        Oh, This is so exciting!! I love sharing, but usually don’t know who to share with. 🙂  I have so many things I’ve created using the tutorials and classes here. I can’t wait to get a few on here.

        Thank you, Sheila for the really cute tags. That script looks awesome! I’m sure I can use those, so thanks again!! 🙂

        So, here are all the files I created and used to make a Mittens .png for the Calendar Challenge here. This is the picture of it, and it is included in the zip for download here as well.  Also, everything I’ve made is using Paint Shop Pro X9. I do have an old version of Jasc version 8 on my computer, and X7 too. I don’t know how these files would work in them though… I didn’t try them in those versions.

        The clothes pin was created using Cassel’s tutorial here:

        Clothespin

        The knit texture was created by me, using a scan of a sweater I have and creating a seamless texture in PSP after playing with the “pattern” effect. The other knit texture was just used as a fill for the top of the mitten, but in the end I found a fuzzy look was best. However, the second knit texture was created using a tutorial for a tube, then to create a tile. The tutorial is here:
        https://www.doodlesbyladyfox.com/KnitTube/Knit%20Tube.htm

        The Band of the mitten was made using a brush I created from a snowflake vector. I have included the brush and the preset for the variance settings.

        The “clothes line” is made from a natural rope tube available in Cassel’s store, here:
        https://creationcassel.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=444#.WFD1dmwtZ9A

        Finally, the entire mitten is saved as a pspimage (Paint Shop Pro X9) in the original layers used to create the final .png file.

        I hope someone will be able to use all the files somehow, in their scrapbook creations.

        Here’s a pic of the png and the download ZIP IS HERE.

          Here’s the Day 3 page. This is a 1975 photo of my mom who passed in March this year. I think I just might get this done by the new year. (hehe)  Loving every minute of this, and everyone is just so inspirational. Lots of great ideas here. Thanks everyone. And, thank you, Cassel!! This is a wonderful challenge and you’ve been so generous with the fabulous templates and quick pages!

            I am absolutely in love with all the pages you are all showing!! They are all fabulous! This has been really fun. I have my Day 2 Calendar done… very slow at this, trying to think of the elements to use. I guess I’ll get better as I collect more and more that I’ve created along the way. Thanks, Cassel for these great templates and quick pages. I should just use them as they are all beautiful! I’ll still use them in a separate calendar too. 🙂  (Just realized I put 2016 on this page, instead of 2017… Glad I saved the copy in layers so I can fix it now. haha)

              Hi Everyone!
              Here is my Day 1 calendar page. I was already working on fun things learned in Lab 5-Module 9, so a lot of this is created from that class, and some other tutorials on the internet. I know it is really busy, but it was fun to use some of the things I’ve created. I found myself trying to find a picture to relate to the layout, rather than the other way around, so I just took a pic of the wreath on my front door. I also am not certain which Month this will be for, so I left it off for now. I really need to work on the shadowing… any other CC you have would be wonderful!! I need all the help and direction I can get. I’m also not sure if it is normal for the resizing of the image for posting here to be so distorted, going from 3600 pixels to 600, or if there is certain method I should use to avoid it looking so crappy when uploaded?

              All of the other pages posted above are really fabulous! What a creative bunch, also sooo inspirational. I’ll try to catch up a little quicker with the other pages…

              Cassel, thank you for all the work you put into this. I don’t know if you created the quick pages, but they are really amazing, and I think I’ll make another calendar out of those as well.

              BTW, have I mentioned that I LOVE working with, and creating vectors and Preset Shapes?? I’m hooked!

                Hello everyone.

                My name is Paige and I’m from Utah, USA. I have been using PSP since around the year 2000, when it was still Jasc. I only used it to play with and print name tags and award certificates for a project where I was employed way back then. In about 2004 I became interested in Poser and DAZ. I’m not much of an artist and certainly cannot draw or paint, so the digital world was fascinating to me. I quickly became hooked on texturing the 3D models and trying to find the most realistic ways to create the skins for “human” models. I also loved texturing the clothes in the most realistic way I could. It was always very difficult to find tutorials or help using PSP for those things, but I endured. 🙂 I wanted to switch to the BIGGER program, but I’ve just always loved PSP and was more familiar with its abilities and functions (or so I thought). A few years later I lost interest in all of it. My kids were in high school and needed me for all kinds of things and I didn’t have much time to give to it anymore. I’ve been gone from the digital arts for about 9 years

                Fast forward to 2015. I missed a few upgrades of PSP, but have caught up with X7, X8, and just recently purchased X9. I fell soooo behind in all the software for Poser and DAZ. I’ve become fond of the scrapbook world, although I’ve never been a scrapbooker. I found Cassell’s store and got SO excited with all those scripts. I’ve bought quite a few. 🙂  That’s how I found the Scrapbook Campus. After watching a couple of the intro tutorials, I was hooked. I got my membership recently and am so excited about all the information here. I thought I was pretty well versed in PSP, but boy was I wrong. I’ve followed along with the tutorials and am amazed how much I really didn’t think about in using PSP. I’m still wanting to get back into the 3D texturing, but the scrapbook thing is also very interesting. Catching up on everything is slow, but coming along. So, here I am. 🙂

                I’ve attached the first and only scrapbook page I’ve ever done (so far), which was a couple weeks ago. I used a couple of Cassell’s scripts to make some of it, but am now working on how to do the same things myself, without a script. It has been so much fun! Can’t wait to get deeper into all the PSP things and learning as much as I can. The Scrapbook Campus is awesome!
