Glittery Christmas trees!

 

Jeg har SÅ mange kreasjoner jeg har tatt bilder av men ikke blogget enda, som dette julekortet med et kjempeflott bakgrunn stempel fra Hero Arts ♥ 
Mon tro om jeg er alene om dette? 😉
Det blir jo oftest til at jeg blogger de kortene som jeg har tidspress på å få ut ~ som kreativ designer på to utfordringsblogger og tre innleveringer i mnd. Men tingene jeg lager innimellom, de tar jeg bare bilder av og så ligger de bare uredigert i en folder på laptopen.. 

💻 Det tror jeg blir et nyttårsforsett, å rydde opp i filene mine ~ og for all del, huske å ta sikkerhetskopier av alt! Nylig fikk jeg nok en 'blåskjerm' der datamaskinen låste seg, og hadde store problemer med å få pc'n til å virke igjen.. Den 'henger' seg oppe fremdeles av og til, men jeg vet ikke hvorfor! Dumme Microsoft 10! 😜

I have SO many creations that I have photos of but not blogged yet, like this christmas card with such a fabulous background stamp by Hero Arts ♥ 
I wonder if I'm alone in doing this? 😉
I find that I mostly blog the cards that has deadlines ~ as a creative design team member on two challengeblogs there are three I make each month. But the things I create in the meantime, I only photograph and upload to my laptop, and they stay there more often than not, un-edited in their folders...

I think this will be a newyears resolution for me. To clean up my files ~ and to remember to more often do backups of everything on my laptop! Recently I got yet another 'bluescreen' where my pc locked itself and I had major problems getting it to function again.. Well, it still has a few hangups now and then where I have to force it to shutdown, but when I turn it on again it works fine and the error cannot be found, so I just have to make sure that when the day comes that it really dies on me, I have great backups! Stupid microsoft 10 😜
