pretty Diane! Love the beautiful poppies!
ReplyDeleteDiane I only noticed now that you had a knee op. Hope the recovery is not too painful and may you be back to your old self soon. I have always used blogger's dashboard to follow my bloggy friends so I am not changing over to anything as yet, I might regret it later lol.
ReplyDeleteHugs Desíre {Doing Life}
Good Morning sweetie, this is just simply stunning, huggles Pops x x x
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI've switched to blog lovin and really like it. Like Feedly it's easy to import the list of blog into. I think that it's very user friendly.
Love the card - very Asian vibe!
Leann
Ohhh, sooo pretty, Diane, and your paper does speak beautifully for itself!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, knee surgery & a new KNK -- YAY for you -- now you can 'sit' and learn to use that sweet new machine!
My hubby's had several knee surgeries including both full replacements, so I know it's NOT fun, but hope you heal quickly and do ALL the required PT, as it's most important on a knee!
Been terribly busy, but thinking of you -- TTYL!!!
What wonderful graphic punch
ReplyDelete, this is my cup of tea! Hope you have been well.
I agree! The paper says it all and doesn't need a lot of embellishment. I so enJOY watching your creative talent. So amazing!
