Here is my posting for Day 7 – Lab 5 Module 12: cogwheels; arrows, QR code (didn’t do that). Experiment 1: Title on a curve; Experiment 3: color/pattern/texture (plaids); Experiment 4: sketch/template (I used a sketch with some modification. The papers are all mine (the textured cream color and blue color papers don’t show the texture so much at 600), the arrows I shortened the one made in the lab (and I recolored them too); I used one of the cogwheels to make a picture tube which I scattered on the layout. The frames are from the PSP picture frame folder. The masks for the photos where made with brush strokes. Finished this last night and posted it on What Are You Working on in September 2021.
Lovely layouts Anita.
More entries for today:
Mary Solaas (2), those chevrons can be so versatile when you change colors and dimensions. So many techniques in that last project!!!
Wanda (Sue) McGuire (3), I love those string designs so much. It is too bad they are not as popular as they were in the 70’s!
Shirley (2), was it the colored focus technique, leaving everything but the subject, in black and white (or sepia)? I had forgotten about the Scrapper’s Dozen! In a way, the tutorials this weekend will be a bit like that.
Nadine, those shadows are very good!!!
Lyn Lou (3), isn’t it fun to be able to add maps to a project? It is readily available to anyone and can illustrate any region of the world.
Sue Thomas (2), beautiful snow globes, and that is so versatile! Thanks for pointing out the tutorial for the word tree.
Susan Ewart, I am soooooo happy to finally see one of those sandwiches! I was wondering who would be the first one to post it. It is a great exercise and reading the stories during the Bootcamp always makes me smile.
Bonnie Ballentine (3), subway art can be used for so many different topics and occasions. Whether it is names, phrases, or even house rules!
Ann Seeber, bubbles are always fun to use as they add a voice the subject, and it is often funny or cute.
Sheila Hogg, interesting how you already used a lifted shadow for that project!
Rene Marker, the overlapping technique (essential for paperclips) is so useful in other arrangements
Corrie Kinkel, I’ll have to look if I can create new templates for another Up-to-date challenge, but why not?
MoniqueN, there might be another such challenge. Maybe in October?
Anita Wyatt, yes, rotating text is a simple yet effective way to add notes, dates, etc. You could make matching pages for a whole series of animals then turn it into a kids’ book!
Keep them coming. This thread is a gold mine of ideas!
Your welcome MoniqueN
Thank you Susan Ewart, my mother will be 90 next year and up until a few years ago she was still very active, but due to a few falls, the doctor told her to slow down and take it easy, especially in the hot summers we were having. Since the pandemic we were all in lockdowns, and she was in our bubble so we were her main carers, for the past few years, and my sisters were not able to visit her, because of the lockdown rules, until June/July this this year. She still loves her garden and spends most days out in her garden tending her plants, or doing her other crafting hobbies.
I really enjoyed the Feb 2021 Love Story Challenge and in Lesson 4, (password: teddy) learning how to create my own mask so I went on to create a bonus layout that week for one of my animal friends. It was a break after showcasing Magic, the new great-grandbaby in town.
I love the title Big 10 ‘Show-off’ Thread although always hesitant to show my creations when you see such competence from others. I have used my PSP skills learned mainly from Carole’s Scrapbook Campus to create a lot of greetings cards for my family and friends throughout the year. The extra advantage of creating your own means you can create both a hard copy to post as well as sending via whatsapp or such like. With my family living 6000 miles away from me, this has been so successful. To join in with tentatively ‘showing off’ I am posting a selection of my cards.
This card I made for easter this year. I used Carole’s scripts: card and envelope and the date stamp. 🙂
Something I did for basic scrap 2017. I have spent so much time this week going through discs trying to find past works. I always try and burn to disc because I have learnt how annoying it can be when PCs stop working and become defunct and you lose precious work. I do have a lot of discs though and 2 external hard drives. Anyway, I found this one, saved with correct save details, something I was a bit remiss about in earlier PSP days. I love the way this one used the rings as taught by Carole, something very effective and something that would not have entered my brain to devise. TFL.
My impression is that this thread has exceeded any other in inspiration… I am in awe! So much skill is shown here, whether from a beginner or a veteran.
Great work, Everyone! And congratulations, Carole, because you are the one that made this possible!
Here is my entry #4.
This is from an old challenge called Mystery Challenge; the Scavenger Hunt Challenge kind of replaced it.
The year was 2017, and we had to add 10 elements to a layout… I struggled because usually, I only have a few elements on a page… Would I do it differently today? Sure, but it was fun, anyhow.
There are so many tutorials on this page that I can only refer to the Classes>Intermediate>Creative Scrap
I love this technique but I am not completely happy with this effort…and I created it in 2018. We had a fabulous visit to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home.
And entry #5
Again from the Mystery Challenge – List, the year 2018.
Masterclass: https://scrapbookcampus.com/master-classes/touch-it/
tuto used “Lifted Shadows” well, I tried LOL not sure it’s great on the 2 photos ;(
Another page from the bootcamp. Using the cutout (pinking shear edges) and learning how to change colors on the fonts. I also learned about the size of the photo’s on the page. Originally they were very small and it looked odd. I like that we get the feed back from Cassel and from other members. Design isnt natural for me so I like the critiques to help me “see” what I’m not paying attention to. The bootcamp project that Cassel was demonstrating was Bees so I added the word in the layout even though boats and bees are only related by the letter ‘B’ . side note: when I was a kid we lived at a lake and we’d swim out to this old wooden boat. One summer we jumped in and to our surprise there was a bees nest and we all got swarmed and stung. We jumped in to the water and swam back home crying…for me bees and boats go hand in hand.
Ann, I love the skunk. You are so lucky to get to see so many critters.
Had an attempt at Lifted Shadows – I think I need more practice!
https://scrapbookcampus.com/master-classes/overflowing/This one has several things combined. Cannot remember all but the obvious out is of bounds using promoted selections, along with the overflow.
I’d like to show any newcomers what can be done with the very first lesson in layers. I’ve taken Bootcamp four times and each one produces a different lunch table. Here’s one I like best. Since I embellished it, I must confess I had the most trouble with cutting the sandwich and the toothpicks!
Mine went to spam again I guess. I do not see it. I edited to add the link and it went away
I learnt to do this Christmas Tree, fir effect in one of your Master Classes, sorry cant remember which one.
I used it to make cluster frames to sell in my store.I thought it was about time, I posted something, that I created from the Basic Scrap Course. My daughter had a fire at her place a couple of weeks ago. It destroyed the garage and melted a small amount of the back corner of the house. Thank goodness, her dog, Luna woke them up. She is our hero.
Oh, my goodness, Helen! What a shame. Thank goodness no one was hurt. The dog, Luna, is the hero.
Have to say – everything is so inspiring – so many ideas.
A long time ago there was a software that I shared with my granddaughter “Where in the World is Carmen Santiago?” and so I have to ask – Where in the world is Annie Tobin?? I miss you!
My posting for Day 8 is “Green Acres” My granddaughter, Heather, (now a mom of 4 and a Case Worker at our local hospital) was allowed to drive the tractor by our friend and she came down the hill singing the theme song from Green Acres. This was done from <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Lab 6 Module 1</span>: Cathedral window pattern paper, puffy paint, wood frame; Experiment 1 was song lyrics or title.
For all who miss Annie T: She is having internet problems and often no connection at all. She is also very busy with the scripting studies and not sure if she will have time to come here, but she is well and a bit frustrated at the same time!
Every evening (my time) I spend quit some time to look at all the new entries here and it is time well spend! For today I want to show a layout that I made during a Scraplift challenge. Every month there are weekly challenges about someting special and they return once in a while. We get a layout and are asked to make something a bit similar using our own photos, ideas, fonts etc. In this example the Save me! page was the starting image and the Nature one is what I made out of it.
Scrapbook Campus: scraplift challenge
This is the project I did in Bootcamp for Day 7 – Friendship. I learnt how to use Guides, so I could scale the 3 photos to be the same height. After that, I played with glitters. It was a Fun class as always. Thank you Carole for all the interesting classes, tutorials and helpful tips. You have made playing with PSP so much fun! Thank you everyone here, you are all very talented and I enjoy all your projects.
Here are two pages using the polka dot frame I created. Initially I created it for the monarch butterfly, to match it’s spots, and used it again for the bingo challenge, quite some time ago. You will find several polka dot tutorials in the creative scrap, one being the multicoloured polka dots tutorial.
Halloween isn’t too far away. It’s something I have never celebrated, not even as a child. Creating these were fun though. I took a photo of a beautiful young lady wearing a large brimmed hat, and transformed her into someone you wouldn’t want to meet on a dark night. Masterclasses: Spooky, and Spooky 2. These pages were done using the Masterclass Spooky 2. I have lost track, on what, and how many posts I’ve made, not only in the projects, but in the Trivia, and the classes. Oh well! It’s fun to see what everyone has created. All very inspirational.
