Blogger Problems with Tiscali/Talk Talk

Hi everyone I am having lots of problems accessing blogger since Tiscali has been taken over by Talk Talk. Is anyone else having these problems? I can get onto blogger for a little while then it stops connecting and I have to turn the computer off. Does anyone know how to solve this problem its driving me mad!

Popcorn with a twist!

Hi everyone, just a quick post whilst my little girl is asleep, she has got a sickness bug and has been poorly all night.
This is the card I gave to my dad for his birthday yesterday. I fancied doing something for a change so this twister image is from the Popcorn Bear Men's CD. I have never done one of these before but I quite like the effect.
I used a great sketch over at One Stop Craft Challenge to make this card.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
