This is my third Bootcamp and I got the e-mail early this morning so I have gone back and played with it several times. I like my really full sandwich on toast and it had so much stuff in it I had to put toothpicks in it to keep it together. The tablecloth and the flower are from creative fabrica. I wanted something cold so I have a glass of milk instead of a cup of something. My first bootcamp sandwich and table were pretty much just like the tutorial suggested.
This has nothing to do with any particular class or anything. I had used this picture I took a few years ago and had put a moon in the hammock and thought I would see what I could do with putting the Big 10 logo in it. I did a screenshot of the logo and went from there.
I have really enjoyed seeing the different projects here. I have been wanting to try the snow globe from PaintShop Christmas 4 and this is what I came up with. It did take quite a while because I had not done some of the steps before, but it was worth it. I saved it as a pspimage so I can go back and add whatever else I want into my ornament.
It has been interesting seeing so many projects by a lot of people. I really enjoy looking at all of them.
Here is one of the pages I made for the Magazine Challenge. One thing I learned from this page was that something as simple as rotating the template can make a lot of difference.
Here is a page I created for Love Story Challenge 2021 – Day 2. This was the first time I learned how to create a plaid using the colors from a photo.
Cassel – Thanks for the suggestion. This waterfall was way far away down in the Waimea Canyon on Maui so I had my camera set at max zoom. It was also in the shade. I wanted to use it because of it’s location and this is the best I could get it to look and I did a number of things to it some I kept and some I didn’t like the looks of. I did go back and tried a couple more things and got it to look a little better.
Fiona Thanks for the comment. I can almost smell that fresh lavender. As far as changing the color of the frame I assume you just mean the narrow line of the frame. I just use the color changer tool. Just select the frame layer and activate the color changer tool selecting the color you want. Then click on the frame on the page. It should change the color for this kind of frame. There may be a better way, but it works for me.
Cassel = Thanks to answering my question. If I want to try for two pics again I will give them short names. Thanks also for the other info.
EVERYONE ELSE – I can’t believe all the wonderful pages everyone has posted. Some of your adaptions have given me some ideas for future projects and Cassel’s suggestions to some of the problems has been a lot of help too. What a fun, interesting, and informative project this has been.I rotated the mask and eliminated the lower right section and part of the one next to it because it was just more grey rock. I then used that area for the story rectangle that I filed with white. I used the sunrise picture as my background and duplicated it and sent it to the back. I then moved that back part down to use for the bottom part of my background. I was luck it blended in O k or I would have had to do something else. We got lucky and had a beautiful sunrise and day which is not always the case. They don’t tell you that when you are booking the tour. “Isn’t every day in Hawaii supposed to be perfect?” The tour van picked us up at 2:30 AM but I am glad I didn’t try to do that drive myself because of the winding road up to the top in the dark.
Here is day 5. For some reason I couldn’t bet my little pea brain to figure out what I was doing wrong when I tried the way Cassel showed us to split that mask to use tow pictures. (I will try it again sometime) I finally had a brain storm and just added the two pictures I wanted in the right spot under the mask layer. and went to the mask layer, made a narrow rectangle in the middle where I wanted the break to be and flood filled it with the black. It worked at least for this simple layout. I used one of the greens from the background for the lighter part of the text. I have not been using the same font every time like what was suggested because I couldn’t remember what one I had used on one and two.
General question. How do I get the two pages to show up next to each other here instead of one below the other? I saved them both on the same page and then cropped it to get to this image.
Here are my day 4 pages.
Magazine challenge day 3-)First off I want to tell Cassel that she and everyone else are welcome to go on that vacation with me provided you can time travel back to when I went.) The background paper is one I created a long time ago. The photo is mine. I did enhance it and the selected the lava rock and made it even darker. I didn’t try the over lapping text, I guess I could have made the lower ones larger and overlapped them but with this background I couldn’t get them to show up like I wanted them to.
I created a Birthday Card for a couple of chat friends on an Osprey live cam I chat on. The background is one I created so long ago, I have no idea how. The wreaths were from Creative Fabrica. I duplicated a couple of them and changed the color. The Cats were from https://clipart-library.com/. Hmmm, I got in a hurry at the end and just now realized I didn’t remove the white around two of the cats. Oh well Birthday girls probably didn’t even notice it.
Magazine challenge day 2. Cassel Putting together the page didn’t take too long after I combined two photos to try to get both of us in a more or less tall picture. Next time I may just use the landscape shaped photos one over the other.
Magazine challenge day 1
Corrie – I like everything about this one, but I love the way it all jumps at you because of the black background.
Gerry – I’m with you on that. When it come to my photos that work is not even in my vocabulary.
Cassel – An Organization Challenge? Hmmmm would we have several years to complete that one?SueThomas — Sweet little Jenny Wren. I had one nesting in my shed a few years back. I had a weed-eater in one corner upside down. She built her nest on the guard that was just the right size for her nest. When I found it she already had two eggs in the nest. I went out and bought a new weed eater because I didn’t have the heart to destroy her nest. She fledged three young and started getting the nest ready for another clutch. I moved the weed eater before she laid the eggs. BTW I really like your frame with the almost transparent edge for the picture to show through.
This is my project for the Song Theme “Colors” It is a song by Duke Ellington called Mood Indigo. It was recorded by several famous singers including Ella Fitzgerald & Frank Sinatra.
I decided to do a song challenge. It may not look like there are shadows, but there are even after adjusting them it is hard to see on the really dark background.
Corrie – What lovely lace.and a well presented page. I haven’t started on it yet, but I have decided to use Tatting as my theme. I tat like heck for a while and then put it away sometime for years in between and have to get out my how to book to remember how to do some of it. It has been a while since I have done any and have been thinking about trying it again to see my my hands will be up to it.
U I have not checked in on the alphabet in a while. How about unbroken (sometime a hard to find treasure)
Like some of the others, I have not done much except the projects for the Bootcamp. I have learned even more this time around. Here is the one from the last challenge. I also included the framed window by itself. The photo is one I took at my Church.
