A lame entry for the tea-party this week. I'd have liked to pop my *computer* panel up, but we were asked to keep cards flat if we were going to post them to Kyler, so I followed the rules .
First - trawl through my computer trying to find these images which I've had for over ten years - that's 3 or 4 computers ago. Success...then while sizing them I overwrite the original, lose half the images and have to find my back-up. Success again - thank goodness I am just slightly on the geek scale when it comes to computers.
Base is 5 3/4" square cream card. Screen is 5" square, scored and sponged around the edges to get some dimension because I wasn't popping it up. Images sponged and stuck in. Buttons punched from cream card and added. HA sentiment stamped on the card base, and more sort of push-button faux brads added with 3 sizes of circle punch layered up - 3/16, 1/8 and 1/16.
The file of images is rather fun, so I thought once I'd got my card made I'd send it out to the TPT mailing list. They're a bit more guy-oriented than Cindy's list, which really made me laugh.
Sorry there's no story, I am still not feeling the best. And as for cookies - whose computer isn't already littered with them D:, but I am bringing along a *blackberry* and apple tart - with the last blackberries from the end of the garden.

Well my dear, there has to be an A+ for effort there. Sabrina, all these adventures while making a card makes it the more special. I love the images and the fun sentiment and buttons. It was challenging to keep it flat and for a guy, but worth it. TFS
Now, you rest up there and have that dear husband of yours spoil you okay. Hugsxo
