As usual, this was made for my gaming group. The font is Love Struck which I got in a free valentines bundle from Font Bundles. The heart is a preset shape. I duplicated and resized each heart by 110% moving the new layer down each time. Filled each one with a rainbow gradient set on a circle (sunburst) with 6 repeats and increased the angle by five for each one and added a small drop shadow. It took me a long time to find the %ages and angles that were good for this image. The background consists of several layers at different opacities.

Wow, everyone’s been so busy already this month! Love them all. Minka, I was really touched by your story. <3

Fabulous layout, Ann. I haven’t been on the new bridge yet, but I have armchair traveling down to a T!

[Michele]

Love it, Annie. I like how you pulled the colors from the bird’s crown to decorate your page.

Annie Tobin, I received an email notification with your lovely words, but I don’t see your post here. Thanks so much.

Perfect Michele … my eyes were immediately drawn to the subject which was definitely not overpowered.  Love it my friend.  😉

Thanks, Ann. 🙂

I thought the members of my gaming group were going to hate this, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I never know with them; that’s one reason I’m always trying different styles. Usually, it just takes on a life of its own every day. I took the original fashion illustration by Sunny Gu and there were lots of selections, borders, duplicating, and resizing. I was very happy with the flower pattern I managed to extract from the original; I’m not usually that lucky. Used a simple font called Coverface SE as everything else was so busy.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

Sue, fabulous cards. And I agree with you; there are too many wonderful projects here to mention each. I’m just very impressed with everyone, especially our new members.

[Michele]

Thanks so much for all the wonderful feedback. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it; my confidence can always use a boost.

The “boo-boo” was that I left one of the layers hidden on the second row of text. I have a habit of keeping all my layers until I’m sure I’ve gotten the effect I’m looking for. With all the hiding and unhiding, I guess I missed it. Lucky for me, you can’t tell unless you look carefully at a large version. We are our own worst critics, aren’t we?

U = Unexpected … you never know what will happen or who you’ll see.

Some pics I made the last few days for my gaming group. For newer members who don’t know me, the game picks a different theme every day.

Photo Freeze: The girl is a character from the game; the photographer is clipart from PinClipart. I combined two different background papers by Jessica D from Pixel Scrapper. Finally, I used Cassel’s Winter Wonderland master class to create snow and the ice text (I made a little boo-boo on the second line, but it was too late to fix it.) The font is Bauhaus 93 as used in the class.

Sunday Stripes: Fonts used: Tall Stripes and Rasty Lop. The original pic is by one of my favorite illustrators: Malka Favre

Sky Blue Shades: Found the hairstyles on Google. I used the Antique Mosaic effect on the background. Font is Billy Signature.

Hope you enjoy them.

I know I haven’t been commenting or sharing much lately, but I check in almost daily. I always get my smiles. 🙂

This was a page I made for my gaming group recently; the game gives us a different theme every day. Created using KakleiDesigns contribution to January’s A Love For Layouts Hope For the Future Blog Train. The font I used is called Ink Free. The pic is something I found on Pinterest. I love templates when I don’t have a lot of time or when I have no ideas of my own.

You are all just blowing my mind! Great work, everyone.

I made this a long time ago using a template from Cassel (it might have been one of the labs). It’s wasn’t technically a reunion as we got together for my aunt’s birthday. However, many of us hadn’t seen each other for years so I’m calling it a reunion. 🙂

Beautifully done, Annie, my friend.

2, 3, 7, & 8 took a few seconds, but they ultimately worked.

9 & 10…nuttin’, honey

[Michele]

M = Mittens (Don’t laugh at me; some snowmen have arms. lol)

[Michele]

Thanks so much, Karon.

[Michele]

7 & 8 don’t do anything for me.

[Michele]

Numbers 1, 4, 5, & 6 worked for me. I use Win 10 and Chrome. If you need any more info, let me know.

Great papers, Lynda. I really have to get back to the labs.
