      This is The Fairy Inkcap mushroom/fungus and I find it quite spectacular! I used Inspiration Template-L mainly because it showcased a large photo. And the strips work with the palette I made from the photo. The title font is Baby Olivia and the journaling is Times New Roman. The Fairy Inkcap information is from first-nature.com/fungi.

        I have this collection of mushroom photos, mostly from my daughter in California, where she “hunts” her own. These are the Coral fungus that she found. I used Inspiring Template-G, and the alphas are called Farm Fresh. The papers came from a kit designed for coffee lovers. I used the clip-to-it script a lot! I took a corner from the photo on the left to create the circular elements on the top left. The journaling font is Times New Roman. The information is from Wikipedia.

          I don’t think there are any nearby but if there were, I would visit. I read that the Cat Cafes were quite successful at getting the cats adopted and that’s always a good thing. I am a cat person who has been saddled with my family’s dogs all my life. The last dogs we had were giant Irish Wolfhounds that my husband wanted but they were way too big for me! Now I am supremely content with just my two cats and one tropical fish.

              I revised a New Year’s graphic from 2 years ago.

              Revised: This is Sunrise in Standfordville by Tracey Rakusan. The font is Bodoni MT Poster Compressed.

              The previous offering turned out to be a sunset.

                Suzy – Your story just reminded me that when  using PSP for Effects, there’s a little die cube on the top right and I punch it to get different effects until I’m either satisfied or give up altogether! LOL It is sort of like pulling on a slot machine! 😀

                    Bonnie! What a wonderful story! I also played with yo-yo’s in my childhood but there were no contests so the incentive wasn’t there. I seem to recall I could “Walk the Dog” but failed at “Around the World.” Your one page layout is perfect. It is a lot of text but very readable. Are those your own accessories or “found” elements? 😉

                      Susan: I LOVE that Moon Seed layout! It captures your comic sensibility with great techniques! I would like to send a copy to daughter Deb in California since her art, lately, focuses on the moon. She’ll love it like I do!! The whole concept reminds me of myself in days of yore when I had to write my first newspaper column for the Wildlife editor. I came up with the concept of starting an “I Love Snakes Anonymous” group…. 😉

                          Wishing all a happy and WARM Christmas! It is presently 2F here in New York’s Hudson Valley, but I am toasty and warm here at home. It’s unusual to lose power here as all our cables are underground. This Christmas graphic is from the Advent series last year and features Lola, my daughter’s Great Dane. She can easily join us for dinner, as you can see. 😉

                            Beautiful work, Susan. Your creations are always outstanding! Have a very Merry Christmas and let’s hope 2023 will bring good things to all of us. I’m feeling at loose ends; unable to focus on any particular project, though I did revise my Warwick Drive-In Closed for the Season announcement, so it reflects the Holiday. I think I’ll make a personal Holiday card as I seem to have accumulated a bunch of Christmas stuff that is calling to me. Last year I did an Advent project but didn’t start one this year so I’m now at the end of my rope!

                              Mary, I had the one with the 2022 date in my Dec 2022 folder but forgot it was a freebie from Carole. I finally figured out it is a companion to the Word Album script. It is actually to make booklets to print, etc.

                                I have a small announcement. My granddaughter, Ilana, sent me a message that they are having another BOY in June. Logan will have a baby brother!  I’ve revised the card I made last month.

                                    Julie: Your introduction to your artist and your handsome design really highlight her work. I never heard of her before so thank you for the enlightenment. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

                                        Michele: I like the green one! He does look sort of depressed so maybe he’s on Sale? Let me know when the price goes under $65!  LOL

                                        PS. Are you sure your other Fab Divas won’t get cold in those dresses without a coat?? 😉

                                          I have a question. There is a December project called cass-Word Album but I don’t know how to handle it. Here’s the preview showing it.

                                              I was poking around on the Discovery Center and found instructions for making an Instagram template (they feature a holiday theme) that I decided to try for our drive-in theater business. We’re currently closed for the winter, so I wanted to advertise that with something new on Instagram. I had fun using their tutorial to incorporate the new Frame tool and Art Media using the Oil Brush. (It helpfully also tells how to do a mask, but I didn’t use that this time; it’s geared towards earlier versions of PSP that don’t have the Frame tool.) I used two snowflake brushes that I had, adding our logo and award ribbon. The snow was created with the Oil Brush. The colors are the same as our commercial website and the Corel offering is here.

                                              PS-I did find one little glitchy thing. When using the Frame tool, which creates a group, I had to hide the actual frame as it added an unwanted line of multiple colors around each photo.

                                                      Wow, where has this thread been hiding? I checked and I’m subscribed but none of these posts made it through on email for me. Susan, those examples are outstanding! We did have the class on blending, but I could use more. Perhaps a week, like the Love Story class, with increasingly complex tasks?

                                                        Susan: Nice! It’s great to finally know what you actually look like — since you’ve never put anything up for your profile pic. 😉

                                                          Here’s my entry for the December Random Challenge using the Corel freebie template – My Favorite Gifts. The font was part of the layout, so I don’t know the name. I’m including Carole’s color wheel. The family photo is from the year 2000 showcasing us and our nine grands. I added several overlays to its plain background.

                                                            I came up with this for the Complementary Palette Challenge using the Corel freebie template – My Favorite Gifts.

                                                                I wanted to thank Trish for these wonderful glitter balls. Here’s my design idea.
