"Less is More" Challenge #274 - Lucky Dip

This week at "Less is More" we have a fab theme of using patterned paper in a clean and simple style.  I apologise for only having one card to show you, with a not very good photo.  There is a reason...

My laptop took it into its head to install, unwanted, Windows 10.  That was annoying.  But then I discovered the Start button did not work and that this is a common problem.  There are fixes online, however none worked as it seemed not to have brought all the files across with it.  Eventually, with remote IT support (son at Uni) I have resolved it tonight and promptly reverted to Seven.  It has not been a happy experience and if I ever meet the person who thought it a good idea to put it on computers without first being invited I have a few harsh words for them!

So my card is pretty straightforward after all that computer angst...  A Memory Box DP from a Christmas pad some years back, with a SU diecut panel in front.  The flowers are also SU diecuts and the sentiment is stamped in Mint Macaron.

  2. I love card, Anne. The die cut border is so pretty. What a nightmare with your laptop. I've heard lots of horror stories about Windows 10 and that it can take 24 hours to install and then your existing PC might not even be compatible to run it! I keep getting pop ups about it and very carefully make sure I decline each time. I think my laptop is on it's last legs anyway, I couldn't cope with that happening! Glad you're all sorted now and back with 7! xx

  13. Your card is so gorgeous Anne; the die cut is a perfect match for your paper.
    So sorry to hear that you've had so much trouble with the laptop. (I must be one of the lucky ones as our laptop and my desktop upgraded to 10 with no problems at all). Glad you've got everything back to normal now.
