Lovely posts from everyone and great ideas, too. I agree, Annie, patterned papers have their place, but not everywhere. It’s great though to use them to practice what we are learning here. I made a few template “transfusions” as well, and I am glad to have learned it – especially some of the pitfalls you folks all ironed out for us. Your textures are lovely … as they always are! You are very very good at that! I hear you, too, Sue … outside is calling in a big way. I hope it isn’t going to limit your sends too much! As it gets hotter and hotter in Florida I find myself out doing more and more watering! I feel sorry for the bees when it gets really hot out. I saw an article where you could help them along by placing a bowl of water out and have the bowl FULL of marbles -even the dollar store floral ones, so they can land and not drown. Cool idea. Just thought I would mention, too, one of the things I found in template transitioning … that’s what I am calling it … be aware of the colors used. If you are going to resize the project at the end, which I did, it totally changed the look of the small lines in the transitioned bg. It went from a bright and bold yellow to looking more coral/pink after resizing, which was not the look I was after and did not match my accents. I think it might be a prudent to see what your resized paper might look like resized before putting a great deal of time into it. Yes, I know, you can always change it left in the right format, but just as a time saver, might be quicker to just take a peek at it first. Thanks for sharing your experiences as it helps US as well, but isn’t it awesome when Carole can chime in and solve it in a snap. LOL I love that.
