Oh, Blogger, you are trying my patience!!!

I am having no end of difficulties posting comments on other blogs and I am imagining given the lack of comments on my own blogs of late, so are others!

there does not seem to be a pattern to it

I got a new situation today - the blog I want to leave a comment on (QBSA) does not allow anonymous comments, however, I am an author of the blog and I am logged in - I am NOT anonymous! 

Others have said to log out, then when you log back in to untick the remember me box - I CANNOT LOG/SIGN OUT

I have been wading through 'something is broken' on blogger and there are numerous questions about people having difficulties leaving comments - for me it all started the same time they introduced the new interface - why introduce a new interface?  there was nothing wrong with the old one .....

why fix it when it aint broke?

If anyone one else is experiencing problems with leaving comments on my blog, please leave a comment, or email me.

Wordless Wednesday

Challenge #3 - UnstampaBelles - Animals

Challenge #3 for UnstampaBelles is up and running.

A quick recap of the rules:

No Stamps! This means no rubber stamps, no digital stamps, clipart or line art which includes pre-coloured versions. Inclusive of sentiment stamps.

Due to graphic technology any entry with a graphic image will be subject to the Design Teams' discretion and we will contact you if we feel the entry does not meet the ethos of our challenge blog.

A technique challenge will be included as a bonus.  This will not be a requirement for an entry but if you do use the nominated technique in your project, it will count as two entries for you.

The Theme this month is Animals and the Bonus Technique is Dry Embossing, if you include this technique, you will get a bonus entry.

I am sponsoring this month's challenge and the prize will be:

Two butterfly sticker sheets (1 silver, 1 gold), 1 pack dragonfly gems, 1 pack dragonfly emellishments, 3 embossed white butterflies, 10 sheets patterned vellum

This Challenge will close Friday, 30th September 2011.  A winner will be drawn at random and announced when Challenge #4 is posted (along with the team faves), on Monday, 3rd October 2011.

Now, onto my DT entry and further to my quest to make non-girly cards ;-)

Black base card, red background embossed using the Happy Birthday folder in the Cuttlebug, highlighted with peel-off stickers.

The gorgeous dog is a GSD file for the CraftROBO which was available from Risalenee HERE (unfortunately, the file is not available any more).  I have used a few of Lisa's files in the past and they are an absolute gem to cut and wish to thank her for her generosity.

For Madam Lunchalot - I think of you often

RIP Julie Lydiard - September 2009

EDITED:  GO the Power!  They won today Julie, I am sure it was just for you ;-)

Happy Father's Day, Dad

I finally got around to making my own Father's Day card for my Dad - nothing like leaving it till the last minute - oh, wait, that would be on Sunday morning ;-)

Stamps Used:  Taylored Expressions - Boys will be boys

Cardstock from Blue Edge Crafts

We are spending the afternoon with him tomorrow - apple pie and icecream - YUM!

EDITED:   You won't believe what I did - I left the card home when we went out on Sunday!!
