What a week. My mind has been far away from crafting. Not a good thing. I need my “me time”! You see, DH has decided to become computer savy. So out of the kindness of my heart, I gave him my laptop. Well that just means I now needed a new lap top for me. hehe So I set out on the search for an “up-grade” from the old one, which means that my brain had to do some actual thinking and not creating. I really don’t know that much about computers, but I do know that I wanted a lighter one that is faster with lots of memory. I did purchase one then had to do all the setting up, which my DS used to do for me, but since he lives elsewhere I had to go at it alone. I finished it last night and it seems to be working fine. I am back to the crafting table once again……..life is good. :0)………my card…..
To catch up a little, this card is for “four” challenges:
MMTPT119 since I had some left over daisies.
F4A38-Silhouettes, had a new stamp I needed to use.
IC258-Company C
QFTD35-irishgreensue is the new queen, didnÂ’t want to miss this one. Congrat Sue!!!
For the IC challenge, I chose this rug, mainly because I remembered taking a picture of a rug we have and it looked similar. So I used it.
For the QFTD35 challenge, I chose this card to loosely cas. hehe
This is already too long so I won’t go into details of the “what I did” cuz I really didn’t do anything extra special.
Well, now I must clean the house soÂ’s I can get back to creating! Â…..again, heheÂ…Â…Have a great weekend! Â…Â…TFL :0)

Are you sure you didn't have gas! I don't see an octagon or clouds or hearts, just what I think is a photo of a gorgeous rug, and a lovely silhouette . Oh - and a daisy, mustn't forget that!
Hope your crown stays fixed good! I remember my dentist putting mine in with temporary cement just in case I turned out to need a root canal after all. When I went back after a month for a check-up, his assistant wanted to use some fancy new tool to pull it off again. No thanks - that temporary cement stayed put for another three years .

Wow! Your background looks just like a rug...just as you meant for it to do. Very pretty silhouette and good job on all the challenges. Glad you got that new puter going. That is always a pain and time consumer.

Wow that background really makes your image pop!! I hope you enjoy your new computer. And to come back to your craft table and hit so many images in one card is a Wow to me. I am sure that Queen Sue will enjoy your card as she reigns QFTD.
