Hi Monique, have seen you already on Facebook and now I read that you have your PSP in Dutch. As a Dutchie myself I had the same problem that you are constanly translating. I solved that problem by changing the language of PSP to English! All the tutorials are much easier to follow that way. In your PSP go to:
1. Bestand – Voorkeuren – Taal wisselen
2. Selecteer taal
3. OK
4. Berichtenvenster – Opnieuw opstarten – OK
I found this the eyeopener of the Bootcamp! Good luck
This is the result of my scavenger hunt. At first I had no idea how connect all the requested elements but something came to mind. Then it was really a “hunt” to find all of those elements. The photos are mine and some of the elements I had in my stock, some are freebees from Carole (thank you for your generosity) and some I downloaded from Pixelscrapper. So everything is there!
Hello Angie, a very warm welcome to the Campus. I started a couple of month ago here with a Bootcamp and it saved my days during the lockdown period and now I’m hooked! You don’t have to have an extensive knowledge of computers because this has nothing to do with programming as such. I already used PSP for my photos and found the online tutorials also hard to follow but Carole explanes it so much more simple and now I understand the PSP tutorals much better! Don’t feel intimidated by the work of a lot of members; some make wonderful pages. I use those as an inspiration and idea to make something myself. Everybody is very friendly and helpfull in their comments. Good luck and I hope to see you around.
Thank you Bonnie, and be my guest. Good ideas are there to be followed and I just followed the scraplift outlay! And the shoes came in just as a afterthought because I don’t know yet what to do with those shapes.
Hi Carole, this Scraplift Challenge came at the right time because I wanted to make something for a couple of photos I made during the lockdown period while walking around our neighbourhood. We live on the edge of a village and at first I walked around all the streets and admired a lot of frontgardens but you cannot go making photos of someones garden without asking. Then I walked a bit along some footpaths and little roads and that is where I made these photos. And they are taken within 5 to 30 minutes from my frontdoor! This scraplift page is just right for those photos and I even included a pair of your preshaped shoes. Enjoy!
Hi there, I finally made my “mark”. I had a lot of trouble doing this, Whatever I did it didn’t work, it only gave me something what looked like normally typed. So I started to change some settings, no result. I even was one evening behind my PC with the mouse in one hand and the printed tutorial of day 7 in de other! And I followed all the steps: NOTHING! But yesterday I found the solution: It is in the order with which you must do it. I discovered that I must first activate the flood fill tool and change the Blend mode and the Opacity before I set the other adjustments for the flood fill and the 2 Cutout layers!!!! And now it is working really simple. So Carole I know I could have asked you, but I wanted to solve this myselve, but it has taken me a couple of days. Here is the result and I still love scrapbooking!!!!! Now I have to go and clean up all the mess I made on my computer.
And here is my day 6 with the postcard. I don’t get much done these days because we are also having a heatwave just as Carole has in Canada! But overhere those waves mostly don’t last very long and this one will be ending the coming weekend according the weatherforcast. Anyway creating the postcard was fun, now up to the last day of this challenge. I read that a number of you had problems with that one, so I’ll give it a try.
The text on the postcard is in Dutch, because if I would send such a card it would go to family at home.
My day 5, including the stamp. This page took me, luckely, not so long to make as the last one!!! I have learned so much during this challenge, which I can use on many other projects in a different form. I love all the work from everybody, it certainly keeps us busy.
Here is my day 4 with the tag. It took me a long time to make this page with all the photo’s in it. Luckely I have the “ClipToIt”script otherwise I think I would have given up! But I had so many photo’s of a fabulous day in january with super weather. I use in all my pages for this challenge the same color green for my text, because it is the color of the flagg of Washington State. The title is from the Cass Alpha Maker Sample – The good life, a freebee from Cassel and I changed the color to my green.
Now I can you making my postage stamp.
What a different pages are made from really amazing trips. Here is mine for day 2 and 3 combined. When I was almost ready with day 2 came the poststamp for day 3 and I decided to put those together. I has a long flight from the Netherland to Seattle and I made a photo of the flightpad from the little monitor in front of me. My daughter and the grandkids were welcoming me at the airport but we made no photo’s. After that it was a short drive to their home and that is what you see on the photo’s.
Hello , I have finally completed day 1. At first I had no idea what to do after I had made my silhoutte, but in the end I got there. I made the mistake to do a border on the wrong layer and I intend to rectify that if this challenge is over because I have to make the silhoutte of Washington again. For now this must do.
Z = Zenith, the point in the sky directly overhead. Not directly space-related but it must do because Z is difficult!
Here in the Netherlands we have a nursery rhyme about those hats you can make by folding paper, I think every one knows them. We spend a rainy afternoon folding hats. All the puppets including the barbies got one and of course we got one ourselfs. And I have a photo of it. As I followed the masterclass on templates last sunday I deciced to combine these two things and I came up with this. This time the text is in Dutch; translated in English it would not make sense. But it goes as follows:
one, two, three, four
little hat of, little hat of
one, two, three, four
little hat of paper
Hi there, as soon as I saw this challenge I had to sign up for it! I visited my daughter and her family last january/february and made a lot of photo’s. I came home just in time before all the lockdown measures. I have already made a printed photobook; I always do that right away, but except my husband nobody has seen it so far. Since then I started scrapbooking and I’m lloking forward to making a lot of pages to add to my book. I already did some other challenges and I like them very much and I have learned so much in this relatively short period.
See you soon!
With the theme OUTER SPACE, one thing came immediately to mind: the Spaceneedle in Seattle. I visited there in january of this year. It was a marvellous experience! We had a fantastic view thanks to super weather. So I made this page. I made the background following Carole’s e-mail. And the fonts are Hobo and Alex Brush which some of you mentioned; thanks! The quote obviously is from StarTrek
Terrestrial Planets = the planets whose surfaces are made of solid materials. In our solarsystetm : Mercurius, Venus, Earth and Mars
Here is my last posting for may, I did the Random Challenge Generator and it gave my this:
Photos: 1
Titel and Text: Phrase Strips
Paper Pattern: Gingham
Embellishment: Button
Color Combination: Brown
Michelle I’ll certainly do something with my PTP photo, but that one did not go well with this Challenge.
Hi Annie, love what you did with the photo of Amsterdam.The Prinsengracht isn’t a suburb but it is downtown! Amsterdam has a very old city centre with lots of canals, which we call “grachten”. You can take boottours on them.
I have been busy with a lot of other things and had this evening finally time to catch up on everybody’s work. Amazing things ladies, I enjoyed myself very much.
I used pic-to-painting on this photo and maybe I use it on some project.
5 Things I like to do in my spare time
Hi Carole, You asked in an email if I already did something with the Quick Pages. I made this one, just to practise, but I requested this page because I want to use it later in the year for a family event (corona permiting). Two of the other ones I already used but they are to privat to share here with very privat photo’s and I’m not allowed to post those here. My daughter will be very angry with me if she finds out.
Downpour, sorry we are already by an other letter. The connection is very slow at this moment!
This is my take on the May Theme Challenge – RAIN. The paper with the umbrellas is generously provided by Trish Williams (thanks again) and the alpha and picture tube is by Carole (also thank you). I’m starting to like those picture tubes! Next I’ll try my hand at the scraplift challenge; it certainly keeps me busy!
