Happy to give you a laugh Bonnie … what goes around comes around eh! Love this Rio Grande page my friend and those dogs sure do look to be having a ball. <3
Playing with the masks again (Day 7) and decided to offer some info on these boobies. Their beaks fascinate me, kinda lika a speckled rainbow ice block and such a contrast with their foot colour … nature really is amazing. The font used for the titles is Chicken Butt … go figure, ;D
Fun with clipart: for when you don’t have much time or any ideas, but you must produce something. Font is Mia Bella, paper and gnome from Creative Fabrica, envelope from The Hungry JPEG, and cupid from NicePng. (Daily pic for my gaming group, of course.)
I haven’t been here for quite a while and see tons of wonderful and creative layouts. Everyone has done an excellent job. Thanks for the inspiring ideas.
I started out just playing with the pictures of frost on my windows that I took the other day. One thing lead to another and this is what I came up with. If this Covid crisis ever settles down, I think I need to start saving for another trip to Hawaii. Sigh!
Annie T … I am always fascinated by your colorful birds. Yes, we have some colorful birds here, but I must say they seem “mildly colorful” compared to yours! If I ever get out there I am going to have to just plunk myself down somewhere and spend a lot of time just gawking at birds! Love your bird posts.
I’ve had company for the past three/four days. They’ve gone home now but I am too tired to make anything. I sure have enjoyed looking at all your works though. Always something inspiring to gander at! Think it’s an early night for me! zzzzzzz
Thanks dear Minka, always appreciated my friend. There will be a lot more of those type of posts from me as the photos are easy to get from a reliable source and … I have so few photos of my own. 🙂
I was messing around with the watercolor background in the creative scrap area and one of the backgrounds that I came up with was this. While I liked it, it’s very dark and it took me a few minutes to figure out where I could use it. Dawned on me that the Renaissance Faire uses a lot of dark colors so this is what came of it.
Lynda: That brings back memories for me. We have a Renaissance Faire here around Labor Day. My husband loved the turkey legs and we enjoyed the jousting and the raptors. Nice layout.
I couldn’t come up with something for my FB gaming group’s theme the other day until I found this illustration of wine being poured into a glass. For the background I resized the original pic to a square and applied a seamless tiling effect. Then I decided to try the Displacement Map which I’d never used before. It has a setting called Under Ice and I liked the way it looked. The font is Frisha. As our friend Annie would say, thanks for taking a peek!
Annie: I just love the contrast of the red footed booby against the sky blue bill. Your layout really brings that out and, as always, I enjoy reading what you write.
Michele: a darling layout for the Fab Diva’s. I really like the Valentine gnome. Great idea. You got me on Wine Swirl. Fantastic layout for your group.
Lynda: love what you did with the watercolor background. My oldest son use to the a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. In fact, he and his wife held a medieval wedding, which was very interesting. The picture of the hawk and his handler (in full costume) is great.
I haven’t been here for a while and it is treat to look at all the different pages that are made and read about birds etcetera! I was busy on the Love Story Challenge and have posted my work there and on Facebook. After a challenge I always have to clean up the (computer-)mesh I make with bits and pieces everywhere. It is just as scrapbooking with paper without the actual mesh on the floor! But I love it.
Divine Michele … everything about it appeals. And, it almost looks as if the bottom glass is catching what is flowing out of the top glass … and … divine colours to boot! Excellent work my friend. ;D
Well you found the right trick with this one Lynda. Sometimes I create a really dark background which I love but am at a loss as to how to use it without sinking into dreariness. Your page is inspirational thank you my friend. 😉
I have been playing around with cutouts following Carole’s tut. I love it, they are such fun. I have also discovered how to trace using the same principle … a little fiddling here and there, as you do! Never realised how much I would come to love the Edit Selection tool. Anyway, this is the Mary River Turtle which is endangered and being closely monitored now to ensure it’s survival. Isn’t it a quirky little fella? It is also known as the Green Haired Turtle and, … for obvious reasons … the Punk Rock Turtle. Thanks for takin a peek. 😉
Love, love all the new additions to this thread. EVERYONE is doing a spectacular job!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Karon.
Sweet Annie, the top glass pouring into the bottom glass is exactly what I was going for!
Annie T – This Fishy layout is great. I love tea but most of my teapots are cow related. Very pretty. I love your bird layouts and this one is so much fun. Your use of arrows for the labeling is awesome. Your green haired turtle made me laugh. I am now interesting in the cutouts/tracing… I will get there I hope. On lab 7-12!!! Only 36+ to go.
Michele – Your cupid ball layout made me smile. It is just so fun. Your wine from one cup to the other is fantastic. I love the look.
Lynda D – Your colors for the renaissanace faire layout is beautiful. Goes so well with the woman’s clothing and head dress.
