Lab 14 Mod 2. Requirements: ink dot paper - I used a pink paper behind it and used the blend mode Luminance and so the ink dots are pink; Irregular Text Stroke - the title. The font is Arial Black as was suggested. The picture is of my grandmother (mom's mother) taken in 1953 and she was in her 70's (late 70's). It is my favorite snapshot of her - in her kitchen in Upper Michigan - a wood stove which also kept the kitchen warm - and she used an old fashioned iron to iron clothes - it was not electric, but was heated on that old wood stove. I remember also the chickens she kept and would kill one (an old hen) on Saturday and cook it on Sunday - our Sunday dinner. She had 7 children and the middle son stayed home - never married - and took care of her and grandad. the rose at the corner of the picture is one isolated from a group by Creative Fabrica. I see that the ink dots paper doesn't show up so well. I will post the paper separate.

Usually Affinity has a fabulous sale on Black Friday, and it's usually 50% off. I know it is quite a few months away, but i"m sure it'll be worth the wait.

Day 6 using affinity2.6 Paper used Billie Irene Digital Scrapbooking changed the colour usung blend mode,flowers by Rachel Martin, Jessica Dunn and Elif Sahin Digital Scrapbooking. Can't remember where I got the images for the photos but they were called floral junk journal, font used Bergidan.

Not having updates does not mean that it will stop working. I am still using PSP9, which was released over 20 years ago. Although Affinity can be a great addition to anyone's graphic toolbox, it is not like it can replace everything in PSP! And if you use any of my scripts, they will NOT work in Affinity.

Hank, that is where Affinity comes in. Carole has some tutorials for using Affinity. Some of us have used Affinity for this Template workshop, and, you can find some tutorials there.

So sad that there won't be more updates to PSP 😞 Hope there's a good choice for alternatives

It is painful but if at some point you can get the bundle of all 3 it is truly worth it.

Hope you feel well soon! 🙂

Never too old to learn, but 150? 😄 But I know the feeling!🙂

Thank you Susan, your message cheers me up, lately the inspiration is missing, and I can't stay on the same thing for long, which has never been my habit actually. What I like to do most is walking and taking pictures, and that is not going so well anymore, I think that is why.

Did you get the 90-day trial? Then, you might wait for a special. I don't know if they will have one but last summer, they had a 50% off.

I don't know the name of that flashy yellow Iris. My next door neighbor was a member of the Iris Society and developed her own cross breeds. That one may or may not have been one she developed. I wish I knew and I haven't seen her for years so I don't know how to ask her.

That is true...cats and paper bags. They are also fond of laser pointers.

Yikes! That means instead of $70, it'll cost $170. I'm a little short on cash and my car needs work. 😢

Very Nice! Just Looking at it brought me to a happy place

Beautiful

And my Template 3 as well. Thanks for the complimentary script, it's very helpful.

Yes, that is on purpose because the level of grey that is commonly used in templates have no actual meaning. Some designers might set that placeholder to be black, others will set it to white, or grey. Some templates even have colors and it is just for "the look" of the template without any real meaning as far as transparency. @Marie-Claire and @Bonnie Ballentine Glad to see your layouts, even if you started late. You really caught up! @Julian Adams Most of the tutorials will be using Affinity Photo, but, in a future workshop, we will HAVE to use Affinity Designer to complete some tasks. The current version is 2.6.2 for the suite. @Connie Collier I wonder if you might have either forgotten or hidden the shadows on the Floribunda layout. They are there in the Before the rain one. @Hank Sobah That is correct. Corel has decided to no longer develop PaintShop Pro (and VideoStudio too). All the programmers who used to work on PSP were let go. And even the one, in Ottawa, who was in charge of the PSP page on their site (with the freebies) and their newsletter, was let go. There was no OFFICIAL announcement, but with all those layoffs and the fact that the beta-testing team was dismantled completely last year all leads to that "unofficial" state. Will they change their mind in 5-10 years? Would another company buy PSP to develop it? Nobody has a crystal ball. @Linda RexfordCats love paper bags (and boxes). One of my cat discovered that potatoes make for a good toy: they roll, they make some noise, and move irregularly, and they can be clawed. When I accidentally dropped a potato, he played with it for such a long time, it became a habit of dropping a small potato whenever I would need to peel them, just for him! @Jenny MacKayThose are wonderful sculptures. I had never heard of them! I won't do any daily feedback but if you have more layouts to post, go ahead. We have a large audience to show to! But if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask as I get a notification of every single post.

Lesson 4 - PSP Photos are mine. The crow is sitting beside the sun. It was the summer of wildfires and the sun was a white orb in the sky that you could actually look at, very surreal. the original color is actually a desaturated brown but I changed the color balance to give it blue hue to match page, Fonts are: Carmina Blk BT (title) and Castello Signature. Probably from Creative Fabrica, one could be from Google fonts that came with FontBase that I use. I hope to get to the last 3 lesson this week, but it's a busy one with a big (to long ongoing) project that will finish by Sunday.

this is so sweet. My cats love a paper bag or a box (if I fits, I sits).

I'm glad to hear you are back to a more normal pace. I am going dark for the next week probably to wrap up the wedding card stuff. After I get over the silly stomach bug I had (first time sick in over 7 yrs - I'm such a baby at it now). I am looking forward to "normal" again and creating for myself and not for someone else.

Yay! Marie-Claire is back in the Campus! So happy to see you and Poncho again, with beautiful layouts.
