Blogger Questions


Happy Thursday.  I'm popping in to share a card for this week's One-layer Wednesday Challenge.  It's been way too long since I've played along. The challenge is to create a mini-masterpeice.  It has to fit in a 2 x 2 space.  How fun is that?  I punched out a 2" circle as my mask and stamped on the inside with a touch of inking on the outside.  Yes...I am using these WPlus9 stamps a ton!  Love when I use a set a lot!

And now I have a random questios for you.  Is anyone having problems with following blogs and the blog isn't showing in your list of followed blogs or in your Google Reader?  I wouldn't have realized this was a problem, but thankfully Kerry sent me a really sweet note that prompted me to head on over to her blog.   I readded her blog to blogger and can now see it, but I'm not sure why I couldn't before when I could see myself in her follower list.  Any ideas out there? :)

Beautiful card, Lynn! Love those stamped images inside the circle and the sentiment going across the images. Love it.

With the blogger issue, I did notice that a couple of followers have dropped off and I cannot figure out who it is. I don't know if they removed themselves or the blogger is doing it. I cannot see their post on the reader as well :(

Love that shading . . . gives it such dimension. Cute and light.

Love your mini-masterpiece..

I know one of my bloggie friends realized that if she didn't compose her blog post in google chrome, it wouldn't show up in google reader?! Maybe that's the problem?

Love your one layer wonder!

This is a lovely OLC, Lynn! love how you sponged around your circle,to,add depth!
I do not know what to tell you about blog issues. I think blogger in general has been super wonky over the course of the past few months!!

Super sweet, Lynn! You're really rockin' that set! And I love your masked circle!

And yes, I have that trouble, with Blogger, lots and lots and lots! I haven't noticed it quite as much since the update, but it may very well still be happening under my little, unaware nose.

You really make these stamps shine! I love the soft inking around the masked circle--at first I thought you'd popped a circle up in the middle. It adds so much dimension!
No idea about Blogger--sometimes my Dashboard tells me I'm not following any blogs, but usually refreshing the page fixes it. I might not notice right away if a few blogs weren't showing in my reader since I follow so many, but hopefully the problem gets fixed!

Lynn this is a beautiful card, I love what you were able to do in a 2" circle. A masterpiece. I have run into the same problem with Blogger and solve the problem by re-joining the individuals blog. I'm sure there is a better answer but I haven't found it yet.

Your circle of flowers is lovely, Lynn. Your choice of pretty spring colours and a sweet sentiment is perfect.

Maureen said...

oh, sweet card! When I first saw the thumb nail it looked like you had a circle popped up on foam dots!! What a cool illusion! That is the set I have and need to break open! The dies are just too sweet :) Blogger is a mystery and I've noticed my followers go and and down by one now and then but don't know if that 's blogger or people just not following me anymore (ACK!). I've had to rejoin one blog before after not seeing it show up, but that was a while ago.

Such cool masking!

Chunyuan said...

Great masking.
It happend a few times that I got six or seven posts from same blogger in one day that were posted over six or seven days.

Jenny said...

Brilliant take on the challenge, I would be literal and create a square!! I really had to look twice because you've added great shading to make it look two layers...love it :0)

Blogger is often playing me up too and removing blogs I follow from my dashboard. My follower number drops occasionally for a few days and then goes back again...they must be tinkering behind the scenes again!!
Sorry cant be anymore help than that :0)

What a sweet card Lynn, one of my favs from you!

YES I have blogger issues from time to time. It says I'm not following any blogs, then poof somehow they return.

Ryann said...

Awesome OLC. Great color combo and I love that the sentiment started over the florals. Great job! :)

Karen B. said...

Beautiful and eye catching card! I am with Maureen, it looks like the panel has been popped up with dots!

Susan said...

I love that you used a circle instead of the square...very creative on your part....I never even thought to do that!

Jen W. said...

Awesome! I thought it was 2 layers at first glance.

Cristina said...

Gorgeous. Love that you did a circle when most others I saw in the gallery were square.

Lisa Arana said...

Lynn... You are on a roll! So simply stunning.

Bumblebee said...

Very cute, like how you stamped inside, then sponged around the edges. Cute stamps too.
