***Please note that after switching from several different hosts before settling on Blogger, the formatting of my pictures may not be as it was originally intended. I simply don't have the time to go back through years of posts in order to fix the orientation of the pictures. Sometimes a picture just shows a box of text in its place, but clicking on it will allow you to see the picture. Others, there may be no picture at all. I apologize.***

Test Card Upload

DSCN4667test 


Sorry about the poor quality of this picture. I will explain...This card is part of a gift set that I will be featuring over the next couple of days.  I may have found the solution to the problem of picture uploading, at least temporarily.  This card was my first test at saving my pictures a second time "for web".  It did upload, but the quality is poor and it inserts itself HUGE into the post and I have to try to keep the ratio correct as I downsize it.  This is obnoxious and it's going to DOUBLE the amount of picture files I have on my computer if I have to do it this way.  If this is the only answer and Typepad can't figure out why things have changed since the upgrade, I WILL be leaving Typepad.  I have a hard enough time getting pictures off of my computer and freeing up space as it is - much less having to save it once regularly after editing and then again "for web" - 2 versions of every picture is just too much!!! 


Anyway, hopefully you enjoy this card.  I vaguely remember seeing something with similar lines at Convention, so know that my inspiration came from something I saw, but I didn't get a pic of that card so this is what my memory inspired me to create.  The cards in the gift set are very similar as you will see in the coming days.  I made it as an item for the Officer's Spouses Club "Make It, Bake It, Grow It" fund-raiser.  I hope that whoever got the set enjoys it!


Stamps: Upsy Daisy, Pocket Silhouettes, Fresh Cuts

  1. Marie, Your card is beautiful and you have just convinced me I must have this set!
    Please 'take two' deep breathes and reconsider blogging in the future. You would be missed. I swear computers have minds of their own and can certainly drive you crazy. Hang in there.
