Lyn (#86997), you tweaked the template with circles instead of squares behind the flowers. Amazing how a little tweak makes a card look so different.Thank you 🙂
It took me a while ensuring it was lined up, then I forgot to add the border you had put in the design, and added the outside edge one without a second thought! It was when I posted it I noticed I had forgotten that….I prefer your border, it looks better.At the start of the week I thought I had a free week to get this all done, but it has turned out to be busier than I thought, so not had much time to keep up with this. I want to try and complete it, not sure how much time I will get to do so this week.
Lots of great designs in here
LOL Carole;
(#86885), these cards remind me of a game on the Sesame Street show “One of these things just doesn’t belong” to find the one different image in a set of four.I did not have 4 different colour cupcakes so added the Macaron, I guess I could have added two different Macaron’s and two cupcakes! Did not think of that at the time! lol
Just catching up on lessons, lesson 2 cards
As I have several birthdays over December/January I thought I would do a Birthday Card
Morning all, I’m here
Have a few things on today, and tomorrow, but the rest of he week should be ok for me.Ok
I was replying to the fact she did not understand Import and Database for Filters Unlimted.
Also Just correcting my typos
In the newest versions of PSP, (& Windows 10 or 11), the older plugins there are some that may not work because they were originally written for the old Computers, in code (32bit), and it does not cope well with the new versions of PSP and Windows 10 or 11.
New computers use 64 bit technology, which is why the plugins do not work as well as they require a 32bit version of PSP in order to use the older plugins. (When you purchase a new Version of PSP, it will give you the option to download both 32bit and a 64bit versions of PSP), (Select both). Install your old plugins in the 32bit version of PSP. (If the plugin is not working, first check you have installed it correctly, If not, see plugins information in resources section of Campus).
Here I am referring to the older plugins that have the file extension of .8bf ie PluginName.8bf (Plugins filename which ends with .8bf are the old plugins), and not the plugins that end in .exe
There is a way around this by importing some of them into Filters Unlimited. (Import means to add the plugins into Filters Unlimited) There is an import menu to do this (see attached images).
Some plugins have “Sets” of Filters inside the plugin folder, you will see that here are several files that end in .8bf and some may be in separate subfolders, these plugins provide many different menu options for that filter inside PSP ie Colourize.8bf Reflection.8bf Shape.8bf etc To add these to Filters unlimited you need to create a Database file first.
On the bottom of the Filters Unlimited Menu there is a Database option next to the import button (See attached)
To Create a Database click the Database Button and click NEW, then add a name for the Database; (Using the name of the Set of Filters you wish to add ie GregsFilterFactory. Once the Database has been created it will appear in the Filters Unlimited Folder as GregsFilterFactory.db (See attached)You can then add all the Gregs Filter Factory Plugins to this database folder that you just created, (See images attached);
Click Import and Select the GregsFilterFactory.db to open the folder, then select the plugins you wish to add to the database, ie GregsTools.8bf GregsColourFilter, 8bf Import each one, one at a time till all the Gregs Filters have been added to the database. option and you should see the GregsFilterFactory.Db in the list.Any files listed in the Database can be selected for use in Filters unlimited. To use the ones just added, select the database and look for the one you wish to use ie GregsFilterFactory.db, you will then see all the different menu options for that filter.
Remember that it may not work for all the old Plugins, there are some that will not work at all, ie some of the Mura Meister Plugins do not work.
*Please note; do not add to an existing database unless they are part of that filter, in case it stops working. It is better to create a new one.
Carole, Yes that was created with Kaleidoscope. I did a few tries till I got one I liked and I really love that one. I Love the effect that it is a bit like sun rays radiating out from the centre of the image. The white is the dresses, the peach colour is the arms. With a touch of green from the grass. I love how it turned out.
I’m a bit behind as I have a busy week, but will try and catch up.
This one is one of my sisters and myself having fun in my aunts garden.
All our pretty dresses we wore as kids were made by my mother
We all had matching outfits and on one occasion my mother had the same too!Lesson 1
My nephew (once removed), who has just turned 5 years oldRene; Try re-installing PSP to see if that works. I found I had to do that for mine when it stopped opening up.
I’m here. I am a scrap booker and love using mask. I read Carole’s introduction and saw some interesting new techniques I would like to try with the backgrounds.
( I have a busy week, but looking forward to doing this too)There is an Import button at the bottom of the menu (left side), you can import (old) .8bf plugins into an existing database or one that you created.
Once in the database, select the database button next to the import button, and select the name of the database you wish to use, ie Photos.db, the photos plugins should appear in the filters menu.
Most, not all .8bf plugins work on Filters Unlimited.
You may find some plugins that are already setup for Filters unlimited, these files are .ffx files these can be added directly inside the Filters unlimited Folder, in one of the database Folders. (Database Folders names end in .db)
Below are a few example names of Filters Unlimited Plugin Database Folder and filter Files that can be found in the Filters Unlimited Plugin Folder. You can create your own database for each plugin. Inside these folders you will find the .FFX files these are pre- imported Filters Unlimited plugins. (One folder per plugin, ie all Background plugin files are in Background.db folder).
Example Folders;
AFXFilters.db
ICNETFilters.db
Background.db
Photosfix.db
AndrewsFilters.dbExample plugins (inside database folders)
__Background_ – _Smoke.ffx
__Background_ – _Splash.ffx
__Background_ – _Swirl.ffxI hope that Helps
LynA few layouts I did for some challenges
Something I created from webinar Gradually Speaking
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.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.
Sorry Carole I don’t know what this challenge was?
I believe it was the first one I did in the campus.

MoniqueN it is one of my favourite fonts – Calista. I live in London and love travelling around the City.
Carole- Yes, it I think it may have been the Double Take! Next time I do a challenge I will be sure to write down the name of the challenge and grab the link too. TY
Travel Tale Challenge 15th June 2020
This photo was my journey to the Isle of Wight a great week’s holiday with my family touring the island and visiting all the places of interest.
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 was the Travel Tale Challenge, of a holiday in Gloucester.
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 is another one from this challenge Travel Tale Challenge 15th June 2020
This was a day out with my mother, hubby, daughter and her boyfriend to Leeds Castle. Hubby and I had gone before and as there is so much to see we wanted to go again, this time with family. We had a great day going around the castle, learning about the history of the castle, place the amazing views of the castle and moat, whilst we sat having lunch. It also has a maze, botanic gardens, lake and an aviary of Owls, and falconry displays. Plus a train that runs around the grounds from the entrance to the castle for those families and disabled visitors. A great day out.
This image was also part of the same challenge Travel Tale Challenge 15th June 2020
This one was a holiday with just my mother, and me. We went to Jersey for a week and had a great time exploring the island. We both loved every minute of it as you can see my mother in the “spaceship” in the meercat area! lol And one of her playing the piano! Though on one day she got badly stung on her legs, and we had to find a chemist to get something to ease the sting, but that did not stop us having fun looking at all the historic places of interest around the island and the gorgeous beaches! A great holiday to remember.
Congrats on 10 years of the Campus.
I have not done as many challenges as you all, just a couple. as I am often busy, but when I have the time I love doing challenges. One that I had done was called; Travel Tale Challenge 15th June 2020
I loved doing this challenge as I was able to use photos from my collections that usually just reside unseen on my hard drive and not printed and to turn them into a design that enhances the memory of my holiday with family and friends is brilliant.
This one was a day out on the river, from and to Ipswich UK with family and friends. We had known these friends all our lives from our childhood, as we lived a few doors away until we moved to a new town, and months later they also moved near to us! They are all grown and married now with families of their own, and we still stay in touch, including going to their family weddings and funerals etc. On this trip on of the brothers brought his best friend along for the trip……much to the surprise of my hubby……he was one of his best mates in primary school!!! The first time they had met since school!!All except 9 & 10 worked for me.
You can add the website to your white list. I tried to add the instructions for that here, but it does not allow me to do so.
(message me on Facebook for instructions).
