I agree Cristina. It’s so easy to use as well, so a newbie gets a winning outcome right away.
What a cool script I just bought (On Sale too!) Word Frame 5. I can see so many applications for this script from layouts to cards or a front page to an album or calendar. Check out the thread “New Script – Word Frame 5” to see more beautiful samples.
Corrie, it looks like you had really nice weather for your trip.
Sue, I love that layout. I love swallows, (especially barn swallows).
Thank you Suzy! Those are beautiful layouts. I am fairly new with PSP, just over a year. I love that script and will have to take a look in the store for it. This would be great for covers for layouts in the workshops we do and well, pretty much any type of themed layout grouping.
Corrie, your album is going to be stunning. I’m enjoying being a arm-chair traveller through your eyes and beautiful pages. I love the masks too. I can see using them a lot.
Corrie, that’s beautiful and the colors used are perfect.
Wow Sue, your yard must be so fun to watch. I did put them out today and just got home from work to see two magpies in the bigger one and then a crow after that. I have 3 depths of baths. One is big and red. I never thought they’d ever use a red bath but it is the favorite of all the birds. I had to put a rock in it as I had a sad drowning of a little brown job and it still bothers me. It was a bath given to me, I’d have never bought a smooth slippery bath like that. They are crazy expensive.
Marie-Claire, WOWZERS! your Day 7 pages are awesome.
Mary, I love holidays like that where you stop at cool road side attractions. I remember that being the highlight of trips with my parents when I little.
Thank you everyone for your wonderfully creative pages and some pages that gave me a glimpse into your life. Inspiring!
I just downloaded this Quick Page from Digital Scrapbook. Using the search function sure makes it easier to see just the Quick Pages. This one is called Unwind by Melo Vrijhof.
I found this robin picture in my files from 2020. It was the first time I had seen a robin using my bird baths. This was May 17th. It must have been a warmer spring as we still have 0 degree temperatures (Celsius) in the morning so I haven’t put them out yet. I need find a better way to organize my photos so it makes finding them easier.
Here are my last two Quick Pages. Using a photo project that is ongoing since 2018. Hopefully it doesn’t make your eyes go crazy.
Wonderful layouts from everyone. And seeing photo’s encompassing several of the frames is a really cool look I will remember to try. I had also forgotten about Inverting the selection to delete the extra parts of the photo. I used Selection > Feather on an images I added as an extra, thanks to Sue’s explanation.
Thank you Carole, for another workshop filled with everyone’s inspirational layouts.
I like what you added to your layout Cindy.
My extra page. My silversmithing days. sterling silver/pearls (3 photos), sterling silver end caps/clasp bead crochet necklaces.
Pirkko, that is an awesome layout. Love the cats paw reaching out of the frame for the string, great touch.
I had “issue’s” with PSP. so here’s one layout. And I’m walkin’ away for a while.
Thank you Sue, I will try that technique. And about the feeding information. Soon I can put my bird baths out (3) and I was surprised to see the bumble bees going for drinks. I am loving all the birds and animals (pets included!) I see from everyone’s posts. Hopefully I get to my pages today after I do some “adulting” (read: housework).
Thank you Ann, I will check out Amazon today. And I’m packing my bags and moving in with you!(kidding of course, I snore something fierce!). You have the best guests.
Oh Sue, how sweet. I love the look on the one with the carrot. They are stunning with the stripes. Question about putting out oranges (I just bought some, never thought about the birds would like them). Do I just slice them and put in in the open feeder or on a dish or on the ground? Adding in the mask gives a really nice balance to the layout. I agree, they give us such pleasure to watch.
Ann, what do you do with your oranges? I feed seed (from Wild Birds Unlimited) and right now dried mealworms (yuk). the crow and magpies are eating it up right now. Oh, and unsalted peanuts (raw, blanched) as a treat, they don’t seem to like the peanuts in the bird seed blend I have.
Here are my pages. One from my color course (#4 or 6 courses) showing a radial palette moving out from White in the Centre, if you could see the white hex as i put my 3D cube ontop for the photo. Color is 3-dimensional. Can anyone guess what would be on the corner of the cube not shown. Bonus points if you know what’s inside the cube, if you were to peel off the 6 faces of the cube(think: desaturated). In the last course our cubes were 6x6x6 (this one is 4x4x4). So many luscious hues. the hexagons are a 2D representation of 3 sides of the 3 dimensional cube. I love color more than any one should I think.
the second layout is from my nieces wedding in 2017. It was a rustic outdoor Wedding and this background suited the decor.
Ann, I love your invasion. Tonight as we were leaving work there were two geese, each on a separate roof of the two warehouses across from us. they were having quite a conversation back and forth. A co-worker and I watched it for 10 minutes, pretending to make up the words they could be saying.
Whew, Sue you have much finer brain than me to have figured out that orientation. I did try them all when I first started and I just went with what I found pleasing completely missing the shadows. Thanks for the instructions, my head was spinning a bit with all the spinning we did with this layout. I got there in the end! And boy was it worth it and I’ve learned a lot tonight.
I also followed your tutorial on the QP color change. It was the first time editing a selection so I’m glad I gave this a try. It was picky going around the plant and I tried one without doing that and saw that it really does make a difference. Watching a video recently with Carole doing extractions really helped to know that I needed to zoom in and use different sizes of the eraser and had to unerase with right click too. I did miss some bits but I was wanting to see if I could do it, I would take more time normaly. I feel on top the of world after a pretty blah day. Thank you!
Forgot to add Sue. YES! You may always make suggestions, it can only make me better for having them.
Oh man?♀️ , and I was thinking, why was it black there? hahaha. Good catch and thanks for noticing, I really need to study everything much better than I do. Since I watch a ton of Lindsay Adler’s lighting tutorials here is my sweet fix. I did Mirror>horizontal on the large photo so the window light is now mostly coming in on the right side (camera right). Sumi cat is being my light modifier (GOBO or flag) and subject (is that even possible) and casting a shadow onto the other 3 photo’s. the direction of the shadow at her feet are now more correct, shame on me for not seeing that part. Going forward I will be looking at shadows more closely.
You are going to make a designer out of me yet, and it makes my heart sing that you take the time to really look and help me. Looking at the two, the second one makes quite a difference in the feel of it.

Here’s my Day 4 layouts. I didn’t change anything. But I did come at the one Quick Page from a different angle. I should have changed the top and bottom small pictures in Sumi’s layout (black cat girl).
Pirkko, we are on the same wavelength today (along with Nel) with our cat kiddos.
Ann, I love Mr. Chip, so lucky you have chipmunks, it’s a rare sighting for me, only when I go to Jasper or Banff.
Thank you Sue, I am going to try that. I didn’t do that when I changed my colors and would have liked to do it that way. I must admit I am a sucker for point by point instructions, that’s how I roll so I really appreciate them.
Wow! Very creative takes on the pages. I love the photo’s everyone is using. Thank you Sharla. Filter Forge can get addicting for sure and I like that you can still edit further with PSP. thank you Pirkko and Sue for helping me to achieve better results and being braver in experimenting with PSP…when I know better, I’ll do better, right? I started watching Blending Through, it’s quite fascinating so far. And Ann, that sunset is outstanding! Welcome back Cindy, nice to see you again.
here are my two pages today. This is Squirrely White Tail. At first I called him Betty White Tail but then I saw (things humans shouldn’t see ? ) that “she” was in fact a “he”. He first came to the feeder as a youngster in June of 2021 (bottom photo is his baby pict ) and he was in the feeder several times a day throughout summer and winter. the snow scene the last shots I got of him. Most were shot through the window so they aren’t great. We haven’t seen him since the end of 2021. We are hoping he’s moved on to spread his glorious white tail, feet and belly to other squirrels, and not that the neighbour cat got him like he did “Spider Squirrely”…another of our favorites who was fascinated with my husband. that’s a story for another time.
The Xtra page is one of my favorite summer shots of him.
Nice to meet you Iona. Hope to see your work in the What Are You Working thread and in Workshops. See you around the Campus!
Here’s my Day 2 layouts. On the tackle box I changed the color with Hue/Saturation and got a color that match the shadows in the photo (enhance with Filter Forge). Faded Memories was the same truck as Day 1, but this time made to look like an old yellowed photo (Filter forge again). I turned Quick Page to greyscale, then negative image, hue/saturation, colorize and the bumped the contrast a bit and lowered the contrast on the truck to make it more old and faded looking.
I got a weird message when I was saving about losing vector data. I absolutely had it on save as PSPimage. I duplicated the layout as back up insurance and then clicked okay on the original layout and it saved okay. Two things I did was used the script “open as a copy” for the Quick Page and used the eraser tool on the vector (that I turned into a raster).
Thank you Pirkko and Sue, I will look into that tutorial/masterclass.
Very sad news. Annie’s layouts are an inspiration and as a newbie I loved her supportive comments to everyone.
Ann, sorry to hear of your loss today.
Here is my QP. One is a photo that I played with in Filter Forge and the Blood Moon (which I didn’t get to see because it was overcast?) is the Scrap Tutorial called Punched. Only you can’t see the “Punched” effect because of reducing to 600×600.
Mary, I love that movie too…ROUS’s. they said there was no rats in Alberta and my husband saw one crossing in front of the car on day, so we called them ROUS’s because “there are no rats in Alberta” (how does a rat know where the borders are?)
Pirkko. I love the colors you changed it to. I would love to know how to do that. I was trying to change colors but I couldn’t figure out how.

I’m here too. I’m not sure what pictures I’ll use, but I hope it will come to me when I need it to.?
Here’s the revision with the Eyelet Paper filled at 40%. I played around with a lot of size and settled on this one. the original I see I put at 75% (of the eyelet paper used in the patterns-materials palette). What a difference the small pattern makes. The 75% one looks more like it has measels. the 40% looks more like a mini version of the paper. Thank you Sue, keep prompting me to push my design to better heights, this is how I will learn to “see” better. It’s really helpful, especially when I put them together, the smaller pattern is more balanced.
L = Loo of the Year Awards (from google, who knew?)
An award for toilets. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Loos. The Loo of the Year Awards does exactly what it says on the tin and recognises the cleanest, most accessible and well-equipped toilets in the UK. But don’t expect any toilet humour here, these awards are very important for those in the hospitality, cleaning and facilities management sectors!
I will do that Sue, thank you. I am just off to work. Look for it tomorrow. I agree, I could live till I was 300 and still be learning.
You know the saying…”it takes a village” (to raise a child). In this case the village is the Campus and I’m the young grasshopper (child). Here’s a tongue-in-cheek layout of what started my journey into learning more about Data Files in PSP. I was missing some of the creative content that comes with PSP and through the help of Carole and Campus members Sue T, and Rene M I was able to get my content…and even found a creative pack from another version on PSP and i have that now too. The stamps and eyelet paper are from the Open House tutorials. I have much to learn about data files. I used my brush tool and it was unhappy with me as I seem to have many duplicates (the brush still worked after the initial stink-eye it gave me). Out of curiosity I told it to save it to the clipboard and I copied it into word thinking I’d just go delete the few copies. It’s 276 pages in a word doc. ?. I think there could be a teachable moment here on how to understand these setting, how to organize and set them up. Where i had maybe 2-4 items in the file locations list for one of the resources, I now see many locations. I have lots to learn about this and I think it’s important stuff to know and understand.

Good idea Sue, I will save a copy as well.
Success! Thank you Sue, I went to the Home Page, Store, scrolled to the end-ish and found the Creative Pack and installed and got flowers! I also did the File, Import, From last 3 Versions. And I found the data files. Carole are these the files that you put into a master folder. Can I put them into their respective folders in MY PSP Resources that I have on my “D” Drive (the C drive is just for programs, the D-drive is our data storage drive). Again, thank you all, I would not have followed through if not for your support. I was determined to figure this out and I’m feeling pretty good right now.
