Love the stockings, Carole! Like you, I sewed for my kids and my grandkids as my mother did for me. But when I was little, for some reason we never hung stockings at Christmas. I think my husband and I started it when our oldest was 3, and of course, the stockings were homemade but out of felt with cut out decorations. That was 47 years ago and we still have them! The ones you’ve made are like the memories of a quilt where each piece of fabric brings memories of a special dress or outfit. So special! Love them! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you for all your help showing all of us how to scrapbook and save our memories digitally!

This is my current project. Using the watercolor technique, I’m making some pages to use as ‘title pages’ in a video with Corel Video Studio. The video is a collection of clips from my 8th grade grandson’s football games. I took snapshots from the clips to highlight in the title pages. Some I will use the Title 3 workshop skills I learned and some I will just use my pages as backgrounds for animated titles in Video Studio. I just started the pages today, but I think it will work very well. By the way, in this picture, he had played almost the whole game with the temperature at game time hitting 102 degrees! I might add the look of sweat drops around the edges. Does that sound gross?
Day 11, Project 5
I’ve really enjoyed doing the projects for this bootcamp and seeing everyone’s ideas. Thank you, Carole, for all you tips, ideas, and suggestions in all your webinars! I always look forward to them each month.
Day 9. Colby & Riley on the Oregon Coast, 2006.
Day 7, project 3. So sorry. I forgot to resize before uploading.
Getting caught up! Day 5; project 2.
Granddaughter Payton and Grandson Colby at the Oregon Coast, 2004.
I, too, have had out of town family this past week, so I am 100% behind. But here is my first project from Day 3.
Sue, Susan, Suzy – Thank you for the information about the script. Great job on the Subway Art. I’ve always especially loved the camera saying and used it on a motivational poster I made once for my grandson. Great philosophy.
Day 7 – Just for fun. I want to learn and do more with the perspective options. So that’s what this is. Only two actual pictures, just flipped horizontally for effect.
I agree with so many others, that this has been a fun series and I not only learned many new things, I actually got kinda comfortable using them. Thank you, Carole!
Thank you, Carol. I’ve downloaded both the Resizer Script and the Clip To It Script. Can’t wait to play with them!!

I have a question about converting a 3600 x 3600 (12×12) template canvas to a 3300 x 2550 (11×8.5) canvas. Is that possible? Or would it just be easier to recreate from scratch? I started my family album photo books in the 11 x 8.5 – because they fit nicely on a standard bookshelf! But many templates are for the 12 x 12 format. Are there good pros for using the 12 x 12 format over 11 x 8.5? Or is that a carry-over from a hard-copy photo album?
Carol ~ That’s my oldest granddaughter, Payton, who is also in the first project this week, “Howdy, Folks!”. She will be 21 next month and still a photographer’s dream!
I’ve discovered that the most time-consuming part of scrapbooking is making up my mind! Here’s Day 6 #1 project.
Day 5 I didn’t add shadow to the ric rac because I had already accidentally included it with a merge. I thought about going back to the original template and doing a copy paste of the original right over my project . . . but I didn’t . . . but I could have . . . but I didn’t! LOL!! Also, pretty sure this is my first upload of this project. Yesterday, I inadvertently uploaded a project twice. I look forward to each day’s new tutorial, and I know come next Monday morning, I will be having withdrawals without a new template to work on!
Made this for a friend today.
Day 4 Project 2 🙂 I had made frames for my mask templates, but I hadn’t thought about just using a frame without the promoting to a mask layer! I also want to use the script writing tutorial so I can speed up the part about touching up multiple old photos. So much to learn!! Thanks for you help, Carol, and your comments and suggestions.
Day 4 first project. Second one still to do.
Day 3. Two oldest grandsons. Looking forward to Day 4, too!
And two more from yesterday’s class.
Two variations for today.
Here’s the Diamond template. This was fun.
Here’s my first page. Now that I’ve practiced the tools & techniques, I’ll play with the color and texture combinations, maybe using more colors from the photo although these are her favorite colors! This little angel will be 20 in June! How time flies!
I visited your blog yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed your work! Looking forward to your next project postings!
