All Activity

Hi Julie - I almost missed this because it's languishing back in April whereas we've all moved on to What are You Working on in May?

I read that the colors are not normal for the species; rather like melanistic (black) or albino (white) variations in other animals. Around here we get the occasional jet black (gray) squirrel, for example.

This is the first time I've seen one of those, Ann, and it's so impressive that a snowy owl has all these colors. Beautiful!

Lovely: ))))

Beautiful photos and layout Julie. Can I suggest you move your post to the May 'What are you working on' thread so that no one misses it.

Early May...is there a sweeter, more lovely, time of year? At least here in my part of the world. The flowering trees are spectacular and colour is back in the world. Grabbed a few quick shots while I was out today to capture the beauty of it all. (Except the Forsythia, which I got online.) Used PSE 2024 (my Affinity has expired and I can't afford to get back into it) and a template from Anna Aspnes. Some papers from a kit I won from ET Designs. The metal bee is also AA. I will be looking at this next winter.

I made it 🙂, the 7 lessons with Affinity Photo. Day 7 Papers : aimeeharrisondesigns Burst Forth Mini Kit Photos : Belinda Fewings (flowers) and Nick Fewings, on Unsplash Fonts : Al Sandra, Gyparody

Love the photo! It could be my grandmother in her kitchen. That's what I thought of. Great dot pattern too.

That was fast, Corrie! It seems you were just getting ready to go!

Apparently not. I logged in with my account (the one from the 90-day version) and received the download link.

That is a great way to work around the limitation, but I thought you had to have purchased it to be allowed as a beta-tester???

I finally decided to try Affinity. Since my 90-day trial had expired, I opted to participate in the Beta. I downloaded this version and used the same code as for the 90-day trial. Here I am with a 90-day Beta version (2.6.3.3273). Papers used: - PS_JanetScott_SD_Ddls - PS_JanetScott_SD_DropsPpr - PS_JanetScott_SD_PnkChev - PS_JanetScott_SD_PnkChev @CasselI was unable to change the color of the "Texture" layer.

D = discolored

I'm also running late and haven't started Days 6 and 7 yet. But I watched the videos and saw Carole's tip to add two Outer Shadows, one being used as a "Reverse Shadow". Great tip!

I love this, Susan!

Such a lovely memory and page, Mary!

Day 7 Template using Affinity Photo 2.6 Just made the deadline, photos are my own the photo with the two plant pots are lettuce seed and a re-potted cabbage plant (just in case your wondering I have more cabbages) the photo below is one of many climbing beans which will be ready to plant out at the end of May. Papers, gloves and tree in a pot are all from Digital Scrapbooking. The watering can is from Free Pik and the font is Back to Vintage, thank you Carole I have enjoyed this task and learned so much more.

For me there is such a lot still to learn and practice in PSP that I have no desire to start up with another software package (re Affinity) so I hope tutorials and such like can continue in PSP. A big thank you to Carole with what you have to offer in the past and hopefully in the future on PSP. It is sudden that there was no warning from Corel about the discontinuation and it is an unfortunate sign of the times re the employee layoffs.

C = Colorfull

I have stopped responding to all the posts, there is way too much and I wasn’t checking on a daily basis. Being with my family is far more important in these weeks I am away. Three weeks is so short and coming Tuesday I am already flying home😪. Congratulations to you all for the great and very different layouts you did and making it through this workshop. When I am settled back in I have a lot to catch up on and I have a whole bunch of new flower photos to use. Carole I’m sorry to hear we will need Affinity Designer as well, for me buying that one will have to wait until it will be offered for a reduced price. My trip and some new appliances at home have been enough for now, but I will watch what you will be showing. See you all soon!

Everyone has created such lovely template pages. Iam very behind, had a few bad days with health and to top it all off i had to get a new computer and transfer all my stuff. However hope to finish this workshop, but it may take some time. best wishes to everyone, Dawn.

And 2 other layouts from this time period. In 1982, my parents and her sister/husband were going to rent condos in Hilton Head for a 2 week period in June. The first week they had the kids join them. There were 3 of us kids. The 4th one couldn't go as he was attending Boys State for the State of Ohio that week. 2 of the 3 kids were married and 1 of the couples had a 20-month old daughter. The other couple was expecting their first child. I was single. We spent a lot of time on the beach since our condos overlooked the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. One day several of us went to Savannah to do some touristy things. It was my parents and I, my 2 cousins and 1 spouse. Mom's sister and her husband, the grandbaby and the other spouse stayed back in Hilton Head. Kit unknown. These were some of the first pages I did back in 2008.

I have those regularly!
