HAPPY HALLOWEEN
From Carole’s Master Class -Ding ding dingbats
This is a template from Pixel Scrappers, Gina Jones. I also used her papers and elements. Again , I don’t have any kids around so I used a goofy photo of my dog, Lucy and a photo of a pumpkin that I carved.
I finally have my new laptop, but I am lost on setting it up. At least I was able to come here and look at everyone’s great work. I don’t even have PSP set up yet, but I’ll get there!
It’s the 5 year anniversary of Eve’s adoption, aka Gotcha Day! I did a pretty little layout showing her then and now. Nothing really fancy, just showcasing her photos. The photo on the right where she’s on my shoulder was more or less a kittie selfie! My iPhone XS has a Portrait mode and you can choose the light level so this is Stage Light.
I did a complete revision of my EVE layout and am now happy.. swapped the photos so they face inward, added a paper strip behind the journaling but had trouble with the jagged border. Added a brad to tie down the photos and a white border that I buttonized.
Carole Cassel? I seem to recall using the eraser tool set to 45 degrees to create the jagged border. Clicking on one corner and holding down the shift key when touching the opposite corner. It didn’t work for me in PSP2021! In fact, it erased the entire edge of the paper without any cutouts. I ended up clicking for each diamond all along the edge of the paper. What did I do wrong?
Ann, maybe it is the Step value that is too small? It should be set to 100 or so to give that effect.
Carole, I can see your song, talent show, where I saw the people in the question marks.
I decided to look up Jellicle Cats. Here’s the definition: The name “Jellicle” comes from an unpublished poem by Eliot entitled “Pollicle Dogs and Jellicle Cats”, where “Pollicle dogs” is a corruption of “poor little dogs” and “Jellicle cats” of “dear little cats”.
=^..^=
Lynda Nice work on the dingbats and I love your layout!
Michele Nice to have you back. To me there is nothing worse than having to start over with a laptop and reload every thing, Wishing you luck with that.
Ann I really like your layout! You have a beautiful cat she looks absolutely precious.
So many of you have given nothing but wonderful compliments on my pages. I’d like to say thank you very much, it means a great deal to me. Again Thank you!
Halloween in the Netherlands is not such a big event as in America, but it is becoming more and more popular these days. So I have no photos about it, but I have on of my granddaughter dressed up as a witch and used that one to try to make a LO about halloween. I had to search for all the elements I wanted to use, luckily there are several picture tubes! I made the frame from a paper with a radial blur and gave the moon a spooky glow (thanks to the lights challenge I know how). The font is Brush King. Perhaps it is a bit early but the Up-To-Date Challenge is coming up and I’m a rather slow scrapper, so here it is.
I had visitors yesterday, one was passing through the yard, while others were flying over. I heard the song by the Moody Blues on the radio, which prompted me to create this page. I framed the handsome buck, extracted the cranes, duplicated the 2 middle ones. I thought the lyrics of this song was appropriate for my mood, and the season that we are in. Winters are long and brutally cold, so flying south with the migratory birds is something I often wish I could do.
Corrie This weeks Discovery Center newsletter has a tutorial for Halloween with a link for Clip Art.
Search Corel Discovery Center and in the web sites search box enter Haunted House Collage this will link to the tutorial and here you can download the sample images (that include the Clip Art) for the tutorial
Each week the newsletter (also covering other Corel products) has tutorials and usually a free-be. If you want to receive it each week there is a link at the bottom of the page to request it.
Here is Adam, the companion piece to Eve. He’s her big brother and we adopted him first. He had languished in a shelter for two years from early kittenhood. Black cats are usually the last to be adopted. 🙁
James, thank you. I know and I already get the newsletter and follow some of the tutorials and download the freebees if I like them. There is also some stuff on YouTube! But nevertheless I had to search for other elements in my LO. Pixelscrappers is a good place to visit too.
Ann, your cats are beautiful! I also have a tuxie…and a tabbyco…tabby and calico mix. They certainly brighten my days…and nights.
I have a lot going on right now and my mojo is dead. I finally finished a layout tonight. I have begun many but have been able to complete only one.
In 2014 I visited South Carolina, my home. While there some of my pickleball friends came to play in a tournament and I took them to dinner at my favorite place, Maurice’s Piggie Park Bar-b-que. The sauce is mustard based and marketed as Carolina Gold. My friends enjoyed their dinner and headed up the road back to Virginia.
I used a template by Connie Prince at Gingerscraps.
OMG Lynda… I love, love what you did with the dingbats. So very cool. Your layout is so very Halloweeny. Who says you need kids to enjoy the holiday, right?
Ann… Enthralled with your little Eve. Our tuxedo passed away at the start of the pandemic. He and I had a love/hate relationship; but I still miss him so much. I think both of the layouts look great. Interesting info on Jellicle cats. Always enjoy learning new things. And fantastic picture. Adam is so very handsome. It’s a shame that black cats are the last to be adopted. That would be my first pick.
Corrie… Awesome layout. Your granddaughter is adorable. You did a great job on the glow on the moon. It really sets the mode.
Sue… Great extraction on the cranes and really liked how you framed the pronghorn.
Bonnie… Judging from your layout I would never have guessed you lost your mojo. It is wonderful. If not to personal can I ask where in SC? I have a son in Hartsville and an uncle in Seneca.Hey, Karon…I was born and raised in Columbia. I haven’t been there in some time and feel the need to visit…of course, I can’t at this time. My high school reunion was cancelled because of Covid or I would have visited Piggie Park then. Their bar-b-que sauce is mustard based and I love it. When I make my own, I make ketchup based and I love that too. I think I just love bar-b-que!…and SC…and Columbia…and the Gamecocks.
Bonnie…. I use both when making my own; but I’ve gotten lazy and know just buy the bottled. 😉

This was a quick, fun, easy page. I enjoy creating word art, and the split frame is always a fun effect. I slipped a ribbon in between the split frame, in order to do that I had to use the selection tool, another tool I have fun using.
So many inspirational pages posted, each and every one beautifully executed. It’s always a pleasure to sit with a cup of tea and scroll through the posts on this site. Thank you Lynda, and Karon for your very kind comments on my pages, it’s very much appreciated, and means a great deal to me.
Sue… Nice cutout effects. Love the idea. And the split frame with the circle word is awesome.
Thank you so much Karon. You are always so kind with your comments. I hope some of my pages inspire you.
