GDT Card For Prairie Fairy - Gillian's At The Beach

Hello peeps,
I've had a busy day today, I started off by fighting with blogger this morning! I kept getting a blank page when I went on some blogs, others I could see & could comment on, but the blogs with pop up comments I was just getting a blank page again grrrrrr. I was up nice & early thinking I'd get some blogging done but didn't manage to leave many comments :( Blogger help has lots of people reporting this problem & I did too & was just about to give up & had a brain wave of trying deleting my browsing history & cookies to see if that worked & it did :) all good to go again, so if you are suffering blogger problems give that a try & if you aren't sure how here's quick instructions -
Go to CONTROL PANEL - NETWORK & INTERNET -DELETE BROWSING HISTORY & COOKIES - DELETE - OK. Fingers crossed that should do it :)

Today I have a card to share as I am this fortnights Guest Designer at
and this fortnight the challenge is

I almost went with the "dreaming" part of the song but changed my mind thinking California = sunshine, warmth, beaches, sigh that sounds lovely as it's flipping freezing here lol.

Ingredients -
Medium - Copics
Sentiments - Cats Life Press
Flowers - Wild Orchid & Magnolia
Tools - MS deco fan shells PATP, MS Frond leaf punch, Marianne Creatables decorative elegance, Cheery Lynn butterfly die

Hi Mandy,

How much fun is this lovely card with super cute image Mandy, I LOVE it!!!!
I had the same problems as you describe with the pc and switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox and that worked fine. Other bloggers wrote they changed to Google Chrome and that went well too....so we luckily have several options.
Have a lovely weekend, Irene

EELS said...

Another lovely card Mandy.
Also, interesting about the probs you had with Blogger, I am still having them. I took your advice and cleared my cookies etc but that didn't make any difference then I discovered I couldn't even comment here on your blog. I just switched over to Firefox and fired up again and here I am. Next I'm going to see if I'm able to access my blog page comments which I haven't been able to do since Thurs 12th.
Bugger!
Cheers,
Elaine
