I will give this a try.

Hi All,  I’m a bit late in getting back to you ladies who commented on my work here (Sheila, Cristina, Micfin, Dawn) and I do so appreciate your encouraging words.  It took me a few minutes to find this page as I kept looking at all the work that has been shared in the last few days.  What an exciting group!  Look forward to everyone’s work as we move through the next few weeks.

The images below show a card I made for my older sister who was born on Halloween. The colors are not as vibrant as in the original; after scanning, I did some color adjustment in PSP which helped but still not what I wanted. I do cards often but this is the first time I used PaintShopPro to do the work. The card base used three different papers, a sign, cake, and tree that I found just looking for Halloween ideas. I found some witch feet that I used on the top of the cake, adding a ribbon between the bottom and mid layer. I did add some shadows.
The words, grass, and some of the pumpkins were fussy cut and added on top of the originals with spacers behind. After doing the card base I made 9 tags which I scanned all on one page to give you an idea.  Again the tags look much better in real life.  Finally, to explain it I wrote a poem for her.  It just folds over the card which was mailed this afternoon.  I’m so excited.  I just discovered we can click on pictures and they enlarge to see them better.  Also, I didn’t mention that the top opens and the tags are inside the folded cardstock with the threads hanging out.

Thanks for your sweet notes, Dawn and Christina.  I’m very hesitant to share as I look at everyone’s work.  You all are so professional in your work here; so I set my sites a bit higher each step taken.  I’m going to attempt to share a Halloween Card for my older sister.  I had fun doing it and Cassel hasn’t seen it yet but encourages me to share.

Thank you Micfin.  I think I will frame it and give as a surprise next time she comes.

Hi Everyone,

I’m jumping in with Module 3 in the Basic Scrap Course 1 with a picture of our daughter and her sweet Lab, Hershey.  Hershey, who passed a few months ago, will be a part of the family through wonderful memories forever.  I am so glad Cassel encouraged me to start with the Basic Scrap Course 1.  I had used several earlier versions of PSP but when updating felt totally lost.  So I really recommend the Basics.

Hi Everyone, I’ve just joined and look forward to seeing your work and trying my hand on making the calendar.
