Day 5 – I’m posting pics done from the Labs. This one is also Lab 5 – Mod 10 and is Experiment 1 – to use 3 different texts. The sample used 5 different ways to use a computer and so my take was 5 different ways to enjoy music.
Have to say – everyone is posting some great layouts – so many different ways to use the same tuts – we learn so much from your inspiration, Carole, and from each other also.
Yes, Carole – I can’t imagine doing without layers now!
So here is my day 4 layout – Lab 5, Mod 10. Learning about drawing with a string and saving the string as a brush (think I should have used it when making letters instead of trying to draw the stitches on the letters); making a tube (love that and have used it a lot!), crayon drawing as an edge to a paper or ? – saved it as a png and have tried to recolor it several times as that is what I love to do!!. Posted this sometime in 2020 or early 2021?
My 1st 1 for today (and my only one, I think). This was created from Lab 5 Mod. 9: polka dot paper, text paper, eyelet ribbon and how to make a metallic eyelet.
Believe this was the first thing I did when I purchased the Diamond Membership – which I thoroughly enjoy! Thanks Carole for your leadership and help all these years – even though I really only enjoyed all of this since somewhere around the beginning of 2020 or maybe the end of 2019. I had been enjoying PSP Ultimate for several years before that, but had never really understood layering – had been working in restoring pictures (pixel by pixel in some cases!).
Using Text Wrapping With PaintShop Pro, I created this layout. Posted it in What Are You Working on in August 2021. Today though, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the instructions for “Puffy Paint”. Thanks, Carole, for the help – the new alphabet was much improved from the last attempt.
Cindy Harris – also praying for your grandchild – for some reason it is hitting the children this go round. Sorry for the loss of your granddad, aunt, uncle and cousin. Glad you are with us.
Not sure if this answers the rules, but Love Challenge was a great learning experience for me. This is the result of Day 2 of the Love Challenge in 2020. I learned how to make a plaid background from a picture, masking, adding a white layer under the background and lowering the opacity, using framing techniques on the background, using an element from the template. Probably utilizing other things I had learned from the basic scrap course also.
Bonnie – I like it! I always like fireworks – didn’t get to see any this year. So, I’ll enjoy your LO!!!!!
OK – love the colors in this palette and as I’m quarentined again, maybe in these last August days I will try my hand. Annie – always love your stuff – the Wombat layout is great.
Minka – glad to see you post again and that picture and layout is very romantic – love it.
Corrie – beautiful with the lucious blackberry – love berries – raspberry is my favorite (to eat) – loved my time in the UP when we would go berry picking in the summer and then come home and eat them with homemade ice cream! Yummy!
Ann – always like what you do.
Sorry, Sue – mea culpa!
I did finish America the Beautiful and it doesn’t look like the above. Changed the background to a pic that Laurie took on our trip to the northwest of Pike’s Peak. Chose that because that is where Bates had her inspiration. The title font is Brush Script MT, 72 and the narrative script is Arial Rounded MT Bold, 18. The paper was from Cassel’s Fire and Ice kit. The outline of the USA is from NicePng.
I saw the challenges Annie had with the outline of Australia and text wrapping and with Ann on the butterfly outline. I just experimented with using an outline of the USA and text wrapping – since there are several points in the outline that would be problematic in text wrapping. Going to the tutorial, I tried Carole’s removal of the objectionable areas of the outline that I didn’t want to include as part of the text wrapping. I am just in the process of this LO, but am going to add a screenshot showing the outline and my text and then a resize of the jpg to 600. Hope this helps.
Corrie – Love the cards you did in a hurry. Got me to thinking – I have a freebie mask template that Cassel gave recently and I thought I could use that as a basis for cards horizontal and vertical (since I use both sizes). So thanks for the inspiration.
Your cards are beautiful.
I haven’t been here in a while and just thought I’d drop in and see if anyone had posted recently.
Annie that Mangrove Sunrise is simply stunning. What a wonderful way to showcase that picture.
Michelle, you always amaze me with your showcasing the pic of the day. I see that you have a dark blue paper under the plaid and that you must have “erased” the 2 side frames. How did you cut out the text?
Another “blue” song (?) – Lavender Blue. Children’s song updated in the 60’s. The flower frame was a freebie from Cassel. The hearts tube I created and the flower tube was a PSP tube. The background is one I created. The crown is from NicePng. The church is one from my stash.
Several “blue” songs here and I am adding another one. This one is from 1926 – Blue Skies by Irving Berlin for the show “Betsy”. This was once a favorite song for my mother’s sister.
Lovely work here people.
The background is a picture from Unsplash, Derek Sears with an overlay blend at 73% opacity. There are 3 layers underneath. The blue birds are a png from Nicepng as are the lovers silhouette (resized); the music notes are a picture tube; the heart frame is I think from Cassel originally and which I incorporated into the picture frame folder – it has been resized and recolored.
Started working in the labs again. This is Lab 6, mod 2: created the H, B, and L with stitching (I don’t do that stitching so good); created the starburst paper which is under Lucy; created the flowers; and the string tube. Interesting. The background paper I had created some time ago and the yellow polka dot paper under the starburst I created in the Love Challenge. The doily was in the Fire and Ice Kit by Cassel.
Well, it has been something else completing this Travel Challenge. I used one of the vacation frames from Cassel and changed the wording – that was a challenge – also changed the color which was another challenge. I have all the double pages saved as pspimage – BUT I don’t have pages 19 and 20 saved as a pspimage. Another story. I did manage to save it with using the 2 pages, but of course, not as a pspimage! oh, well!
I finally managed to leave my mark on a wooden plank at the base of the Devils Tower.
I actually enjoyed going through this Travel Challenge and have learned a number of things.
That said – I really have enjoyed looking through all the forums and seeing the amazing things y’all have been doing!
Annie, beautifully done. Yes, that script intrigued me, so like Corrie, I think I will put it on my wish list also.
The script inspired me when I did my page 18. So I think I will post it here. I was running out of ideas for that project and this script inspired me.
Thanks, Sue.
Here is page 18. I have had a day of it! I couldn’t get my magic wand, all of a sudden, to allow me to select the picture and modify it to make the frames – it kept giving me the message that there wasn’t enough memory to complete the command! Well, I spent the day – checking the memory to see if there were problems there; then, since none were found, I uninstalled 2021 and then reinstalled it. Still wouldn’t work. I tried it on my laptop and it wouldn’t work there either. THEN, I looked at the layer palette – I had not merged the group!!!!! Needless to say, it pays to stop and look at what is going on before going ballistic. Anyway, page 18 is now done and the new elements are from PS.
Well, the descriptive lettering which was done in Arial narrow I guess I need to bold, although it is legible.
I think I will post the pictures I put on 2 cards I made – one is a thank you to a friend who gave us some tomatoes and the other is a kind of generic birthday card which I haven’t decided which one of the great grands or grands I will give it to.
Still really enjoying your postings Sue – you are such an inspiration. Is that a mask you are using for the photo of the Eastern King bird?
And so, here is page 17 – the Needles in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Page 16. – Only 4 more to go. Used my new script! The only thing added new was the scatter which is from Marisa Lerin – Pretty Things.
I learned something else with this page: there is a history palette and you can delete history, but you can also save steps as a script. Deleting the history I needed because I keep trying different things sometimes when I am creating the layout for a project (I think that is what was choking my PSP and my computer), but because I now have the steps down pat for creating a rectangle mask from a photo, I am going to try saving it as a script. Fun times with PSP!
Well, either my computer or PSP2021 is getting cantakerous – but I did manage to finish page 15. Made another cluster but decided to use one I had made previously. Ann, thank you for the inspiration on placement of the photos. Used a different background paper for the photos, etc. – one I had created earlier. Everything else is as usual.
