Love your layout, Bonnie. Those pictures are lovely and you let them speak for the page.
Trish, your Paris grunge page came out great. Still busy making papers, I see.
Thank you for your generosity, Annie, but what I downloaded was too “fuzzy.” The details got lost in the translation. You might just inspire me try try making my own once I’m out of my funk!
Dawn, it’s wonderful to see you here. I agree with Annie; you are a treasure.

Beautifully done, Annie. Is there any chance I could steal it? (No pressure.) It would make a great brush.
I always have my calculator app open. Unfortunately, I think I’ve forgotten more math than I remember. lol~ Michele
I love how everyone is inspired so differently by the same picture. Great creativity, ladies.
~ Michele
It’s wonderful to have you back, Annie. I don’t know what I would do without my laptop. You obviously haven’t lost your touch. Both of your layouts are wonderful.
~ Michele
You’re making me dizzy with all of your work, Trish. You should get the Most Prolific of the Month prize. 🙂 Great stuff
~ Michele
Thanks so much, Cristina. 🙂
Trish, you made a beautiful card.
Sue, Loved your blue jay on FB and love it again here.
~ Michele
Sue, those florals are gorgeous! If the Maskmaker script isn’t already on my Wish List, it’s going on there now.
Thank you, Dawn. It’s nice to be able to share with all of you lovely scrappers.

I = Iguana (You can find marine iguanas only on the Galapagos Islands. They are the only swimming lizards.)
Ooh, those are really pretty, Trish.
RuPaul has been a famous drag queen here in the U.S. for decades. “RuPaul Andre Charles is an American drag queen, actor, model, singer, songwriter, and television personality. Since 2009, he has produced and hosted the reality competition series RuPaul’s Drag Race, for which he has received three Primetime Emmy Awards, in 2016, 2017, and 2018.”

We must have been writing at the same time, Trish, because I didn’t see your birthday card until now. Your parties are always such fun!
I made this today for my gaming group. Inspiration was from the August Pop Art Tut/Tech challenge. RuPaul is a Fabulous Diva; he should join my group. LOL
~ Michele
Did this one for my gaming group today. I thought it worked well with the name of my group. I hope RuPaul doesn’t mind. 🙂

Trish, I love the ballerina pic, too, and you really made it look outstanding. Well done. You certainly used a lot of masks in your second pic to great effect. How many? Love the colors you used.
~ Michele
Carole, thanks for taking a look at my tutorial. I thought the pic was a bit small, but I didn’t know if I could load the separate pics. I edited my original post to delete the small pic and add the pics for the individual steps. I hope they’re more visible.
Trish, your second one looks perfectly aligned; it’s awesome. I think the white borders look good, too. It’s just a different style.
~ Michele
Annie, I love that kitty! Nice work on both your images.
Trish, you did a great job. The colors are awesome and I like that you framed each one. You cracked me up with your reference to Earth Girls Are Easy.
In terms of the alignment issues you had, Trish, since Carole’s tutorial was for four images, you would have to add more guides to accommodate all six of yours. It’s important that you use the same original to produce of your color pics so they are all the same size. I don’t always have luck resizing them once they’re on the same image.
This is an alternate way to do it. Once you determine the size of your original, use Shift D to duplicate it as a new image. Then do your magic. Go back to the original and repeat Shift D and then magic. Repeat until you have all your images. Once you have all of your images done, create a new image the width and length that will work for your project. In your case, you would want to double the width and triple the length of the original pic. What I would do now is copy and past all of your images onto the new blank image. Move them to roughly the position you want. Now comes the aligning. 1) Using the Pick Tool, select the top left image and change both position X and Y to zero. That lines it up exactly to the top and left edges. 2) Now, using the Pick Tool, select the other images on the left. With all three selected choose Objects: Distribute: Space Evenly Vert. 3) With those same images selected choose Objects: Align: Left. 4) Now select the top left image and the top right image and choose Objects: Distribute: Space Evenly Horiz. 5) Then choose Objects: Align: Top. 6) Now select the top right image, then the other images on the right. Choose Objects: Distribute: Space Evenly Vert. 7) Choose Objects: Align: Right. I put together some screen shots that I hope will illustrate what I did since it sounds pretty confusing when reading the steps. Once you’ve done it a few times, you’ll be more comfortable with this method.
Carole, I think this is my first attempt at a tutorial so please look it over and see if I made any mistakes. Thanks so much.

EDIT: I deleted the small pic and added the pics for the individual steps. I hope they’re more visible.
Here’s one from me. I found the original pic on Unsplash a while back; I fell in love with it so I’m happy to finally use it for something. The way I lined them up was to use the object align and distribute commands. I find that to be fairly straightforward if I don’t have too many objects on my page and they’re all the same size. When it gets more complicated, I definitely have to use the snap-to guides. They’re like magic!

I think you’re addicted to this now, Libera, but you’re not alone. When I first did the 2nd tutorial, I couldn’t stop changing everything into Pop Art.
~ Michele
Thank you so much, my friends, for your kind comments on my cards. I can always count on you for a much-needed lift to my spirits.
Sharon, I haven’t done the feather tutorial yet. I love what you did; the bright colors are awesome.
~ Michele
Marlene will be sorely missed. I hate to see our “family” lose one of its lights.
~ Michele
Sorry I’ve been MIA this month, everyone. I’m so inspired by all the projects that have been posted. Great work, all.
August hasn’t been great for me, but I managed to make a few birthday cards. I used a couple of kits and I also tried out Carole’s new flower punches on two of them. Several times I’ve said I love her punches, and these are no exception. They’re beautiful. I plan on having lots of fun with them.
