Have you ever created an album that tells the story of your life, one chapter at a time? For 2025, I’m inviting you to embark on a year-long creative challenge to document your personal timeline in a unique and meaningful way. We’re calling it the Timeline Album Challenge! The idea is simple: divide your life into 12 periods (the length of each depends on your age) and create one scrapbook page for each. Whether you include photos, memories, or simply words that describe those times, it’s up to you! By the end of the year, you’ll have a complete album that reflects your journey. For example, let's assume you are 72 years old (it just makes it easier to calculate): 0-6 years old: you can talk about your birth place, your first tooth, your first day of school 7-12 years old: you can remember some birthday parties, friends, places you visited 13-18 years old: those teen years! what were you doing, your first crush, your high school years 19-24 years old: maybe your dates, or wedding (if it happened in that time) 25-30 years old: maybe when you moved town, when your kids were born, when you purchased your first house And so on. You get the picture. Here’s how it works: One page every month: Start with your earliest memories or your childhood, and work your way to the present. You can also document specific milestones, achievements, challenges, etc. You can pick and choose any element to document. No pressure: Share your pages with us as you create them. There’s no strict commitment, and you can always catch up later if life gets busy. Make it yours: Add photos if you have them, or create pages without photos by focusing on stories, quotes, or embellishments that symbolize those moments in time. Include what was around you: seeing how some world events (or local ones) can relate to us can be interesting. What there a new fashion trend? What were the newest inventions? Any famous people that you might have heard of (or met) during that time period? This is your story to tell. Whether you want to focus on key milestones, favorite memories, or even everyday moments, it’s all about capturing what makes your timeline unique. Time for the fifth period (likely your early 20's-30's!). -
It is a new month and new projects. Show off what you are working on in May be it a scrapbook page, a collage, a tutorial, or anything else you want. We are curious and want to see, learn, and get inspired. These threads are quickly becoming a fantastic source of inspiration, support, and friendship. Keep them coming! Remember to size down your image to about 600x600 pixels and save it in .jpg format before posting it (if you are creating a double page, you can resize it to 1000 pixels in width if you don't want to post the pages separately). Here are a few guidelines for everyone: when you post a project, give as much information on your sources or techniques used. It will help others who are curious and would like to do the same. if someone uses something that you like on their page, ask where they got it. Sometimes, you can go get it too and it will be better quality than trying to extract it (as it would have been resized to post in the forum anyway). if it is something that they did from scratch, ask how they did it. It would be so helpful to everyone! if you like a photo and would like to “play with it”, ALWAYS ask permission. Sometimes, there are some limitations and the person is not allowed to let others use it. Don’t get them in trouble. Usually, people are happy to say yes (if they can) when you ask politely. And if you get permission, you might get a better-quality image than the resized image anyway.

The theme for May is NAILS. Fingernails might be small, but they can say a lot! From everyday nail care to bold nail art, this theme can be playful, elegant, or even symbolic. Do you have photos of a manicure, a salon visit, or fancy nails for a special occasion? Maybe your layout can focus on hands—holding something, doing a task, or showing affection. And if you don’t have personal photos, you can always use stock images, clipart, or themed elements like nail polish bottles, hands, or glittery patterns. Remember, you can also share older layouts you’ve already created—you don’t need to start from scratch! Let’s get creative from tip to fingertip! Let's go! Post your project in the gallery.

In May, our monthly theme is NAILS. Nails may be small, but there’s a lot to say about them! Let’s think about everything related to fingernails—nail polish colors, tools used in manicures, nail art styles, hand care routines, and even actions we do with our hands. Try to find a word for each letter of the alphabet that connects in some way to nails, nail care, or manicures. Think colors, textures, tools, or techniques—we’re bound to find something for most letters! If we get stuck on one letter, we can skip it after 24 hours, sound good? Let's get started!

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. -

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.
