My contribution for the “hunt”. Doing the bootcamp of this month there was a free kit available from Krisandlarry-justmeindenim. I used it for the backgrounds and label. The frame is made with the miteredcorner script and a threaded ribbon, recolored to match the papers. Torn element comes from my stash and the text is filled with stars and a gem and the font is Bauhaus 93. The fonts for the wordart are Beauty, Bilderberg and Bauhaus with stars from my stash.
Annie, thank you so much and glad to see you are back, I missed you for a couple of days, hope everything is oké. Your last one is stunning!
Susan, thank you. There is a simple manner to change a color by using the colorchanger which is hidden under the flood fill tool. With your dropper you can pick a color from your photo of from whatever you like on your project and then apply it. It is not always giving a good result, depending on the original color of that paper or element but it keeps the texture if there is any. There are more ways to do this, but this is simple and quick. Of course you can then adjust further with the opacity if needed.
This is my last project #5 for this bootcamp. I struggled a bit to make it work until – after a night’s sleep – I thought of making hexagonal papers instead of the squares! Sometimes it helps to lay it aside and do something completely different for a while (be it sleeping). The papers are from a kit Summerlove fromPixelscrapper but I changed the colors to my liking. The honeycomb, paintsplash, seedscatter, 2 bigger bees and the clip are also found on Pixelscrapper. The other bees are an overlay from InlyDeals that I got for rating someting that I bought overthere a while ago.
It hasn’t been a waist of time doing the bootcamp again and I have certainly found that I had forgotten some details. Such as making the title using a paper as a pattern and that you can close a paper after you did CtrlC before pasting it on the project.
I have enjoyed seeing all the different layouts that have been made and hope I see many of you again in the camps.
Sue, I commented on this card already on Facebook, but I just want to tell you that your thank-you-card for your grandkids is so nice. And it is a very bad thing that causes people not to go and see newborns for over a year now. I haven’t been able to travel to America either and see my grandkids growing up. They are 9 and 11 now and becoming quite some little ladies. After the summer the eldest goes to middle school, they are growing up so fast!
Seemingly nobody including google can find a seashell starting with U and therefor we are stuck!
So, with your permission Carole, I will go for one with V = Venus
Susan, thank you, glad you like my work. As for your question about fonts: Creative Fabrica has freebies on a daily basis. They have fonts and png embellishments and much more, you only have to make an account or login with Facebook.
This is my #4 and this time I used kits from the BlogTrain July 2021 that I collected on Pixelscrapper. The photos were made of a couple of succulents I had in little pots on a table on my patio. It’s a pity they didn’t survive last winter because we had a fairly cold one and I forgot to put them in the shed. That hadn’t been neccessary for many years…. The fonts are Hobo and Rock n Doll script
Hi, I thought I had uploaded my project#3 late yesterday evening but apparently I forgot to press the submit button or my mouse was not on it….. So here it is again. I used a “linoleum” background with an overlay I have in my stash of a watercolor landscape. I got that one as a freebie by Creative Fabrica some time ago. The starshaped flowers are by Chantahlia Design, she haas those in many colors, together with the swirl. Fonts are SketchZone and Muthike and the photos are as always by me.
Hi everyone,
I live in the Netherlands and luckily not in the parts affected by those terrible floodings. The part of our country that has these troubles is only a small part and although all the rivers downstream are swollen the dikes are holding. The problem was only in the hills and valley’s, the rest of the Netherlands are very flat. I believe that most of the Dutch members in the Campus are living in other parts of the country, at least as far as I know.
Thanks for asking,
Good night, Corrie
Hi Joke welcome, I’m from the Netherlands too and there are a number of Dutchie’s in the Campus.
This is my project #2. I didn’t use a specific kit because I never seem to find one that has all the elements or papers that I want for a certain layout. I make them myself or combine from different kits. Fot my background I used a paper from the kit Naturescape (Pixelscrapper) and looked for 2 suitable papers in my stash. The photo is mine, as always and the flower is a freebie from Chantahlia Design. The herbs were in my stash and I think I got them from Creative Fabrica. Font is Ubertas.
Here is my day 3 and the first real scrapbook layout of this bootcamp. What a wonderful pages are made by everyone, to much to comment on individual. Yesterday something came up and I couldn’t finish, but that isn’t a problem we have 2 days for each project.
The background is an abstract pastel one that I found sometime ago on Inky Deals, the paperstrip was by Pixelscrapper. Hearts where in my stash and I colored them to match the colors; the font is Renitha.
Looking forward to the next day.
As it is summer I’m eating at the gardentable and I use a placemat and a napkin too. I alwas have dark bread so I ajusted the sandwich and decided no pickle to day afterall, made myself a cup of coffee and some dessert plus an apple. It turned out to be a festive lunch!
This lunch is an enormous improvement to the first time I did this bootcamp; then I didn’t get a sandwich done at all! At that time I had my PSP in Dutch and it only started to work well for me when I changed the language to English!!!
Enjoy!
I have used the template as is but changed the colors to suit my theme: Vincent van Gogh. He lived for a while in Etten-Leur (Netherlands) where I live and there is a hugh interest in him and accordingly we have some displays in town that commemorate him. The font for his name is beauty. Photos are mine and the sketch is a photo of a copperplate on the church wall.
I have made a lot of pictures of wildflowers this year. Because of the lockdown I had to stay in my own neighbourhood and see what was available. Here is one of them that I plan to use.
The color of my workspace and my background is light grey. I use the layerspalette, the tool options palette and the materials palette; the last one I keep floating. I have no tabbed documents and for better visibility I use bigger icons.
Carole has provided a Cheat Sheet and I cann’t stress the importance of it enough. When my computer died on me a couple of month ago I had to install everything from scratch including a new version of PSP. It was very helpfull I had this sheet printed and could use it to customize my new PC/PSP !
Just a quick LO of a plant in a pot on my patio. It is a Pieris and when it gets new leaves they are a flaming red. After a while when they grow bigger they become green. The plant has flowers too but they are not very spectacular. I made the mask using the circle mask lesson from the Love Story Challenge with 2 different brushes. The font is Austi Bost you wear flowers and the corner brushes are from Carole. The background is the same photo but blurred with a little bit of texture which you cann’t see very well in the resized version.
Minka, love your page and the story! It made me laugh.
Ann, lovely use of an article you read, well done!
Hi, I’ll open the list of participants. This is my second time bootcamp. The first was in March of last year and besides my photos I didn’t have any supplies or knowlegde of scrapbooking at all. I have been wanting to do the bootcamp again for a while but every time there was a reason I couldn’t follow it. Things like having a bonebruise in the hand I use the mouse, husband in hospital, doing the basis studygroup, PC died on me and it took me weeks to install everything back on a new one etc….But now I’m ready (if all goes well) to see what I missed the first time round or what I have forgotten. Welcome to all the new participants (hopefully a lot) and I hope you will enjoy. See you around!
I haven’t got spame either, but will let you know immediately. And thanks for the warning!!!!
Shirley thank you and I love the LO you did for your grandson. Nice to see you again as we haven’t seen you here lately. I hope you are well.
Mary thank you and your Travel Tale is progressing steadily. I hope you do a printed version of it as well. I did that last year from my trip to the States where my daughter and family is living now. An album is way easier to look to without having to start the computer.
Annie thank you so much. It means a lot to me especially because the making of this LO costed me some time before I got what I had in mind. But in the end I got there.
This is my take on seashells. I had a beach paper in my stash but is was a bit flat and boring. I also had a photo of one of our beaches on a nice day in november without the crowds which are there in the summer and I used that photo as an overlay. On that same day my granddaughter collected a lot of seashells and we made photos of them, cleaned and laying to dry; added a frame with a cluster (made from the free frame with this challenge); made a tag hanging on a piece of driftwood standing in the sand. The shells are by Creative Fabrica and the seagulls I found on pngwing.com.
