Technology Woes

Oh i could just rip every hair out of my head, i finally thought i had solved my camera porblems.  On Friday i had to take my camera back to the store where i bought it and spent 5 hours no less verbally cussing and phoning head office and talking to the heirarchy of the store and finally got a new camera for my efforts.  How has that hepled me?  not one bit, i now have a new camera that i have to sit and read the manual to opperate, so i think i have grasped the operation of this new one, yeah RIGHT! now when i try to load any of my pics to the dt blogs, it wont load.  So i am posting this card on my own blog that was intended for a dt submission, however it looks like i will have to come up with something new for that now.
This is one of the new spring kit stamps that i recieved on Thursday in the mail, is she not the most adorable little princess?  Lots of glittah which we all LOVE, some cherry blossoms, a few pearls and a ribbon for the girly feel.  I am gonna inter this into the Just Magnolia challenge since i used their sketch.

  2. Hi sweetie, so sorry that you have to have such problems.. :o(

    I myself just bought a new camera and have been reading the manual for 2 days so that I will know how to make it work. Then I am sure it will be a PITA to get it on the computer. Because I am a creature of habit and it will be something new. Did I tell you that I really don't like change!!! uhggggggggggg
    anywhooooo I LOVE your card sweetie and I wish for a better tomorrow for you.
    big hugs, Janiel

  4. Hi Paola...I love this image!! I can't wait for mine to arrive!! You've done a gorgeous job coloring her...love the colors and shading. I can related to your photography woes...I have the same issues! But I'm sure my issues have more to do with operator malfunction rather than machine malfunction! Hang in there! Beautiful, beautiful card! Pat Frank (VA)

  26. Paola, this is absolutely gorgeous. Oooh, Tilda is too adorable. Can't wait 'til I get mine. Love the colour combo and your fabulous colouring work. Nice touch with the glitters.
    I adore your card.

    So sorry to hear about the problems with your new camera. Hope you get it resolved soon.

    Re my stone opening/window on my card that you asked about, I found this grey-streaked scrapbook paper that looks like cement or concrete to me. I cut out brick shapes and distress the edges of each brick. Yikes, that took forever to do. I had already glued the circle with the background scene on a much larger circle. I then glued the bricks to surround the inner cicle. Hope that explains it.

    Hugs.
