CHEF PIERRE WINE!

Good Afternoon!
To say I'm struggling a bit with my Computer? Is an understatement!!
ALL my digital images plus family photo's were on an External Drive to keep them safe??
Only thing is it fell off the consul onto the floor a drop of 18"and according to the Computer man nothing is retrievable!! Unless I want to send it away at a cost of hundreds! The only thing he said he could do was empty my Recycle Bin..So that's what he did last week only to find it goes back to when I first bought this computer and nothing I need is there?? So the computers going back again for another try! I thought that having an external drive was a good thing? and felt everything was safe! Only to find out it isn't..



Now this little sweetie lives at Bugaboo Stamps and he's called Chef Pierre Wine
Coloured with Copics...I've used a Crafts-Too Embossing folder with hearts on at the back of the computer sentiment. Papers LOTV pad,

Challenges entering..

Catch the Bug ~ Bingo {bottom row}
Alphabet ~ D for Dots
Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Use Black, Tan and Red

Oh this is a brilliant male card Chrissy! Love the fab colour combo… such a wonderful image and the sentiment is perfect with it!
So sorry to read about your computer trouble. Omg! that sounds like my worst nightmare… computer failing and then external hard drive too. I was wondering about that the other day. Think I will now buy a 2nd external hard drive! really hope they manage to get your digital images back for you… will have fingers, toes and everything crossed for you!!!
Take care
Big hugs, Sue B xx

Another fabulous card! Love that image and the fun saying

So sorry to hear about your computer trouble. Lately I have been uploading my digi files to Google's on line "Drive". I have most images and photos stored on a USB drive, but some of the USB drives have failed for me in the past, so Google's drive is my back up now. It does take a long time though to upload the files since I have managed to collect so many.

This is perfectly masculine and colors suit chef Pierre so well, the patterned background too. Lovely personalized sentiment also, I'm sure the card will be much appreciated.
Sorry to hear you're having computer issues. Having an external drive I too thought was the solution... Good luck with that, hope you get your photos and images retrieved.

Fabulous card Chrissy..I'm so sorry that you have lost all your precious photos..I have always downloaded onto CD discs and lately gone tech savvy and put everything onto flash drive sticks..so I have everything backed up twice..good luck with it all..so heart breaking eh!..

Another gorgeous creation, great colours and a super fun image.
Oh gosh, how dreadful, invented by males, so I suppose you have to expect glitches, I hate computers. My Hubby talked me into getting an Apple Mac, just over 12 months ago, better to beat hackers, well that is about all it may be better for 'cos it is damned complicated and I lost stuff that was not compatible with this machine.
Good Luck, hope you can get it sorted pdq.

Brilliant male card Chrissy, love the image and colour combo! You have all my sympathy over your computer issues! Have a problem with opening email attachments and my son was trying to sort it out for me...he's gone home now...and I think all my files have gone with him!!! No images, photos or documents to be found!

Great card!
I too had an external hard drive.
And it fell.
Pictures, gone.
You can get some amazingly big USB keys these day.
That's what I use now.
