I intend to print my alphabet and made a cover for it. I used the template for 2021 by Carole but changed the upper 4 squares to a big rectangle to have room for the photo and the text. All the little photos come from the photos inside the alphabet pages. Now it is almost finished for printing, only one detail I want to do. The letter S about the station has photos of the staionsquare where the renovation isn’t finished. It is now almost done and in a couple of weeks when the weather is a bit better I will take new photos and change the old for the new.
I have never been to one, but I know Breda the city close to where I live has one. I have seen some pictures of it in the paper and the internet.
Bonnie your story let me think of my own yoyo and I remember all the girls in my class were doing it. It drove the teachers mad because we also played in the classroom and the corridors whenever we got the chance. In the end the yoyo’s where forbidden on the premises.
I too will be curious to see all the changes and like the idea to give a like or short comment just at the layout someone does and not 10 posts later or so. I hope everything goes well with the transition and with some guidence from you we all will adapt very soon to the new look. So thank you for all the work you put into this for our benefit!
The Z is for “Zwembad” (swimming pool). Since a couple of years my village has a new indoor pool called “de Banakker”. After a poll to choose a name the old name “de Banakker” was kept. I go swimming there every week in a course that originally was for people over 55 years and is now called “aquasports 50 fit”, but has more or less the same exercises and trainers. It is good fun and helps to keep fit and I’m looking forward to going there again as soon as I get the ok from my fysiotherapist. It is a social thing as well because afterwards we have a coffee with a couple of people. During this year when we were doing the alphabet I asked my group if I could take some photos when they were starting the lesson and they kindly agreed. In the changing rooms section there is a very nice mural of an underwater world with fish and turtels.
I used a template and the colors of the photo to make a linoleum background which has a watery look and a plaid with the plaidmaker script.
I have enjoyed making this alphabet and probably will make a front page for it and has it printed. After all it is a kind of time document about the place where I live.
Cindy, I hope for the best for you and your family!
This is one of the X-mas cards I did and with it I wish all my dear friends in the Campus a happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year with many more lovely projects to do and showcase here.
For those who are in the States and Canada and are in the middle of this blizzard: stay safe and let us know how you are coping, at least when you are not out of power. At this same moment most of us here in Europe have high temperatures about 10 Celsius and lots of rain.
Sue thank you, you are spoiling us with all your wonderful designs on Facebook and much more as gifts in the Christmas Calendar!!!
Like you I have finished all my cards, they are in the post or waiting to be send by email on Christmas Eve. So I store them for next year. I probably don’t have time nor feel like creating this week, because a small part of the stitch on my leg has gone open and I had and will have trips to the clinic for treatment. They removed over 1 cm of the stitching thread that hadn’t dissolved. And everything went so well again, after getting over the Corona fatique!
Wishing you a merry Chrstmas and a happy New Year!
As my granddaughters live in the States of course I know about the tradition of stockings, but as Monique says here in the Netherlands it isn’t. Although nowadays you can see them in the shops, but they are mostley just for decoration. However I like the ones you made!
Suzy, that is very easy to do, here are the steps:
– Open PSP and paste the complete image you showed above
– In the Materials there is a +, click on it
– It opens a pop up menu called Add to Palette, click on New, New Palette and give that the name you want to use
– Click oké and you see the name you choose in the dropdown list
– From here on you can import you colors in your own palette.
Btw Be sure you choose a name for your palette that doesn’t already exists!
Good luck
I like the idea of “Collections” that is something we probably all have. Of course I like flowers, but I think it has to be something that is doable for most of us and not everyone has English as his or hers mothertongue!
Because I have finished all my cards and calendars and it is really cold and frosty overhere I used the monthly free template from IWAS (International WordArt Studio) and combined it with the kit Wintermorning by DB Magnolia. On the blue paper I have and overlay with snow but reduced the opacity, I didn’t want to overdo it with those snowflakes but in this reduced verdion it is hard to see.
No I haven’t been to one, we were never with enough people that would like to go. There isn’t one in my village but the town next to us has a couple. I think it could be fun if you go to one that has all kinds of clues everywhere.
Anne your Foxy looks lovely with his hat and you were quick with those freebies, I just see them now.
Sue a great idea to color the cornerbrushes. I’ll keep that in mind. My cards for this year are done, so next year or any other suitable cornebrush for other projects!!!
I’m also going for orange and blue! A couple of weeks ago the sun went down with a fantastic spectacle of orange colors and I was just in time to take a few photos from our upstairs window before the colors faded. It only lasted for a few minutes! I used my photo for the background with a blur and a duplicate with a mask to let the colors pop, made a frame with a radial blur script I once found somewhere and the font is JT Fire One from Creative Fabrica which I have for some time and this is the opportunity to use it.
Nowadays you can see many shops that have an English name with an Y in it. Sometimes they are international brands but most of the time it is considered to be “in” or modern to switch to English instead of Dutch. Even people have changed their name as for instance my name Corrie to Corry or Nettie to Netty, Connie to Conny, Bettie to Betty and so on. I have never done so because my name is Corrie whatever the trend may be!
For this layout I took photos in the shopping area and within a couple of minutes I had all the Y’s I wanted; I didn’t even use all of them. I didn’t want all those shopphotos as they are, but made stripes with the parts that have the Y in it. The background is a photo of a part of the shopping area. I deviated from the font I used on all the other titles because the Y was not very distinct, so this one is Western with Audiga script (as in all the other pages) and Arial for the text. The Dutch text is about the same as in the explanation above. It took me some time to come up with this idea for the Y as in Dutch there are not many Y’s. In the dictionary there is only 1 page about it and that consists mainly of words from other languages. For instance Yankee, Yard, Yoga, Yucca.
