Thank you for the answers, Cindy and Cassel. My sister had asked me about using my wildlife pictures as digital puzzles on a website. She is a director for an assisted living center and thought the digital puzzles could be used on the iPads they have for the residents If I make them simple.

I have a question, and I looked through the forum for the correct place to post. I will start here because I loved the fun of the puzzle!
If I purchase a PSP puzzle script, will I be able to use/post the puzzles I create on my blog? Will the puzzle procedure work on a webpage?
Please redirect me if there is another area I should ask this question.

HALLELUJAH! The email with the jpeg was sent!
This treasure hunt was fun and sometimes frustrating, due to my internet lagging and responding slowly. I learned that if I tried to use the search feature for keywords, I would receive the dreaded ****Forbidden**** LOL
I have learned many unfamiliar terms, tricks, and ways to enjoy digital scrapbooking and expand my knowledge of PSP.
Thank you, Carole!
Diane
Carole, This is fun!
I am still hunting for four pieces….ARGhhhh!
I’m going back to the clues again!

(maybe I need more coffee)
I found four! This is fun because I find myself reading blog pages I had not read before. I am learning so much. Thank you for the information I have not found previously!
Gerry,
Best thoughts and wishes to you during this stage with your mom. I understand how hard this path is to walk but these days are precious. Have you recorded some of her stories as she tells them? I would record my mom as she would tell of her memories but wish I had recorded more.
Diane
Julie,
I smiled as I read your story about getting into your aunt’s lipstick. I can imagine how fun and then shocking it would have been!
Diane
Rene,
I understand your fear of The Wizard of Oz! The fear and excitement of watching the Wizard of Oz was an annual movie night in our home. Mom said it was the first movie she ever watched, so it became our fun once-a-year fear fest!

The theme of our workshop today helped me remember some friendships from school. I wrote about a friend from my elementary school days, maybe in grade three. It is sad to see a child being laughed at or excluded on the playground at school and I wrote of my memory of Dovie.
I used the complimentary design from the workshop, some free clipart, and ps_commons_melissa-harris_266187_bubbles_pu. It has been fun and I have learned many helpful tools!

Corrie, Best wishes on your recovery after surgery. It can take a while, but the rehabilitation exercises will help the healing. I hated the orthopedic strengthening exercises after my knee replacement, but they really made a difference in my ability to walk and hike again.

Day 6 about childhood fear, I don’t remember being afraid of very much. We lived in a rural community of aunts, uncles, cousins, and family. I knew I would not be able to fit the story on the page. There was one time that was terrifying, though! My mom and dad inherited several acres of land that had a creek with an artesian spring at the very back. They spent about a year building a lovely frame house. It had the most beautiful fireplace and oh how my mom polished those hardwood floors! When I was about five years old during one season it had been raining for several days. My dad woke one night to people banging on our door. When dad jumped from the bed he landed in a foot of water! There was a rescue team from the community there with boats to take us out of the house. I was so terrified!
I used several elements and techniques, especially the kerning, leading, and warp text. ps_commons_dawn-prater_188815_layered-page-template-white-space-3_pu; ps_commons_sonya-stover_241312_memories-and-stories-frame-cluster1_pu; It was a fun workshop for learning to manipulate text!
Whewww! Cassel, those fonts can be persnickety to try and line up with the correct angles! I may be off on a few but I understand the concept. I love to bake cakes, pies, cookies, and make candy. I was surprised that I did not have very good pictures of the desserts I have made for my family each time we gather. Enjoy!
Sports and Activities during my school age days were very awkward. I loved to read, sing, and sew. I do remember each time I had a turn to bat during softball season, I made an OUT. When it would be my time to bat for our team, the opposing team would chant, “Instant Out”, and it was …LOL!
I admire Cassel in sharing her swimming abilities. I never learned to swim. I would sink and choke each time.
Everyone, keep telling these precious stories because they are all a part of our lives!

I love reading all the stories. Some are sad and others are fun.
I wrote about a teen movie night with friends. I cannot believe we did not fear walking downtown at midnight, but those were simpler times in a small town.
I made the heading using the Day 3 challenge, one layer of text,
Beveled, and with shadow; the paper is a jpeg of a fabric swatch, free clipart, and png filesDay 2 challenge was fun and I made several quick pages. I enjoyed learning about lining up papers in a design with anti-alias. I spent too much time remembering being with my sister on some very fun trips. There are years we share and others we can never talk about…LOL, it’s a sister thing!
Thank you to Sharon Grant and Janet Scott for the two graphics I used from Pixel Scrapper!ps_commons_sharon-grant_76652_its-a-girl-thing-quick-page-PS_JanetScott_ML_HrtSwrlDdl4
Greetings Everyone!
I am Diane from Mississippi, USA. I am excited to see and read all the stories!
Wow, I had to edit my story a lot to fit the quick page but it was fun!
Also, I am so happy to learn about shaping the text to fit the design. Thank you for the video, Carole.
Day 11 – Project #5:
**Edited to change the font on the poem.
I enjoyed this project and tried to correct the blur on my paper shadows. I used one of my favorite owl pictures. During a quiet walk along a bayou on the coast, I happened to sense movement above me in one of the large trees. I saw a magnificent great horned owl! It was an unexpected blessing on a somber fall day. Enjoy!
Diane
Cassel,
Thank you so much for your guidance and help. I have learned more than ONE thing in Bootcamp. The rotation of the eraser to make the ‘pinking shears’ effect is brilliant! I must confess the first time I tried it I used the clone brush by mistake with a square brush, but it yielded the same results. I have learned to be more mindful of the shadows, careful with resizing, and I appreciate the free digital kits that have helped make these projects complete.
Oh, there are so many beautiful projects to view among this group of people. I love seeing the photos that are dear to your heart in your projects. I often looked for a ‘like’ or ‘love’ button to show my appreciation of your work. LOL!
About the eagle pictures, I live in central Mississippi, USA and I hike a lot with my cameras. I always look for wildlife and am blessed to have found two different eagle nesting trees within my area. I watch the habits and routes of animals and try to find the most discreet way to watch so I will not interfere or disturb nesting areas.
Have fun everyone,
Diane
Day 9 Project 4:
Late winter through spring is nesting season for the eagles in our area. I enjoy sitting on the side of the road, on top of my truck, and taking photos.
** Thank you, Cassel. I am adding a second attempt with resized photos.
Day 7: This project is fun. I used bits and pieces from various scrapbook kits. Each project I see posted here is so interesting.
I spent my Sunday afternoon thinking about times with my sisters. Before the pandemic, each of us would travel and meet for a sister reunion every year. I miss our reunions.

Day 5 Project: Outdoor Adventures
Thank you to Pixel Scrapper Blog/ The Curio Pantry for the freebies to help in this project.
Hello everyone! I have been reading all the posts and feeling inspired. I have been working with the layers file and I am disappointed with myself. I know I am doing something wrong because my sandwich items are going to the center, but I can not adjust the placement or the sizes of the items. I will add a screenshot of my workspace. Any advice?
I am using PSP 2022. My workspace is dark gray.
I am considering the theme of backyard birds and butterflies. I have plenty of pictures from last summer.
