Two more from my photographs + success at last

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well with you :o)
Although I have success at last, I also have some frustration which I can't seem to sort out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firstly, I have finally taken advice - thanks to Christine and others - and downloaded Firefox and it's fantastic, I can see my followers for the first time in weeks and everyone else's too Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy. What's more, all of your blogs are loading much faster :o)  
The frustration is that I cannot see my cursor so I don't know when it's there, or not as the case may be! I also  couldn't type in above, or in between, my photographs once I had uploaded them so I have taken them off and will now try placing them under this.
 No, it won't let me add them again so I will have to try later Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
Oh would you believe it, my cursor has just appeared out of thin air so maybe I will be able to upload now too, please cross your fingers for me!


OMG it worked. These cxomputers really do have a mind of their own don't they!
The first card is 8x8 and I took the gerbera photograph, and the roses below,  at Barnsdale a couple of weeks ago. The pearlised card mat looks brown on here but it is actually black.
 
 I opened both pics in PSP and gave them a soft frame, that is the only manipulation, the actual photographs are as they came out of the camera.  
The second card is 6x6 and much simpler and I have used green pearlised card for the basecard. I cannot believe it's taken me about 15 minutes to do this post with all the faffing, but I am hoping that the frustrating bits are ironed out now :o)

Hi Jackie, Love these, what wonderful pics....

As for blogger....dare I say mine has been abit better over the last couple of days, but I have had Firefox all the time, someone told me to try Google chrome, but I had that before...lol...maybe it is gremlins...who knows but at times I really could scream...xxxxx

Hi Jackie, love your photographs and the cards you've made with them. Lucky you, to be able to visit Barnsdale - it's been quite a few years since I last visited it but I'd love to go again. Re: followers - well mine were there this morning, but they've gone now - this happens every now and again so I expect they'll return eventually when blogger/whatever sorts itself out again :) Elizabeth x

Jackie - I really do like the way you use your own photos in your cards. I think the soft frames are really pretty.

As for the technology - it's a big learning curve!! I might have to play with Firefox.
