Happy New Years! :)

I've made a fun SBS X-mas Bookmark today! Almost didn't make it at all as my printer settings had gone weird, and somehow green, even if I said print black? So the digi didn't stick to the paper as it should, and I had to print again ~ but NO more ink *lol* Got there in the end though, with a half hour to spare before new years and deadlines.. Yes, sitting with ink on my fingers tonight, the only difference from any other night in my scraproom is that I have a drink beside me, Mojito :) Happy New Years!!!

Prove you're not a robot?... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just a little heads up! I just discovered I had gotten a reCAPTCHA  'prove you're not a robot' thingy in my comments form on my blog! It wants a Word Verification now! How annoying!!! Fiddled first with the settings - nope - even with allowing all to comment it was STILL there.. 

Searched for a solution and here it is: if you go to your settings and let the comment form be embedded (not pop up on a seperate little page if u had that) it works for some of us but not all blogspot users it seems! Worked for this blog :) Here is how to.
And blogger people ARE working to fix this recent issue... A quote from one of the forumposts there:
The unwanted CAPTCHA is the result of a coding / design mistake, that Blogger made earlier this week.  They are working on improving it.

The Real Blogger Status ›Confusion From Comments And The CAPTCHA Blogger Help Forum ›Getting Rid of reCAPTCHA ??  

I absolutely prefer the popup comment form as you can see the card while commenting. But until then alot of people aren't getting comments from DT's and friends on their blogposts and cards (most challengerules says to turn off verification) and many aren't aware they got a robot-thingy on their blog.. And as it is there because of a blogspot-bug not the blogger him/herself, please take the time and do the captcha verification when u comment, even if it's annoying, hopefully they will fix it soon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Update 12/12 14:00):  The CAPTCHA for moderated blogs should now behave as normal.  Non moderated blogs are still pending.

TangledBlueRose also has a good soloution which will work for some of us! Thanks :)  

If you are on Blogger and posting a comment on another Blogger, just do not enter the 'proof'. It lets you skip it and post the comment if you are Blogger to Blogger. Anything is worth a try :)

Baby Robin Christmas Card

Ukens utfordring hos Creative Fingers #60. er sponset av Beccy's Place! Jeg valgte denne lille fuglen for mitt DT-kort ♥ Ikke en fugl vi ser her til lands (?) men den ligner på dompappen, så jeg skal lage nok et kort med sort/grå/røde farger :) Som alltid er det 'Lag-hva-du-vil' hos CF ~ og designteamet har laget julekort denne gangen ~ som passet veldig bra, siden jeg har hundreogørti stykker å lage.. hehe, alltid i siste liten! ;)

I  love this cute little baby Robin! Don't think we have this bird in Norway, but it is supercute, and the form looks very similar to our 'Dompap' just in black, grey and red, a finch-bird I believe.. So I'll try and color it up like one for another card soon! :)
Beccy's Place is the sponsor this week, and I've made a christmas themed card for my DT project at Creative Fingers Challenge #60. We always have 'Anything Goes', and lots of fun prizes :) You are most welcome to join us ♥
