I compliment you Ann and Cristina on creating such wonderful layouts. Well done ladies!
Here is my layout for the August colour challenge. I used an overlay on the background paper (Perle Noir). Adjustment layers on the photo, with a silver frame. Fonts are Copper alt caps for the Morning Glory, and soft ornaments for the element. Sculpture texture used on both. The Morning Glory flowers have long gone over, but when they were in bloom, I would have my morning cuppa outside gazing at their beauty.
Thank you Annie, I’m so pleased to see you back. I do hope that you are safe, fit and well.
Jnet, lovely to see you back too, and that you too are safe, fit and well. Beautiful pages created by everyone.
Cluster challenge. I did a great deal to create this page, masks, cloning, adjustment layers, rotate, fancy text, out of bounds. Textures, shadows. Created a bracket frame I used the section tool a great deal. I love everyone’s interpretation of the cluster. Such wonderful creativity by everyone.
You did a wonderful job, I love it. I love using masks to create a composite pages. Believe it or not, we do have lots of species of gulls on the Prairies in Saskatchewan. Thank you!
Well Shirley this is what I have done using your two garden photos. I hope you like it.
Hi Shirley, here are 2 photos for you. I love to kayak. Lake Diefenbaker, Saskatchewan. Canada
Hi Shirley, I have some photos lined up that you can use. I’ll give you two topics, so you can choose one, unless you want to do 2 pages.
A thunder storm made me sit down to create something for the July scavenger hunt. Here it is. I used the alpha bead script on the oh deer. the rest I created myself. I extracted a sunflower from a photo to add to two beads. I used the soft light blend mode on the letters and flower on those green beads I created. The yellow flowers in the deer photos are sunflowers. I used a colour from the deer for the fuzzy paper. Text overlay on a sunflower photo. Rope tube. Background paper, coloured stripes with a blur. Polaroid frame created for the photos. Paper clip and bow are my own too, which are from my own supplies, all I had to do was colourize the bow to match the project using adjust HSL. I think that covers everything.
I’m sorry Royanne, I called you Shirley. Thank you, it’s very kind of you to compliment my page. As pages go, it was quite easy to create, yet the end result is realistic.
Shirley, those corner punches are wonderful. I have purchased all of them, and us them a lot. I love your page! The photo used is perfect match for colour. Colour challenge, Coral clay. I used the Coral clay colour in one of Carole’s vase preset shapes. Gave it some perspective using selection tool, brightness and contrast. All the flowers were individually extracted from photos I took, in my garden. Arranged them in the vase. The extractions were done some time ago. Continuing with the perspective theme, I created a sort of alcove to display the flower arrangement. Took a photo of the arrangement, and placed the photo at the back.
Colour challenge Coral clay. Well that didn’t take me long. I had an idea of what I was going to do. I found the perfect template in the lab 9-6. They save so much time. I took away all the elements, leaving the frames, and the text layer. I used one the corner punches, and a font to inlay the centre frame. Polar coordinates to make the line of text circular.Sculpture and inner bevel. I really like the effect of the special fonts after I’ve converted them to a raster, and played with them. They are very delicate. The posies of flowers ( all induvial flowers) are my own, which I extracted a long time ago, and arranged them. I used effects, distortion, wave on the bathing text. The colours I used are earth and natural from the material palette I colourized Cassel’s water alpha, and fed a rope through. It’s not until you write down all that you do, you realize how much goes into creating a page. I think that’s everything.
Cristina, I’m delighted to see you kept the tilted frame. I thought your sewing was very good with even stitches. Lol. I like the way you used the stitch brush.
I haven’t been on here for a short while, and what a delightful surprise I have had, so many awesome projects posted. Cristina, I love what you did with the 10-2 template. I really liked the idea of adding a single tilted frame, That was quirky. Same template yet our projects couldn’t have been more different. Thank you for your comment on my page. It’s always a pleasure to browse through all the different layouts. Not to mention a great source of inspiration.
My dear Annie, thank so much for your kind words. Lovely to see you back in full swing. As for me, it’s that time of year, where I spend more time outside than in. Our summers are so short, that I have to make the most of it, before the white stuff returns. I trust you are well, as you go into winter.
This is a first me, as I ALWAYS start a project with a photo. The flower images I got off the internet. I could have used my own extracted flowers, but these were soft. No kit was used. I created all the lace edged circles using Cassel’s fonts, along with the white lace border on the left. I was looking to create a soft delicate look. I used the alfa beads 3 script on the letters Flower show. I have shadowed everything that needed a shadow, I didn’t want a heavy looking shadow. I’ve just taken a look at the work submitted, they are all ever so beautiful. Well done! I was going to tell a story of my childhood, but I see a few you have already done that. Just as well I went with this year’s Chelsea flower show. As a child I went to the Flowers show with my aunt and uncle on several occasions.
Project 5. I didn’t use a kit. I created my own papers, added aa little noise to them to give a little texture. Flair buttons are my own using my photos, also the pin and the eyelet/embroidered edge paper. Tutorials for these three elements are in the creative scrap, in the campus, which I subscribe to. I got the butterfly off the internet. I have a template in greyscale that I can keep using over and over, all I have to do is select either the eyelets or the background to change the colours, to suit any project.
This is an extra, not part of the boot camp. I selected the Flicker, inverted, textured the remainder of the photo. Created a frame.
Project 4. Many of you will know I like to use a photo as a background paper. This one I textured. Scalloped edge on the black paper, which is one of many tutorials in the creative scrap, in the campus which I subscribe to. Cassel has an array of fonts to choose from in the store. I used 2 of those fonts on the other two strips of paper. I have the bee kit, so I used all the papers in that kit in my project. Green and yellow strips, blue for the text, and black to type the text on. All the colours to be found in my photos.
Thank you Carole, for your continued supportive and encouraging comments. Lynda and Krystyna, I thank you both for your very kind comments on my Robin page. It’s always appreciated.
Wonderfully creative projects being submitted. Well done everyone!
For me this was a quick easy page to put together. I had previously chosen my photos for the boot camp. I always start with photos, and the rest slips into place, well most of the time anyway. I used Cassel’s gold glitter, as I wanted a colour close to the colour of the Robin’s beak, which wasn’t anywhere else in the project. The lace edge, is one of Cassel’s lace fonts, which are delicate, and beautiful to use in any project. Cassel’s corner punches are another favourite of mine. I took a colour from the robin, for the background paper, and used the blinds texture. The punched paper, is a gradient I made myself from a tutorial from the calendar challenge. The word ROBIN, is a font called playtime, where I changed the direction of the text, converted to a raster, inner bevelled, and drop shadowed. I used a tutorial in the lab, which is available to those that subscribe, called photo cutout on the main photo, which is placed in a blue frame using the selection, modify, select selection borders, for the frame, and another gradient I made to fill.
Good morning Carole. The Swallow project is day 5. Yesterday’s tutorial. Sorry I wrote the wrong day on the project.
Cristina, I couldn’t agree more, there isn’t anything that escapes Carole! I was up at the crack of dawn, had my cup of tea outside with my usual digestive biscuit, while listening to the dawn chorus. Watching the tree Swallows above me in the tree, close to their bird house, inspired me to create todays page. I’ve tried to keep the page as close to the tutorial. Pardon the pun Carole! I couldn’t resist. You say candies, and I say sweets! Do you get it!!!! 🙂 Now for the page I created. I used adjustment layers to create the framed photo. Extracted the birds and branches from a photo. Corner punches, text on a curve, and round candies script. I moved the letters around, placing some above, and other below each other. I’d like to congratulate everyone on such beautiful pages, each and everyone is unique and creative. Not to mention inspirational. Well done.
Nice work Robert. I’m still waiting for my flowers to bloom. I like the blend mode tool.
Day 3. I used one of my photos for the background paper with blend mode (overlay), blur and opacity. Prints are a brush. I opted for a round framed image.
Looks like I’m going to be the first one to say ‘hi! I took part in the very first boot camp, which was quite some time ago, since then there has been several boot camps. Even though we had snow yesterday, it’s that time of year when you’ll find me outside more than inside, between the horses and gardening, my camera is working overtime, as so many migratory birds are arriving daily. Insects are emerging, and wildlife in general are busy living their daily lives. I shall be using these two photos, which I took this morning. As always I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone will be creating.
