      Thanks, Bertha! I contemplating creating a hard copy “font book” for myself. Just so I can see available fonts at a glance in a hurry. Your idea with word is great!

        Is there any way to make the font examples in the font dropdown menu bigger? I work on a laptop and the font examples are too little to see what the font really looks like without actually selecting it and applying it to the image.

        Thanks! -Laurie

          I finished my design for Model 2. I didn’t have an alphabet that would work, so I used one of the fonts instead. This is my favorite picture of me as a little girl standing in front of my grandmother’s house.

              Ok, now I feel silly! I checked it and those dots slid just fine. I don’t use a mouse as me sometimes the finger pad gets a little finicky on my laptop. Sorry.

                I clicked on brightness/contrast. The scrolled son to levels and clicker there. I dont have sliding triangles on the line at the bottom. I will do a screen shot on my computer.

                  Here is my Design from the Basic Scrap course and how I tweaked it a little in a second design. In the original, I loved the layout, but the colors of the kit were so different than the colors in my images. in the second design, I changed the color of the letters and some of the stripe to reflect more of the colors in my photos.  Are there any other simple changes that would possibly tweak the background paper color to a different hue?

                    Lynda and Minka, Thanks! It was fun to create.

                      I am working on the first lesson in Basic Scrap Course. I applied what I learned in the first lesson of the Basic Course, and what I learned in the Love Challenge to create this image. My paper and WordArt were downloaded from Pixel scrapper. We love going to the beach! I think we have gone almost every year since of grandkids were really little. Now the oldest is almost 17!

                        Here is my completed module 1. I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the Levels in Brightness and Contrast. I don’t seem to have sliding triangles,  just black dots on a line, and then three boxes with numbers below that. I am using PSP 2020. I completed another one using a different paper that I will upload the Showcase.

                          I love being outdoors in nature, and just being in nature heals my soul. I love seeing all of the wonderful things that God has made. I down-loaded the quote and background paper from Pixel Scrapper.

                            It would have helped if I had really read the whole email before asking my question. Here is my workspace.

                              How do you do a screenshot on a laptop??

                                Day 7- I enjoyed learning another new way to create a mask and background paper. I struggled with creating a custom color font. I never figured it out. So, I went with white. I thought it would add more balance to my image if I could stroke the outside of my scalloped photo with white. But, I don’t know how to do that either. So instead, I create a duplicate image shape, flooded it with white, made it a little bigger, and offset it just a little behind my photo. I have learned a lot during this challenge process, and I have enjoyed seeing everyone’s work.

                                  Day 6- I didn’t know that you could create so many awesome backgrounds with PSP. Thanks, Carole for teaching us.  I wanted to think a little outside of the box with this one about what love is. Relaxing and spending time with others, or even some much needed me-time shows love.

                                    Annie Tobin your swan image pulls together in a really nice overall design. I love how the blue elements add balance, and the poem is very sweet. I also love  the richness of the green color.

                                          Minka this is strikingly beautiful! I love the color overlay on the face and the big star. It’s one of my favorites!

                                            Whoot! I finished two challenges in one day! This is a picture of two of my grandkids (my granddaughters) having fun together. I love them bunches, and the girls have always been good friends.

                                              Day 4- It was fun to create my own mask. The projects always take me a while because I have so much to learn about the whole program. Carole thank you for the extra tutorial on how to install brushes. It was very helpful because I did not have a clue! I look forward to taking the basic scrapbook class.  P.S.- On my Day 3 challenge the words were actually written on the plate by our server at the restaurant. I just had to take a picture, because it was so beautifully done!

                                                  Using masks has become easier now! Thanks Cassel! Creating a kaleidoscope background was interesting and fun. I created the project two different ways.

                                                        I really struggled with Day 2. My plaid turned out really tiny. I couldn’t figure out how to make it bigger. I also struggled with the text on this one and also with moving raster layers. But, I learned a lot.
