A Cuddle Makes it All Better

 Good evening  everyone before I start my Get Creative challenge blog I want to explain my card, some of you may remember this card as I made it a while ago I would not normally use a card I had made before but needs must . My trusty Canon printer broke a week gone Friday tried to get it fixed but looked like repair was more than the cost of a new one as Canon were the only people who had the software to mend it. So I ordered a new one the next day from John Lewis it came last Monday started setting it up and at step 3 up comes an error code tried all the usual things still couldn't sort it. I then rang JL tech support who also could not fix it so asked me to send it back and they would send a replacement. They told me to contact Hermes to collect and book a slot which I did only to find I needed to print a label but no printer !! Thankfully when Hermes driver came they were able to take it only thanks to a very helpful delivery man . My replacement Canon printer has now arrived and with a few hiccups and some frustration its now set up and working printing my 300 gsm card fine. This is a bit longwinded but does explain why my card is not a new design/

  5. If they sell it then we always buy electrical's from JL as their customer service and replacement service is second to non and sounds like they came through OK with your printer.

    As always a really beautifully designed card with so much attention to detail.

  8. I can relate Carole..my canon printer (which I've had for years!) broke so I ordered a new one online..it came..sorted it all out..went to print and oh my goodness!!! I thought the ceiling was crashing in lol..so back it went..ordered a different model because I wanted a top loader and not a bottom one like the previous one and thankfully it's all up and running! Your card is so pretty..take care hugs Sue x
