Bibi's Harmony 🎵

Har hatt masse datatrøbbel siste ukene, blåskjerm og 'sakte-kino' på alle funksjoner ... hadde pc som var kjappere på 90tallet 😆 Laptop skjermen har ødelagte pixel ca.1x1cm på midten nå (selvfølgelig måtte det være på midten!), så det blir snart ny laptop - noe jeg egentlig har sagt nå i et over år... Men nå har jeg ikkenoe valg 😂
Den jeg hadde tenkt å kjøpe for et år siden var ikke mulig å kjøpe plutselig, og nå har det kommet en ny versjon - men uten tibehøret, som orginal pennen!.. Vil nemlig ha en 2-i-1 laptop der jeg kan tegne på skjermen også. Problemet er at jeg ikke klarer å bestemme meg for en annen type laptop - det er så mye å velge mellom 🤔

Gratulasjonskortet er mitt inspirasjons bidrag for Creative Fingers utfordring #276. Vår DT Angelique er sponsor denne gang med en flott premie, og som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema. Velkommen skal du være! 💗 

 

Congratulations on the day

I have had such trouble with my laptop the past weeks .. bluescreening and slowmotion on all functions ... i swear my pc back in the 90s were faster! Now my laptop has a ruined pixel about 1x1cm. in THE MIDDLE of the screen! Like .. ofcourse it had to be the middle 😆
So now i need to put some speed into gettin a new laptop, wich i been procrastinating for over a year, as the 2-in-1 that i had my heart set on suddenly became unavailable. I had high hopes for the return of it, but it finally came, and with no accessories - like the original brand pen! And no way of gettin it? like WUT?! My biggest problem aint the money, that i already have saved up over the past couple years, but that i cannot make a choice of wich one to get now ... there are so many to choose from! 🤔

Gotta be a nice 2-in-1, touch / drawing screen like a ipad, but at the same time with power of a good gaming laptop and at least about 16 inches, preferrably silent (good fans) and 1TB or more storage. Pen included or available to buy alongside. Flexible on the rest lol 😂 Any suggestions?

My card is DT inspiration for this fortnights challenge #276. at Creative Fingers. Our DT Angelique is sponsoring with a fab stamp & die set! And as always it is an 'Anything goes theme', and you are more than welcome to join with your creations 💗

Happy Holiday wishes from Creative Fingers! ❤️🎅🏻❤️

 

❤️  God Jul & Godt NyttÅr ❤️

 

Vi på DesignTeamet hos Creative Fingers ønsker alle en koselig julefeiring med noen av våre julekort til inspirasjon ⭐ Vi har også en kjempeflott BloggCandy som du kan finne > her < Og i denne bloggposten hos Creative Fingers takker vi alle våre flotte sponsorer gjennom 2023 ~ meg selv inkludert! Og ikke glem å delta på vår utfordring #268. som varer helt frem til 12. januar!

 

Har brukt et eldre digistempel fra Saturated Canary på julekortet mitt. Har mere enn hundre digis og gummistempler fra SC ~ Krista Leigh Smith, som man nå kan finne på Patreon. Men flere av scrappebutikkene har enda mange av gummistemplene i salg om man leter litt!
Prøver enda å bli flinkere til å bruke det jeg har hatt liggende ubrukt i årevis ~ istedenfor å gripe etter det aller siste jeg har kjøpt.. hehe, tror vi alle er litt skyldig der...

 

 

❤️ Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! ❤️

 

Today the DT's of Creative Fingers Challenge blog is wishing everyone Happy Holidays and sharing some christmascards to delight & inspire! ⭐
Did you see our fabulous Xmas BlogCandy and our Thanks sponsors blogposts over at Creative Fingers?

My card has an adorable digistamp from Saturated Canary ❤️ I have aLOT of SC stamps both in digital and rubberstamps from years ago, before Krista Leigh Smith, the artist, moved on to Patreon. You can however find her rubberstamps still in stock in some stores if you go looking!
I am still trying to be better at using my old stash before only using the new fresh from the store stuff! I think we're all guilty of that lol 😉
