I’m in too! I got a lot out of the Love Story workshop last year but need a refresher. Glad to see everyone here!! 😀
Quick Page Extra 02
Quick Page #02 – My family is Ready for Mardi Gras! My daughter, Debbie and her granddaughter, Magic, are draped in Mardi Gras beads for this photo from Northern California. New Orleans was the home of Deb’s husband, Lucky, and for many years they lived there. This is a reprise of a previous Quick Page for me, but I felt the design worked for the excess that Mardi Gras is famous for! The headline font is Horror, and I used a black stroke to emphasize it. I found the Mardi Gras beads on NicePNG, the brad I already had.

Yep, I have one, too, Trish. LOL
Quick Page Workshop: Extra #1 – I located a photo of one of my local birds that I feed here. The House Finch has a drab name for a colorful bird. I call him my Red-headed Finch! I got the information from the Audubon Field Guide. The headline font is Foglihten No.07.
I got an offer to upgrade my Filter Forge to version 11 so I played a bit. Here is a Red-shouldered Hawk inside an oval frame using the new PSP frame tool and it also has FF’s snow overlay with a tree from my stash. The information is from Audubon.
Lynda: Very nice! Everything flows together. Not very familiar with him, though I’ve heard of him, I now see he’s very attractive! 😉
Trish: I apologize if I sound “picky” with any of my suggestions. I shouldn’t be such a perfectionist about anyone else’s work but my own. I’m sorry. Thank you for the info on the spoon. I always like to read about traditions new to me. I do hope you get some relief for the pain you are enduring. That would stress me, also.
Trish: Don’t worry. It’s just a little inconsistency with your usually precise work. I’m learning a lot from your designs. Keep them coming!
Trish: Is there a “spoons challenge?” I don’t get the reference to “spoons” for a honeymoon. Help! 😉
Trish: That’s very beautiful! The only thing I’m not sure of is the lower left flowers being under the frame. Looks unnatural to me.
Hi Carole – I just signed up for QPs and I also revised my Diamond Membership plan. As per your suggestions above I’d love to see additional and exclusive Quick Pages. I had also noted there were masks included last time which I thought was a GREAT idea! Your email had said there were bonuses for Diamond members so that is my wish list. Thanks.
Mary: Thank you for your kind words. I saw that tribute, too, and Betty was, indeed, a very special lady.
I tried something new — PSP’s new Frame Tool. I used it to create the ovals and to encase the sheet music. Unfortunately, in adding other elements, the frames vanished, acting more like masks. They were very touchy to work with and wouldn’t let me add the flower elements, so I flattened the design, saved it as a .jpg, and went from there! Here’s BETTY! 🙂
Edit: With this small version you may not be able to read the upper-right cartoon: “It says so much about your life and legacy if people think you died too soon at 99.”
Pirkko: Your layouts are very beautiful! I study them for design tips. It must be my Finnish grandfather’s genes that are stimulated! 😀
Here is my Alphabet Album – Letter C. Still continuing my books project. Monogram font is CAT-Altgotisch. The font for the quote is Corbel.
My granddaughter, Jackie, and her husband, Corey visited San Diego, California, on their honeymoon in June 2021. Jackie is a zookeeper and had longed to visit San Diego’s famed zoo so that was a big part of their honeymoon trip. I had a few photos and I supplemented with some from the hotel website. I ended up with a pair of matching pages; one for the zoo and one for the Mariott Marquis resort. I ended up using one photo for the background on the left hand page, without the mask. I couldn’t resist the color of the penguin pool!
Susan: The only time I have to print lighter is if I have skin tones in my design. Otherwise, I don’t see a problem. I had to fiddle with this one to get the skin tones looking normal.
CONTINUING my work with templates — I happened to have a photo that fit nicely with this wintery frame template. I brightened the photo, added a shadow to the curved frame and added a little text. I also resized the template to fit my desktop printer, so it came out 11 x 8.5 inches using landscape format or 3300 x 2550 in pixels.
I’ll start February off with my desktop calendar, using a Campus template and photos from a calendar I got for Christmas but which proved to be too small for my office wall, so I pulled it apart and used the photos in the 2022 template. This month worked well for celebrating the Chinese New Year – Year of the Tiger!
Susan, here’s a screen shot of mine. First you make a selection and then touch the button marked, before doing Select Selection Borders.
The Corrie/Ann team reporting. Here’s half our entry, the one I made with Corrie’s photos. I did a little research on the internet about the museum. Corrie will be delayed as she had unexpected visitors.
I had some text to add. Here’s the info in English. I posted a version in Dutch for Corrie: “The Netherlands Open Air Museum in Arnhem features eighty historic houses, farms and windmills. The museum has been designed to create a highly realistic impression of daily life for the average Dutchman over the past few centuries.”
Cristina: Please send along my love and swift healing wishes to Annie. Oh, how I miss her in these rooms. Tell her I’m going to meet with my eye surgeon this week in prep for the removal of my cataracts so I’m acutely in her corner!
It would be a first for me, also. The hard part is finding photos, but I’ll give it a go.
I started on the Basic Scrap Course early in January but sidelined it for the Bootcamp. I already did a tribute to Betty White for the first project so here’s my great-grand Logan who is celebrating his first birthday on Feb 6 for the second project.
