You are very sweet shutterpixi, thank you for your kind comment. <3
February 16, 2019 at 7:38 pm #26036Lovely result shutterpixi and I think your bokeh background is great! <3
February 16, 2019 at 7:40 pm #26038Day 7 I went back to the first day, and used the mask and frame that I downloaded. I thought I would end the challenge on a much warmer note. I go home to Wales every year. Whilst we are still in a deep freeze with the ground blanketed in a deep snow here I Canada. Snowdrops, Daffs, Crocus and Primroses are making an appearance. Many of you will know that I will use the photo to create a background paper. Seamless tiling, blur, effects and 2 matching coloured layers, and opacity.
February 16, 2019 at 7:41 pm #26039Rhonda, You Go Girl! Love your result and Hun, we are all learning from each other, YAY!!! <3
February 16, 2019 at 7:42 pm #26040Thanks dear Cristina for your lovely comment. I’m missing seeing your lovely work so am looking forward to when you get back into it again. Hugs.
February 16, 2019 at 7:47 pm #26041Shannon, your page is really lovely and an honor to your ancestors, well done Hun. <3
February 16, 2019 at 7:50 pm #26043There is lots of talent. Here is my Day 1, a bit late. I am not at home so I am limited to the pictures I have.
February 16, 2019 at 7:54 pm #26044Dear Rhonda you have created a delightful page. Your watercolor background is beautiful as is your darling little friend. I have had so many cats over the past 47yrs and I get a little upset now when I cannot remember all their names! Every now and then one of them will just pop into my head and then I think “oh that’s right, there was so and so” and I enjoy the memory. <3
February 16, 2019 at 8:05 pm #26045Sue, this is a lovely spring delight page, well done. It is such a pleasure to view.
We have another couple of weeks left of summer here in the Land Down Under but it probably won’t make much difference. Summer has been brutal this year. The southern end has burnt out and the top end has flooded out. Walking over the lawn is crunchy and crackly here in the south-east of Queensland. Every day promises rain but it ends up just that … a forgotten promise! Up to 500,000 cattle have perished in the north Australian floods let alone the wildlife. Our planet is gearing up for a change I think! <3
Let me keep viewing beautiful digital scrapbook pages so I can get lost in something lovely. <3
February 16, 2019 at 8:07 pm #26046This is a lovely result Royanne, well done Hun. <3
February 16, 2019 at 9:11 pm #26052Annie, we here in California must have received all your rain. There has been so much of it lately, day after day, night after night, that it wiped out our drought conditions for the state; now we are on alert for mudslides. I hope the wet weather pattern shifts soon and that you too will be enjoying the soothing and nourishing rains at last. And I really like your Bokeh effect on the parrots “Love in Blue.”
Shutterpixi, you did a nice job on the Bokeh effect for “The Boys.” Both you and Annie got great results with dark backgrounds using Bokeh. I get nervous when considering a dark background for Bokeh, but you guys made it work well. I must keep this in mind the next time I have misgivings about using the dark with Bokeh effect, and just go for it and see what happens.
On my page for the paper, I used a heart stamp (Touch My Heart Lite) arranged in straight lines instead of a circular dot shape, then played around with the Pattern effect set at 4 columns, 3 rows, and 90% rotation angle. It made an interesting pattern like little bouquets of hearts. I spent a good deal of time working with the wire text effect but my phrase was just a bit too long, and when it was resized to fit on the page it wasn’t as readable as Cassel’s “Our love is forever” wire text, so eventually I ditched the phrase I was working on and went with Cassel’s wire text instead. I liked her idea of the gold frame so used that on my page too with an interior bevel effect and thin frame drop shadow. Thanks for taking a look!
My gratitude to Cassel for another fantastic challenge! Now I know how to use masks. Thanks also to everyone who participated — for me that is at least 50% of the benefit of these challenges; I come away from them with so much inspiration from everybody’s creativity.
February 16, 2019 at 11:13 pm #26058Love Story Challenge, Day 2 results. Liked being able to build-a-plaid! 🙂 Going to come in very handy.
February 16, 2019 at 11:38 pm #26059A lovely result redradar and very romantic indeed. I’ve asked the heavens to cancel the mudslides for you guys and to send the rain this way! 🙂 <3
February 16, 2019 at 11:39 pm #26060I love your result Shannon, old fashioned and delightful, well done Hun. <3
February 16, 2019 at 11:50 pm #26062Day 7, final layout
Caden’s favorite color is blue so I decided to do a silver title instead of gold. I need to find some better textures for the metals. Not really happy with the masks but they are what they are.
My text sizes are messed up. the small February at the bottom was at 100 and I had to resize it to get what I wanted. Caden’s name was at least a 250 and then I enlarged that one too. I use the 3600 x 3600 size all the time and never had to resort to those large sizes.
Anyway, except for my glitches, of which I’ve had too many, I have enjoyed this, even the second time around. I had forgotten some of these lessons!! Thanks Carole!!
February 17, 2019 at 3:29 am #26069Very nice result Teri, well done. <3
February 17, 2019 at 3:33 am #26071Hi Scrapbook Campers. This is my result for no.7. Photo is from Unsplash by banter-snaps. Cluster is another with just a string of numbers for id, came as a freebie many years ago. I did use the font Emily and I do love the delicate result, thanks Cassel.
February 17, 2019 at 2:21 pm #26085@Cassel, sorry, I registered, but my pc crached some days ago. I dont know when I will have my pc back. So I will follow an other challenge when I have my pc back.
Marie-ClaireFebruary 17, 2019 at 2:31 pm #26086@Marie-Claire, that is not a problem. The tutorials will still be available to you whenever you are available to do them.
February 17, 2019 at 8:26 pm #26094Day 7
Wasn’t happy with a darker background, I like ‘light’, did the polka dot but with a heart shape brush, wire text using the sculpture texture and used a flower shape brush when doing the mask.
We love all our grandbabies but these 2 lived with us and they are the two we have the most photos for. No favouritism!!Thanks for another great challenge Carole. I really must practice your method of doing masked images more. I always make my masks, then just do them using mask layer/from image so the way you’ve shown us is a bonus.
Everyone has done gorgeous work…… and anyone that this is new too, well you’d never know…… they all look like everyones been doing this for years. Well done everyone.
February 17, 2019 at 8:27 pm #26096OK I’m on day 6. but first a few shout outs.
@REDRADAR….Love the title of Bokeh page and you made day 7 simply beautiful. @ANNIE…Day 6 Great bokeh background for the beauatiful Blue Couple.
@AUS…love lettering in Canada mask. I must try that one day.@CRISTINA…TY and I can’t wait to see your stuff.
@SHANNON – Love me some family history! Great job and love you green plaid. I struggled with mine, kept getting not so great surprises.
@SUE THOMAS – WoW Sue, the flowers love you too! Gorgeous!Now Day 6 is my 3 year old granddaughter. Pictures taken for family Christmas card near their home in Memphis, TN. The mask and snowflake are some photoshop brushes I had. This exercise has been fun and @CASSEL, your background is so soft. Love it
February 17, 2019 at 10:24 pm #26099Love the colours Rhonda. And your granddaughter is gorgeous in her ‘christmas’ dress.
February 17, 2019 at 10:42 pm #26103Day 2, enjoyed working with the plaids. Used fall colours. Added some stitches.
February 18, 2019 at 12:36 am #26108My sixth project complete. It has been quite the learning experience.
February 18, 2019 at 4:36 pm #26127Day 7. Didn’t have a gold pattern for my lettering. Use the wood. But I’ll figure something out to get gold pattern. Won’t give up.
Thanks Cassel! I’ve learned so much.
Thanks All of You! I’ve enjoyed the journey with you all.
February 18, 2019 at 5:14 pm #26130@Cassel , thank you so much for your help. I think that I got the order of it all down now. I just finished my Day 2. Yey I am way behind in this one. But at the same time I am learning so much. Now I’m on to Day 3 well see how that goes.
Nana
February 18, 2019 at 7:46 pm #26136Day 3 results. Honoring my family history.
February 18, 2019 at 9:34 pm #26141Day 7 – I used one of my fuchsia colored roses for this final exercise of the challenge. I opted for a varied polka dot background that I created using the technique Carole described in her tutorial. I didn’t do the wire text, but instead, decided to use the font Christmas Wish Calligraphy and the sculpture effect with significant drop shadows to ensure the text wasn’t lost in the background. For the outside frame, I flood filled with the color of the rose, then used Graphics Plus – Cross Shadow.
February 19, 2019 at 3:03 am #26150Day 4 results, making our own mask, and papers!
February 19, 2019 at 9:46 am #26158Again, lovely layouts posted here… I love to see the different styles… Nice work, everyone!
I’ve been busy and managed to finish 4 layouts so far… It is good for me to participate again in this challenge because there are techniques that I haven’ used since last year and this is a good way for me to practice them.
Besides the kits, suggested by Cassel, I also used elements from Sheila Reid and Ginger Jones (PixelScrapper). I also used Cassel’s DistressedEdge freebie and Corner Punches D Brushes.
