Of printers and headaches



Last year I finally bought a multifunction printer that I was satisfied with, the printing results as well as scanning were very good for the price that I paid. And, of course, about a year and a week after I bought it, ie. the warranty is expired, the machine decided to stop. You know, I have been good to it. I have only used Canon new cartridges, no cheap alternatives not even refueled ones. After a few calls to the Canon service centre, the only solution that has been given to me So it is time now, once again to get myself another one. I have decided to go back once and for all to Epson after years of trying the other two major competitors, I truly think that I am meant for Epson. Now, I just need to choose which one.

In other news, I am so looking forward to Dawns Residential in a bit more than a week. If you ever been you will know that it is a fun occasion. Hopefully I will see many familiar faces as well as some new ones.

And the layout above? Do you recognize the photo? Yes, it is probably one of my most used photos in layouts and projects. Not only I adore the photo, but also I have got plenty of prints of it that are crying to be used. So, when I have a commission or a job that involves fotos those prints are used. The same can be applied to other photos like the one of Samara -nickname Layla- on the boat.

And, the papers? You guessed it right, My Mind's Eye. Honestly, I am not on commission. But there is a reason. This layout I made for a QVC kit. But I must admit that I was more than happy to use them, it is so exciting to make cards and layouts with products that you like not only their patterns but their quality and creative possibilities.

Argh, same happened with my printer Paula. I had a super HP one and treated it like it was made of gold. Died on me and couldn't be repaired! So I bought a real cheap HP that cost the same as I was paying for cartridges. I buy compatibles for it now and think if it goes the same way I won't mind so much.

The LO is gorgeous and phwoar to that photo! lol
