I’ve had a quick look at Lady22 templates. They are lovely. I’ve already commented on your lovely nested frame page on Facebook.
Shall I start the ball rolling?? OK! LOL Here’s a simple framed wall word art. I used filter forge wood, played with the tools to match the colour of the word art simple brown frame. Mitred corner script to create the frame. This word art just about sums me up! The white wash wall, also from filter forge, which I tweaked slightly.
That’s great thank you Bonnie. I’ve noticed that many of you use her templates, but I’ve never thought to take a look at her templates until now. I will certainly be using them for inspiration when it comes to layouts. They are very much my cup of tea.
Thank you Annie for your kind comment, your words are always kind and encouraging my friend. I should have used a more colourful photo, so much of the splatter is black/ grey.
Your latest page is gorgeous, what tiny mammals they are and unique to your continent. It’s a fabulous template. I tried to find Lady22, would you be good enough to send me a link please. I don’t use templates very often, when I do I tend to change them. They can be a good starting point.Lynda posted a link to a splatter portrait tutorial, using watercolours in masks. A slightly different approach to using masks. I watched the tut, and created this page. The Skipper butterflies are some of the smallest, they are teeny tiny creatures.
Michele, you always create such lively pages. I love how you used the nested frames in the surfing page.
Again, so many fabulous pages posted. It has been another busy month in the forum. Well done all of you!
Annie, the Blue Tit and the Robin, are two of my favourite UK birds. They have such spunky characters for such small birds. You created a sweet simple page to show case them.
Annie, again you have created a masterpiece, to honour this beautiful snake. You have put so much into it. It really is an impressive piece of work.
Annie, thank you ever so much for your kind words, as always they are very much appreciated my friend.
I enjoyed doing this page. The background paper is a paper template I found on Pixel Scrapper. Carole’s corner punch. I used colours from the bird, trying to match them the best I could., as per usual. The paper and text, matches the greys of his/her breast. Some of the techniques which I use are in the beautiful mess masterclass. My usual word art, extraction of bird, and framing. This one is a non breeding immature bird. I can tell because his /her head is mottled rather than all black., same for the brown bib, which would be black in a mature bird. I’m not one for using to many elements and papers, but after the Using element templates masterclass, it opened up a whole new world. I love the small detailed patterns to found in the paper templates section on some scrapbooking sites. By the way, I heard this song on the radio this morning. I love Stevie Winwood songs.
Corrie, thank you ever so much for your complimentary comment. The North American Robin was named so, because they resemble the European Robin. They both have red breasts, and delightful song, but that is the only similarities to each other. The Robins here are related to the Thrush family, (same size as the European blackbird) whereas the little Robin red breast as they care commonly known as at home is related to the old world Flycatcher family. I’m awaiting your scavenger hunt page to be posted. 🙂
Ha, right, I’m pleased you were aware of that tutorial. I’ve found that some of the settings may vary from the older tuts, when using much newer versions of psp.
Ann, I noticed that your pin resembled a six inch nail, which you hammered into the frame Lol, only teasing you. There is a tut in the creative scrap on how to create a pin. It’s an older tut. I created a few of them years ago using that tutorial. Which I use regularly in projects.
Annie, my friend, thank you for your kind words on my pages.
Ann, I love the wood ducks, I’ve taken photos of them. They are so regal all dressed up in vibrant colours. You created as lovely page to showcase him.
Annie, I believe you when you say it took a long time to create. The Journaling alone must have taken you ages. As there are several steps involved in creating each strip. It’s an incredible layout. So much detail. I had to zoom right in to appreciate all the details. Your Xmas trees don’t need to be decorated, mother nature worked her magic on the colour palette. A superb page.
Another one, this time featuring the Robin and ground squirrel. As you know the squirrels enjoy an apple a day. Frames with a difference, added metal rings
Played with Carole’s nested frames. I used adjustment layers. A rose photo I took the other day at the local garden centre.
Thank you Lynda, the kind comments always mean a lot to me. Everyone has been ever so busy creating incredible pages. It’s hard to find the time to go thoroughly take them all in, noting all the different techniques and approaches taken in each creation. We are all an awesome small, unique, friendly, helpful community.
I am enjoying all the wonderful pages posted. What a creative, imaginative, talented bunch you all are.
So many wonderful layouts. well done all! To many to comment on each one individually. I find double pages are very useful.
Here is the diamond paper I made for the ribbon, used in the main image. Again it had to be delicate and subtle.
I have said it before, I do enjoy the scavenger hunt challenges. It gets the old grey matter remembering techniques which I have learnt in the past, and fetches them once more to the forefront of my mind. Nothing to complicated. I’m a huge fan of the out of bounds technique, and when I can I always take the opportunity to use it. Cassel’s knotted ribbon. I used a photo for the background paper, something I have a preference for rather than use a patterned paper. My usual word art, where I used delicate fonts, as this plant is small and ever so delicate itself. I slipped an extracted flower into the top knot. 1 Twill ribbon. 2 Metal ring frames. 3 Journaling strips. 4 Diamond pattern, 5 Straight pin ( I fall back on this element which I made ever such a long time ago).
Lynda, like most males they are more brightly coloured, they have more yellow on their wing feathers. I’m in Saskatchewan, Canada. If you were google Lake Diefenbaker, your have haven an idea of the geography of the land. It isn’t as flat as people perceive it to be.
Lynda, Ann, Here’s two of my visiting (female) Pine Siskins at a feeder. (Male on the branch) Large flocks migrate here to nest. Some will stay, and nest, the bulk of them will fly much further north to nest. In the Autumn I have hundreds of them coming to feed, making their way back south. They stay for 16-20 days. Between them and the Goldfinches they consume a vast amount of feed.
Shelia, I had no idea what a talented artist you are. The frame is awesome, but the painting is incredibly realistic.
Bonnie, I like the added feature of the out of bounds technique. I use the effect when I can. It’s an easy technique. In my opinion it always catches the views eye.
Corrie, I love your word art you create. I’ve noticed that you add word art to most of your pages now. I do too. I always feel it gives that added special touch to every project, especially when the quote has relevance to the page.
