Carole, that yellow tab on the bottom is actually the bottom on the yellow ribbon. Unfortunately, before I did the shadows on them, I merged them – I guess because it is shorter than the other two, it didn’t get a shadow. I had tried linking them to move them, but it didn’t work for me. So, I knew that if I merged them, I could move them together. I also had tried grouping them so that I could move them – that would have let me move them together. However, I guess I don’t understand how to group elements together. I get grouping for a mask, but not grouping elements together.
Let’s try again.
Ann – I am always impressed by what you do. Yeah – I am into plaids too. Seems like I can never get enough of them, even though I think I have overdone it (almost obsessive).
Last project – Busy Bees. As you can see, I did use a plaid- made using tutorial Plaid paper 1. I chose the colors of the rappelling ropes used by my son and his son and adding white and a greyed green. Chose to save the stripe as a paper as well as the plaid; reduced the opacity on the plaid a little (white underneath as Carole taught us in one of the challenges); the cream paper is one I created and am using a lot here lately; the brown is mine also, as well as the cogwheels which are in the picture tube I created. Now I did use a freebie element: the heart brad holding down the ribbons I created – its from PS -Marisa Lerin. I had fun with the font, but I don’t remember its name, however it was a PSP or Microsoft font. What I learned this time even though it was not in the tutorials, is that you can create a palette with the colors for your project and save it by naming it in the group listing of the materials. Oh, yes, I may have learned it before (and forgotten it), and it was taught in this tutorial (again) is that you can color the individual letters of a test – how cool is that!!! Anyway, this was fun. Thanks, Carole, for encouraging us to enter the Bootcamp more than once.

Pirkko: That is really interesting how you made a picture tube of the marigold flower! Never thought to make one in that fashion! Thanks for sharing.
Colin: Like your busy bees. Interesting how you make the striped paper.
Laurie: Enjoyed your layout. (Miss you)
Cindy: Interesting way to do your title!
Connie: How beautiful to portray “Parentage”
Carole – you were right; I had not completed shadowing the scatter stars. So I am posting it again.
Project 3 is Trike-a-thon. The elements are from NicePng. The pink and blue papers are mine; the glitter is Cass-glitters; the stripe paper is from Gina Jones-Pretty Bird (but colorized by me); the title font is Incised 901 NdIt BT and I used Arial Black for the text on the pink paper.
2nd Project. That effect that is so elusive in my 2021 version, worked today. Anyway, made 2 plaid papers for this layout and went with the blue and grey one. The cream paper is also mine, as well as the beige and pink small papers. All of the elements are from PS-Sheila Reid from her space adventure kit. Not sure of the name of the font, but it is the same one I used for the 1st project. Not as happy with this one. Not sure why not, but I made 2 different pspimages for this LO, and went with this one – the other one concentrated more on the papers and elements than on the photo. Anyway, here it is.
Wow! What a great display of imagination. But that’s what creating is all about, isn’t it!
Brenda – love your layouts. Great display of your artistic talent. I have your mountain painting hanging up in my “room”.
Connie – your crocheted doily is hanging down over the edge of the photo as if hanging off the edge of a table!
Pirkko – I like your display of color and line and a fine photo of a boy and his pet.
I agree with Anne Lamp – everyone’s designs are so good; difficult to comment on each of them.
OK, Carole. I did add the shadows and a frame around the picture. This afternoon I got around to watching the webinar I missed – lifted shadows. It has given me some ideas for a layout I want to play with later on for putting an object in an envelope, lifting the flap, and having the object peep out and putting a slight bulge in the envelope where the bottom of the object will be. Anyway, that tutorial gave me a lot to think of.
Ann Seeber – thanks for the napkin!
Project 1, Day 3 for Scrapbooking. Background paper is from Helpful from Rush Ranch; pink enamel hearts are from PS; confetti is a picture tube; cream paper is from Cass-Fire and Ice; font is Amazone BT. I really tried hard to keep to the tutorial this time. Can’t say I will all the way through, though, but I’ll try.
OK – I do have to comment. Ann Seeber – always love your LO, but where is your napkin? I think you are the one who had a napkin on the table last time. I can’t make the napkin, although I think I tried last time.
Cindy: like your tablecloth – and putting the top bread in transparent does show all the goodies inside.
Pirkko: like your wooden table and the placemat.
Susan: Your linoleum is so clean – I’ll eat with you on the floor. Tomato soup is one of my favorites.
Nadine: Where can I buy that gorgeous plate? Just kidding! Loved it when you showed it in blue also.
Just to show how much of a difference some shadows make.
Love all the different tables and sandwiches. Seems like we all have favorite foodies. Mine was roast beef (altered the original meat slice), went to the NicePng store and got lettuce (romaine), pickle, mayo, tomato sliced, onion sliced, fries; the tablecloth I made while I was obsessing over plaids (love Reflection Effect), but when the effect wouldn’t work, I just pulled the rectangle down for the stripes to begin the making of the plaid. Of course the pink and metal cutlery is just color changing. Lots of fun.
I now have the pictures I will use for the balance of the project.
Hi, everyone. I’m going for my 3rd time. Don’t have a “theme” set of pictures, but I will probably use great grands as subject matter (especially the young ones) or maybe something from nature such as landscapes, flowers, etc. This is an enjoyable time spent with our teacher, Carole.
Meant to say that I have changed my background color to white. Found that I had changed it in a previous version to white and while using it recently, I find that I like it, so I changed my background to white in my current version: PSP 2021 Ultimate. (still not sure of which pictures I will use).
I’m going to post the one I finally finished (about an hour ago). Papers: background is a photo that was blurred; cathedral window I created with one of the Labs; the green and blue papers were from PS but I’m not sure who and I did colorize them; date stamp is from one of the Travel Challenges redone; South Dakota leather stamp was created for the last Travel Challenge, and I used Cass gold chain picture tube.
Carole has asked us to post the first scrapbooking layout we did. So here is my first.
Ann – I tried that in PSP 2021 and it still wouldn’t work. Went back to PSP 2020 and it works fine (today anyway). It has been very off and on again, but I am not going to reinstall again.
I can’t believe it! Pay no attention to what I said about the Effects>Reflection Effects>Rotating Mirror. It is not working again. Can’t understand it. I am using PSP 2021 Ultimate on a Windows 10 (latest upgrade) PC. Restarting my computer doesn’t help and I am NOT going to reinstall PSP again. The result from using this effect makes the best plaid. Does anyone else have this problem?
I, for one, thank you, Carole, for this 10 day opportunity to show what we have learned with you over the past years (for me probably only 1-1/2 yrs.). You are a great teacher – able to bring even complicated techniques down to the beginner level. Your students, also, take the time to share techniques. I’ll share one I learned this past week with the Effects>Reflection effects>Rotating Mirror. When you make a new image from a photo, do the Effects right away – don’t do anything else to that new image – or it won’t work. I reinstalled my PSP at least once trying to make it work on an image I had opened and closed several times before discovering what the problem was. Live and learn.
This LO is created from Lab 6 Module 3: multiple scallops as an edging; create translucent envelope and make a card to go in it; scalloped elipse shape. I did the experiment 2 – make a paper clip and experiment 4 creating circular shapes and brads (which was fun). This LO: Title is Annie Tobin’s alpha which she so generously shared with us, filled it with the plaid paper I created using the prairie picture. The cluster I made for the 2021 Travel Challenge. The cream paper is my own, used masks for the 2 pictures which I took at the rest stop. The small green bow was made from Bow2 Cass script; the bow at top of card is from Gina Jones – Pretty Bird kid.
Gosh – it’s wonderful what you all have posted. The overflowing class I’m going to have to investigate.
All the layouts are beautiful – some I recognize from previous postings on the forums, but as I don’t go up to Facebook very often, some I haven’t seen before.
This is my posting for Day 9 – “From Lab 6 Module 2: create flowers, stitched alpha and a string tube; also Experiment 3 was creating a sunburst paper.
My posting for Day 8 is “Green Acres” My granddaughter, Heather, (now a mom of 4 and a Case Worker at our local hospital) was allowed to drive the tractor by our friend and she came down the hill singing the theme song from Green Acres. This was done from <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Lab 6 Module 1</span>: Cathedral window pattern paper, puffy paint, wood frame; Experiment 1 was song lyrics or title.
Have to say – everything is so inspiring – so many ideas.
A long time ago there was a software that I shared with my granddaughter “Where in the World is Carmen Santiago?” and so I have to ask – Where in the world is Annie Tobin?? I miss you!
Oh, my goodness, Helen! What a shame. Thank goodness no one was hurt. The dog, Luna, is the hero.
Here is my posting for Day 7 – Lab 5 Module 12: cogwheels; arrows, QR code (didn’t do that). Experiment 1: Title on a curve; Experiment 3: color/pattern/texture (plaids); Experiment 4: sketch/template (I used a sketch with some modification. The papers are all mine (the textured cream color and blue color papers don’t show the texture so much at 600), the arrows I shortened the one made in the lab (and I recolored them too); I used one of the cogwheels to make a picture tube which I scattered on the layout. The frames are from the PSP picture frame folder. The masks for the photos where made with brush strokes. Finished this last night and posted it on What Are You Working on in September 2021.
Lovely layouts Anita.
Lab 5 Module 12 (finally): make cogwheels (did all the different shapes but am only using one which I put in a picture tube), make arrows (did the 2 color arrow – long, and cut it for the LO), Experiment 1: title on a curve; Experiment 3: create a plaid paper from the picture. All the papers and elements I created. Unfortunately at 600 pixels it’s hard to see the texture and twirl and star underlay on the yellow paper or the blue paper.
My computer has been flaky today.
So, I’m late on day 6 with posting. This is Fishing Buddies – Lab 5 Module 11: Chevron pattern paper, cutout word, punched our and scalloped border ribbon. This was a lot of fun – definitely not like today!
