More entries for today:
Shirley, what an attitude this guy has!
MoniqueN. I think there was a tutorial that I did for Corel for that Popart technique. I’ll have to look at that.
Dee347 (3), these are old classes, yet always useful!
Lyn Lou (3), that Travel Tale challenge has been very popular in this thread.
Corrie Kinkel, that was a fun tutorial for me to make too.
Nadine, such a nice way to showcase that photo.
Mary Solaas, did you use the music tubes from the blog?
Susan Ewart, would anyone look at you funny taking pictures in the bathroom?
Anita Wyatt, you had fun with the shadows!
Ann Seeber, you spent a YEAR there?? Wow!
Bonnie Ballentine, great out-of-bound photos.
Keep them coming!
Carole, you had one tube for the staff and one for the notes, etc. and so I did the staff first and then added the notes to it!
Day 5, When I first used this mask it was a gift for the love story challenge, and I had so much trouble,I got so frustrated I only managed one of the smaller templates. I thought it was rather cute with the mother hen sitting on the wee kittens. I was going to put one kitten in each box but it wouldn’t work, but the 3 p’s usually work practise practice practise. As you see I can manage it now, and the one with the dogs was used for the travel challenge.
I cant remember if this one was from the Travel Tale Challenge, but I enjoyed doing this one.
This one was from a walk around London taking photos of various places of interest in London. The birds were seen in Regents Park Boating lake, on the right page, there is The London Eye, Tower of London, Liberty’s of London, St Pauls Cathedral, Kings Cross Stn, St Pancras Stn, Nelson’s column in Trafalgar Square.
This was the Travel Tale Challenge, of a holiday in Gloucester.
I think this was also from the Travel Tale Challenge. It was also, our holiday in Jersey with mum. This was one of the amazing beaches. And also the zoo we visited.
This is one of my projects when I first started Bootcamp. I learnt a lot about using layers, adding background papers and using the selection tool. I enjoyed all the classes. Meet Leo, one of my fur-kids. Please keep him in your prayers, he is going to have an Ultrasound done tomorrow to see what is going on, as he has not been feeling well for the past few weeks. Thank you Carole and everyone here.
on the Facebook group we often have challenges with a picture. I created this fun composition with a picture of a woman painting lots of fun with overlays using different filters. I love the fractal shapes for a really interesting effect.
In July I did the Basic Scrap Course and this layout is from Module 3. Watching the Shadows Masterclass reminded me that this module included adjusting shadows (I didn’t apply that here but did experiment with the technique) and also Reverse Shadows – something I had not heard of before but made a lot of sense. Vertical Text and Inner bevel was also covered. The big takeaway for me in this module apart from adjusting shadows and reverse shadows was using the Shift key to move smaller elements and it has ended my frustrations with moving elements and text. It is learning these little things that can make a huge difference. I think the Shift Key is a power key!
This is an older project I did, following the masterclass, Many Shades of Grey. Where the text was lifted, and stitched. The music notes are one of Carole’s tubes. Other tutorials in the creative scrap are the postage stamp, date stamp, stitched text, and extraction, and text on a path. The grass is a tube, tractor tracks also one of Carole’s tubes on a ploughed field. Looking at this earlier project now, I can see now that I would make several improvements.
This is something I did to display some photo’s of the project we undertook last summer whilst being in lockdown. I also used a free lineart image of a pot of flowers from Doverpub which I used the plugin Cybia from Alphworks to make it transparent. I then was able to colur it using many, many layers and using other techniques to give some depth and shade. I used my own leaf tube and the interlacing technique. All images are my own eccept the Font. I can’t give credit for it because I don’t remember whose it was but it was possibly one that came with PC. The plants are growing up the frame this year but will take a few before it will look as I hope it will. TFL
work with Overlays
I love working with overlays, but not only on the photos … also on paper to transform them 🙂 Here is a photo that is overlayed on a paper to give it the same texture and confuse it with the backgroundThis is from the July 2021 bootcamp, project 3. we worked with glitter tiles. I learned more about using the flood fill tool in this bootcamp. the first bootcamp I was like a deer in the headlights; bewildered. In the second bootcamp I was more relaxed and could absorb more of the techniques. I didn’t know the what a glitter tile was and that glitter paper was different. This is a collaboration of an artist friend, her amazing glass art and my photography and wood stands.
Lyn, I love the font you used in your lay out. Do you remember which one that was?
Love London too by the way 🙂
Looking to find a new entry for today I found the lesson with text wrapping(?) I was looking for 🙂
This is day 4 of the Story time challenge 🙂
Karon Dey, thank you so much! You are very kind. <3 I miss seeing your work in this thread; you have created so many lovely layouts inspired/following the Labs tutorials. 🙂
Here is my entry #3.
Still showing my first layouts and using fasteners… I was so happy to be able to create them! In fact, it’s still great to be able to create papers, elements, and so much more following Cassel’s tutorials.
Paper clip: https://scrapbookcampus.com/element-creation-index/paperclip/
I used Cassel’s Playdough Alphabet freebie.
One can see that I didn’t know how to add it correctly to the page. This shows me how much I have learned from Carole since then… But I also know there’s a lot more! 🙂
My contribution for today is MASKS. I thoroughly enjoyed the Love Story Challenge in February for that reason. My great-grand Logan was born Feb 6 so I got to showcase him in a layout that I really admired. I did struggle a bit but in the end I love the result. The font for the title is Mama.
My dear friend Cristina, those were the days, when we were very green. Now those techniques like adding a paper clip correctly, has now become second nature. I just cringe when I look back on some of my very early projects. Thanks to Carole, I like to think that we have evolved into competent creators of whatever our discipline is when using PSP.
It has been interesting seeing so many projects by a lot of people. I really enjoy looking at all of them.
Dear Sue, this Big10 event gave me the opportunity to look back on my first layouts and remember how much fun I had creating them… Of course, I look at some pages and think: “Well, well… ” LOL… Learning is a process, and we cannot be disappointed if we don’t get it immediately… just keep trying… There’s a saying in German: “Übung macht den Meister.” or “Practice makes the Master”… So, I will keep trying. 🙂
And as you said, if we don’t cringe anymore, we have to thank Carole.
Best wishes, my friend. <3
Cristina the page about your hike and the “Jause” made me think of my own trips in the Swiss Alps! It’s a lovely page and yes you were learning as I’m now.
Sue as you know I admire your work and it is very encouraging to see how far you have come in those years! I’m planning to stay, learn and play in the campus as long as I can.
For today I want to show SubwayArt from a blogpost in december last year. I made a ChristmasCard and printed it to send to family and friends. It is in: https://scrapbookcampus.com/blog/subway-art
Thank you so much for your kind words Corrie. I have said on numerous occasions in recent years to newbies, don’t panic, we have all been there. Not being a scrapbooker, paper and scissors or digital. It was very much an alien world. Back them I used PSP to create calendars and cards using my photos, and photo editing. I like to think that I now inspire others with my own unique style. I’m pleased to read that you are planning on staying, and one day, a few years down the road you’ll look back, like so many of us have, and realize how far you have come, while establishing your own unique style. Feeling a real sense of achievement, thanks to the campus. Back when I joined, there wasn’t the volume of tutorial videos, there are today. I can understand why some newbies find it a little overwhelming, as there is so much available, to learn.
We have an announcement in our family; my granddaughter and her fiancé have announced their wedding date for next year. I decided to play with the Love Story Challenge masks and Carole’s linoleum pattern paper. I used two background papers, the base is monochrome and the top is multicolor and reduced in sise to create a border. The top font is Mama and the lower one is Mistral. A very simple page when finished and I like them that way.
So, without further ado, here are Ilana and Maverick announcing the big date!
EDIT: Here’s the link for the tutorial for the linoleum paper. You can make it any color to match your photo and apply various effects, also.
Wow…I thought I could pop in once or twice a day to catch everything and comment. I was wrong…maybe I need to pop in every hour to be able to comment. Such creativity…it is fun to go back and see how we started! Thank you, Everyone, for sharing. I love every project!
Ann Seeber, such beautiful layouts. I love the look of the masks. I think I will look into a tutorial. Anita, I hope Leo cat is doing well. It’s such a worry when our fur kids are not feeling well. Really nice to come home from work and check in here and see so many wonderful and varied layouts and projects.
Coming in late; but here is one showing one of my favorite lab lessons:
Lab 10 Module 10
Lesson 1: cross pattern on paper
Lesson 2: mushroom element
Experiment 2: element – chain
Experiment 4: sketch idea – CoolbreezewendyMore entries for today.
Shirley, isn’t it fun to see how you went from struggling with one task to going through without issue?
Lyn Lou (3), I think it was the Double Take challenge that used those templates, but of course, they could be used for much more!
Anita Wyatt, beautiful cat, and such a cute font too.
Diane Co. great use of an “overlay”.
Euka, yes, “grabbing” small elements can be so frustrating. I should remind people of using the Shift key with the Move tool to move the whole layer, no matter where you “grab”.
Sue Thomas, yeah, I was not sure when I had shown that flipped letter technique, and yes, it was in the Shades of grey.
Sheila Hogg, that vase is very well done.
Nadine, overlays can give such great texture to photos or papers. I think they are often underused.
Susan Ewart, I am glad you didn’t run away like a deer and came back for another bootcamp! Practice is so important.
MoniqueN. the Text wrapping was such a welcome addition to PSP when it was finally included!
Cristina, interesting that you “used” a paperclip, yet it is not fastening anything on this particular layout 🙂
Ann Seeber (2), the struggling is part of learning, isn’t it? And congratulations on the great news!
Corrie Kinkel, that was a fun tutorial to create subway art. In fact it can become great frames, or card for a variety of occasions.
Karon Day, it is obvious that you are enjoying those Lab modules! You faithfully follow them all, one by one! 🙂
