I too call it Yingyang. It makes for a nice different way to write text. I made a double page, mirroring this page. You do surprise me. I didn't think that there may be a flower you didn't like. These are native anemones, quite different to the hybrid ones. I look forward to seeing what you create, which will be beautifully executed.

You are quick! I just see this challenge now and will have to see what I can come up with. I love the "ying/yang" circles, at least we call them that way. The photos of the Anemones are lovely, but I probably am one the very few persons that doesn't like them. So now you have met that person albeit digital and you know how much I like flowers. ☹️

Q = Quaker Moth (Orthosia gracilis) or Queen Butterfly (Danaus gilippus)

P = Painted Lady Butterfly

A very original layout, you come up with the most unusual ideas and they work well!

I haven't seen this statue for real, but it has been mentioned and shown a couple of times in the "Antiques Roadshow" on the BBC where copies of this statue were brought in. I have been watching the show for many years and besides being good tv it has taught me much about all kind of antiques.

Glad your problem is solved now! A computer mouse is not the first thing that comes to mind if you have a problem 🫢

I have a phobia of spiders 😞 A little anecdote. Newlywed. In the middle of the night, my wife woke me up and told me there was a spider in the bed. In less than 10 seconds, there were no more blankets on the bed. I looked at my wife like a "Zombie." Then I realized she was dreaming. I remade the bed and we went back to bed (me with one eye half open just in case...) And you, what is your "phobia"?

Project 2 I used blend modes on the photo. I thought it looked kind of neat, like comic book art, the colours are all opposites of what they are. I used Nellie Bells kit, it had nice paper in it. The font is Behumble from CF. the photo is mine from some of the tools we download in one of the recent BTC (Breakthrough Color) courses, that we print and assemble. This is more a play kind of course and different than the 6 courses I originally took. There is shadows on everything, it's not going to show up well on the dark and at this compression. I'll put it on FB later today. Must go "adult" now (read: do housework).

Between two brush strokes (lol), I did this

Stamped letters challenge. I am currently going through a circle phase. I saw a layout similar by AnnieC so decided to copy it. As per usual, I have saved a template. Allowing me to reuse it. All the circles are saved as vectors. Roll on Spring.

That was what I had to do, too. Now it works for me. Every time!

I'm glad that worked for you Mary. If I try to use Balls & Bubbles it always freezes PSP and I have to resort to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to close the program. For me it's been like that for months - everything else is okay so I just don't use that effect.

All of a sudden, several days ago, my mouse wouldn't open my logon to my computer. I tried punching several buttons, but that didn't work until I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Which was crazy - right? Also, the pointer was beginning to jump around. The mouse was old since I had bought it several laptops ago, but it is only in the past few months that it has been acting up. My problems with the Balls & Bubbles cleared up after the mouse was replaced.

I think there are two "Jacques"!!! For me: no, not yet (I have a digital painting to finish first with Corel Painter).

Project 2: The Angel of the North is a sculpture by Antony Gormley, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. It is near the main road north to Scotland so is seen by millions each year. You can also visit the statue which I have done many times. I am in awe of its size - it stands 20 metres (66 ft) tall with a wingspan of 54 metres (177 ft). The photo is one of mine. The papers are from Rachel Martin’s ‘Felicity: Ombres Kit’. The font is Angelface.

Evidently my old mouse was the problem. Since installing the new mouse, Balls & Bubbles now works. That mouse (the old one) had even messed up my login screen.

no: just Hi

Freebies are great resources that you can find in many places to build a library of elements, graphics, and tools. Since they are free, they are available to all. For March, how about using these basic stamped letters? They would be great for titles, and you can easily colorize them if this color does not match your work. They are available on this blog post.

What an interesting story, Julie! They do a vital job to save lives. Looking at every page you post is a joy. You definitely found your style!

Project 1 I used the Behold Autumn bundle that I had. the layouts I just scrolled through are really awesome and inspiring. I'm onto looking for some photo's for Project too and now I get to get a tea and watch my favorite TV show of the moment (Bootcamp TV! 😁 starring Carole....and that's all!). Photo is mine as usual. Probably will be much darker than it really is. It's supposed to be as if lit by the moonlight.

That's hilarious! If I photograph it I'll have to clean it first!

Project #3 - I went through some steps again - I am certainly glad to start learning the PaintShop Pro.

@Ann Seeber That train looks quite similar to the Ocean, which runs between Halifax and Montreal. I took that train many times in my early years in New Brunswick. That dome car is great and I once sat there during a thunderstorm. It was spectacular! @Jacques Hi. Did you try to post something that didn't display?
