Basic grey favourite things and a warning!!

Aaaaarrrrgghhhhh!!!!!! 
Photobucket changed again!! and now it doesn't allow you to "add" an image to an image so no watermarks!!! So ok I think, I will try a few other editing programs!!!!!!!! must confess I tried a few so not entirely sure of the culprit, but the sh*t storm started after downloading Gimp!!! in fact I am almost certain it was Gimp, because I noticed it downloaded some "extras" whilst downloading!! well I have spent the entire day today removing programs and running full system scans and only now is my laptop working properly!! I guess Photobucket will have to suffice!!! The annoying thing is that my laptop came pre-loaded with adobe photoshop and I can't come to grips with it!! My nephew laughed at me when I complained and said that a friend of his was doing her degree on "photoshop" well if you need a degree to work it I am doooomed!!!! Rant over!! just be careful out there!! :)
Going back to my previous rant.... you know the one about the price of going to the Cinema!! When was the last time anyone went to watch a movie and there were more than about 10 peeps there?? they still have to pay staff and heat and clean the premises, I was gratified by how many of you lovely peeps agreed with me lower prices would mean more bums on seats and more snacks bought...... more money!! simples!!!!
So the reason I have returned to the cinema is that yesterday I went to see "Warm Bodies" (about 5 other people apart from the 3 of us!! and its half term here!!) anyhoo AMAZING!!!!!! what a fabby film!!! the overall message could be seen as a bit corny, but wow I laughed, cried and totally fell in love with a brain eating Zombie!!!!! One of the best films I have seen in a long time!!
Wow I have waffled on today!!!! on to the best bit!! It is time for another brilliant new challenge over at Basic grey challenges this fortnight is easy peasy!!
  Favourite things! 
Well of course my favourites are Basicgrey papers, I have used cappella, and Magnolia stamps, I love this "Tilda with Ugg shoes" she if defo one of my all time favourites! Add to that some butterflies and lace and I am a happy camper!!

Well I'm off to have a lay down in a dark room after all that ranting!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Hugs and kisses
Jacqui xx

  3. This is gorgeous Jacqui. Love the beautifully coloured image and the butterfly's are lovely.

    If you are having trouble with Photobucket, an alternative is Photoscape. It is a free downloadable programme and I use it all the time.
    Hope this helps.
    Hugs Sharon. x

  8. Hi Jacqui - this is gorgeous ! Great colour combo and I love that butterfly border and all you gorgeous frames and die cuts!! I know what you mean about the cinema but I hate lots of people there rustling sweet papers and crunching popcorn!!

  10. Love your very pretty card Jacqui. I love the butterfly border and all your other pretty, lacy details.

    I used to use Picassa when I had Windows and that was great and free too. I got on with it really well and miss it.
