My day 2 and I am enjoying my holiday in Western Australia. I travelled by aircraft from Queenstown to Auckland then from Auckland to Perth. In NZ we are 4 hours ahead of Perth. The journey takes about 11 hours.
All aboard and no lost luggage Carole. I am not sure if I have captured this day 1 as you invised, but here it is.When our family lived in Australia, we would goto Perth and visit for a month in the winter which for us is June July August. The wild flowers were in full bloom and such a pretty sight. I have used the colours that represent our rugby teams. We have the All Blacks, and Australia colours are green and gold.
Out of space challenge. You wouldn’t catch me in that restaurant, I couldn’t even walk on the glass floor at the Auckland tower and I got half way across a river on a swing bridge once and had to crawl back. So scary. I see I have spelt Restaurant incorrect. Oops!!
If at first you don’t succeed keep trying. ” I got it” I used one of the cass templates with a few changes. Even my journalling with the selection worked. Maybe my brain has been in lockdown. We moved to level today.
My bags are packed. I am looking forward to this one.
Very enjoyable class today on templates. I don’t know why everything looks so easy when Carole does it, but I spent a good hour tonight trying to follow the first tutorial using a template I had in my stash, but no matter how many times over and over it didn’t work. The first piece of paper did and that is where it stopped going to plan, so I moved on and picked up the one that Carole chose from the corel selection ( they are pretty miserable with the free ones) and thought I will follow along with her. but it was so easy I just went ahead and everything fell into place. I even put my twist on things, made a few alterations and added some elements to brighten it up to my liking. All the flowers are from my garden. 90% of all else was from Scrap twist designer Marnie Jo.
Here is my no photo challenge. The papers are all from Rush ranch
Thanks Bonnie, I am looking forward to see the animal switch results, its a shame there are not more participants, I enjoy these as they make you think a bit more and try to do justice to someone elses photo.
Thanks Annie, you are always so kind and it is nice to see you back I hope you are doing ok. Sorry for your loss its so sad when we lose our pets. I can relate well. xx
Bonnie, I checked Annies photo and it worked fine with option to enlarge on a 3600 x 3600 page when using the pick tool.
Last day. Concentration. Duck shooting activities commenced this weekend in NZ I thought when I found this black and white photo of us plucking the game catch, why not do a black and white theme. Yes that’s me on the left.
Thanks for your remarks on my project. Uploaded again with corrections and complete shadowing, I think as I went up the layers I didn’t catch the hidden layers on the layers palette. These flowers were photographed from a visit to Western Australia as listed in my original. Not mine.
Hi Royanne, Here I am at last, it took me some deep thought to think of a theme as I didn’t want to take anything away from the beauty of your garden and I see you are there busy as a wee bee fighting the weeds. Because I didn’t have a cleugh where to start, I decided to have a go at blending backgrounds and I was quite tickled with the result, so I had a starting place. I am a keen gardener too so I can see this id a big part of you. We are at the end of our gardening season here in New Zealand and winter is on it’s way.
Thanks Royanne that’s awesome and I see I worked out the timeframe pretty good. Quite dark to read but great information, also very authentic as you say, and the photo is so beautifully highlighted. The goods train used to pass by our back section about 12.30 am every night and for a certain time in my life I was always awake using my nebuliser for my asthma so I thought back to that time. I am late with yours because I have had issues with ny psp. Problem solved now so I can make a start. I love your garden where do you live?
Project 7. Finally here after a glitch in the software. Taken on a visit to Araleuan western Australia. Such a pretty place to visit especially in tulip time. I forgot to put the pinked piece back to the edge, but I am not going back after the trouble I have had.
Hi Royanne, here is my photo. The last train leaving Alexandra ( my home town) New Zealand not sure of the date. Probably late 70’s early 80’s.
I enjoyed the photo switch last time with Minka, and look forward to participating again. Here are our pages.
Project 5 Day 7.
In keeping with the tutorial, I have cropped and sized my 3 photos to place in formality above the piece of glitter. I accidently added a 4th photo as it helped to tell the story. When we were travelling around in our holiday bus, we came across this place with all these carvings in and on the trees, they were fantastic and my camera just kept clicking. Last year I took some friends, and it was all gone. What a disappointment. Apparently it had all been shifted to another province, it is hard to accept how all these living things from the earth could be shifted successfully without a trace left behind. It was a truly exciting experience the carvings were brilliant, it was hard to choose which photos to place on my project.
Marcia. Some years back Carole had a subject on how to save your scrapbook files maybe it is still around in the campus
Day 5 adventure
Thanks Carole for your kind remarks. As you know I am inclined to think out of the box and put a twist on things. Also getting myself in trouble at times, but this one strictly to the tutorial.
Day 3 “new”
Day 2 layers
Hi everyone, I am back for the umpteenth time.. There are always things to learn and practise on, even if it is just pressing a different button and putting a different twist on things.
I have added a page I put together at the weekend concentrating on the selection tool. The smart selection tool worked the best. Mind you, my time on using the selection tools seem to take hours longer than Carole’s do. I realise I should have cloned the sun off the subjects neck , but I didn’t so I will take that into consideration for my next selection day
I have done day 6 again, now that I have had help from Carole regarding the template. Thanks Carole, sometimes it can be just that little wrong move. I just grabbed this photo at random to match the colours I have chosen. This is my son and daughter, we are all keen players. I am the short one. Sadly my darts may becoming to an end as I ruptured my short bicep ligament a few weeks ago, on my dart arm of course. I used papers from Scrap twist designers.and the element from Uhere png’s.
Thanks Carole, Yes these 2 were great buddies. I guess will probably run that vector script on the more projects again now that you have brought it back to my memory.
Day 7 reflections, fairly simple today, but I always think less is more if it tells the story. This is our local bridge, the remains of the old one still remain. The colours are always beautiful at this time of year. I only used the inner bevel effects on the photo and words.
It has been a long time since I used the vector script. Interesting and fun.
Carole, on day 3 I noticed that a lot of participants had used the same template that you had used for the project and they could follow the tutorial to each process and put the text exactly where you did. I had issues with the text wrapping because I just got lost with the process. I have done it before so i will have another shot sometime.
For the shadows correction on Day 4, I usually duplicate the layers before I drop shadow, I see what you mean, point taken, thanks.
My day 5 an all day mission, must go for a walk tomorrow. Early start for my lockdown bubble up at dawn to remember our brave soldiers this anzac day.
