Neala, I love the monochromatic in your flamingo page and the touch of blue ribbon really adds that extra wow.
thank you Cassel. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sue Thomas’s work. I haven’t really been a FB person until I joined your FB group. She is brilliant! her photography and her layouts are outstanding. Can you tell I’m a fan? Pretty much everyone here and on the FB group inspires me. and I simply love seeing anyone’s photography. I think I’m in the right place.
Here is Day 5 Project 2. I thought I’d get in on the rodent action too. This is from Manning Park, BC just outside the Lower Mainland (Vancouver). it was only an 1.5 hrs to this beautiful provincial park (from my house in Chilliwack, BC) and we went camping there every year on my birthday so I could see the ground squirrels. Manning park is also home to many black bears and I’d be laying down photographing the ground squirrels a there would be bears walking around the day use area. I’m not too sure about the shadows on the 2 titles. When the title color is dark it’s hard to tell there is a shadow. Also the flowers I wondered if it was too much shadow, they look like they might be floating to high. I used the basic shadows from my cheat sheet (from the Basic Scrap Course).
The papers and the flowers are from Pixel Scrapper, KMRD Steampunk kit and the textured overlay was Merissa Lerin. some of the papers and the overlay I reduced the opacity. I forget what font it was (oops), the photo is mine.
I really enjoyed logging in to see all the new layouts. They are really inspiring, thank you all. thank you Cassel, I will start looking at works I really like and deconstruct what I like about it. I was taught that in Photography too. Now, I’m off to work…sniff sniff (insert sad face me).
Hi Cindy, I will have a look in the store. Retail therapy is high on the list right now! hahaha
Anne, is that cookies on your plate. Yummy.
Dennis, I love the cascading flowers. And glitter paper! you can never have enough glitter I say.
I like your page Cristina. And I feel your pain (design pain I mean). I have a hard time adding in elements and knowing when it’s either too little or too much while also making it look balanced. Design is a hard one for me. Your dogs are adorable. I really like these classes too. I’m blown away and inspired by what everyone produces. It would be neat to have a class on “design” that shows before (usually when I think it’s done) and what can be done, the wow factor “after” that I need to learn how to do. I guess it’s the 3 P’s (that I learned in Calligraphy). Practice, Patience, Perseverance.
Euka you live in a very beautiful place. I love the camels. I like that you used a picture for the background, that’s really effective.
Cindy this is beautiful. I love the picture and it looks like it’s curling up a bit on the sides. Those hearts are neat with the papers in them and one that is a hole. I like that technique (whatever it is).
Ravin, Porthos looks like one happy puppy (I call them all puppies no matter the age). Isn’t it our job as their staff to spoil them? Looking forward to more Porthos and more of Bruce from Cindy.
here is my project one from Day 3. when I first logged in today I was greeted with Ann S. beautiful page. I thought I’d like to take a nap in that garden. With that in mind this is ME having a nap in Ann’s garden. Those arent yellow bed scatter you see (okay, they are), they are cheerios in case I got hungry.
All the papers and elements are from Pixel Scrapper (Thank you). yellow paper (Digi Dewi), brown paper strip (Marisa Lerin), flowers (KMRD steampunk kit), scatter (aka: cheerios; Sahin Designs), text was minya Nouvelle. Photo is mine from Vancouver (Canada) Game farm in 2012.
Ann, Nonie, Neala and Janet Wowzers! Beautiful. I’m going to try to work on adding more. Its hard for me, in photography you take out what doesn’t add to the subject. You wouldnt believe how much I put on and take off. I’ll get there eventually.
Shhhh, Cassel, don’t let him know. I liked the sandwich so much and I was soooo hungry, I ate it. Saved him the calories and since it’s a digital dinner I ate the dishes too (getting rid of the evidence). I should be well versed in UNdo. Years ago my co-worker and me decided to give ourselves superhero names. I was Eraser Girl; able to erase peoples mistakes with tone and glare (picture: me standing tall, chest out, hands on hips). I did use Undo, in fact I should say there is very few times that I haven’t used it.
I’m looking at everyone’s lunch and I’m so hungry now. Anne, the actual joke is me making all these obscure rules. It’s become a game; hubby will forget to put something away and I’ll come along and clean it up and then I go tell him the new rule. I think I am on about rule #4387! it’s all in jest, but we were 20+yrs into the relationship before he informed me he like his grilled cheese sandwich cut corner to corner. I really like this bootcamp, I learn so much and this time through the Table exercise I felt more comfortable. <b> </b>Ann S. and Corrie, I am blown away by your table setting and your table. Maybe that will be me in Bootcamp #46!
Lunch is ready! I made a ham sandwich for the darling hubby. wouldn’t you know it, I forgot he doesn’t like onions or pickles (unless it’s a hamburger; so many rules how’s a woman to remember it all?). I’m impressed he used the cutlery (fork) to carefully pick them off and set them aside. My spotty internet get going in and out, at first I thought Cassel stopped talking to me. Before I realize it was my internet provider wasn’t talking (I live 5 min from a big city and this is one of the big internet/tv/phone providers – go figure).
I made a mistake when I was resizing and didn’t check “all Layers” (I thought it was always checked, so it pays to check and double check) and when I uploaded I noticed one the pickles was moved and really small. A head scratcher. I reopened the PSP file and re-saved and saw what I had done. I’m still making mistakes and learning. glad I am running through this class again.
Hi Dennis. I was in your shoes last May. I was about to give up learning PSP (and I had been buying it since 2018 and never used it) and this class came along at the right time. the instruction is really good and thorough. I found I did lots of rewinding and doing the action then playing and rewinding as needed. I watched the whole lesson first then ended up watching it on my laptop and pausing at the spots where I would then do the actions on my desk top, then play more and do the actions and so on. I am not good at watching on the same computer as PSP and having to switch back and forth. The forum is great to get help, I learned a lot from other peoples questions as well. Looking forward to seeing your pages. Whether you scrapbook or not, this is really good way to learn layers and lots of other techniques.
Wow Anne, what a beatiful stained glass that is. Cant wait to see what you do with it. Agree with you, I want to watch (and re-watch ) the videos and take more notes this time around.
I just watched the set up video and realized how much I forgot. I do prefer a dark workspace, I find it’s less hard on the eyes, since it’s not so bright. I am using PSP 2020 and it had tabbed windows, I didn’t like that and this video (the first time around) helped me make it untabbed. I like that much better.
Hi, Susan here, from St. Albert Alberta. I still consider myself a Westcoast girl though, spending most of my life in the Fraser Valley area, or Okanagan area of British Coloumbia. I took my first Scrapbook Bootcamp in May of 2021. I have had PSP since 2018 and never knew how to use it. An email from Corel about a “free” class on how to use layers in PSP had me intrigued, maybe I’d finally learn how to use PSP. What a great experience the bootcamp was. I signed up for the Basic class too which was a really good next step in learning. I am back for more; it takes some time to drill stuff into my thick head. I would have liked to post a picture but my computer is doing a loooong back up. Looking forward to seeing the layouts we all make.
hi, first time doing this challenge. I’m still working on the Basic Scrapbooking Course (just started Module 5) and taking a color course so I hope I’m up for this challenge. This photo is from Banff, Alberta (Canada) from 2015. You likely wont hear from me on Mon or Tuesday, it’s the busy, long days at work (work really gets in the way of fun!). Looking forward to seeing the pages from everyone.
Bonnie and Lynda, I’m blown away at how beautiful your pages are. What inspiration for me! Thank you for sharing
Suzanne, this is beautiful. I’d say you passed with flying colors. I love the squares, the two color looks so cool. What is the lines around the edges. Is that a separate layer? I noticed that with another one on another forum and I really like that look. What is an element like that called?
Sue, absolutely beautiful page, and beautiful photo. There is nothing like the sound of chirping birds. We (hubby and two indoor cats) do a lot of watching “bird TV” out the dining room window (where the feeders and baths are). I think I’m probably one of the few who shovels under the feeders in the winter so the birds have a place to land (other than the feeder itself), and for me to get to them to fill them.
Corrie this is very beautiful. Your visitors will be delighted. I have always wanted to do a photo book. How many pages is it. It looks hardbound, is it? Did you change the size of your page as it looks more rectangular than the 12×12 scrap page. Sorry for all the questions, this looks so awesome.
Annie These are very cool. I will give this a try. thank you for the tutorial info.
Sue Wow! that is beautiful.
Very beautiful Annie. I will look into templates. I confess I dont know what templates are and which part is the template. Such a newbie.
Thank You Anne. I am really trying to work on design. It’s a tough one. I try to think (like I do in photography) is this element adding to the theme or detracting or does it make sense to have it it or not. It’s not easy for me. There is so many papers and elements to choose, maybe it’s because I cant choose which ones to use that keeps it simple. hahaha.
