My Creative Classroom - Rubber Stamping Back to Basics Wk 4 (part i)

My homework for week 4 has been severely interrupted - a faulty printer which my husband & I tried to install wirelessly with my lovely MAC. A replacement arrived but turned out to be faulty as well  when we attempted to install that (according to Apple & Epson this is extremely unusual). Then there was the continuing saga of my Dell laptop (now serviced & returned from Dell UK Hardware Support, & after a few hours with Software Support at the end of a phone to get it set up wirelessly, it will function until it chooses to go slow & need Software Support again - for a fee - to sort it out. Armed with that information the Dell is relegated to living under the dining room table until we can find somewhere else for it to be stored & the Dell printer to a photocopying machine).

We shall wait to purchase another printer - taking my MAC into Cardiff's Apple Centre &  picking one that they have for it to be installed there. We will then take said printer home via a 2 hour bus ride. Should be interesting but we've had enough for the moment & I've lots of homework to catch up on. It's a good job both of us are retired, but there are other matters of life to take care of too besides computers & crafting. I am still aiming to work with digi images but that is some time away now & in the meantime I have plenty to learn about techniques & colouring.

The final example was one of those where I discarded the image as I had a pooling of water on the leaf with attendant smudging & the background I'd been rather disappointed with. Both pieces were in the bin & kept winking at me - so I retrieved them & fiddled a bit.
