I created this in Affinity. I worked at it quite awhile trying to figure out how to make it work and in the end it was so easy. I just duplicated the background that I wanted it to show and dragged the font layer on top of it (clipped it) Then I applied the inner shadow and there it is. This way you can move it around and also adjust the background that you want it to show. The fonts used are Comic Queens and Balloon Pops. I hope if nothing else, this makes someone smile today. -

Yeah, OneDrive is a pain in the you know what! When I got a new laptop, I was trying to use my Dropbox account to send something to my cousin. The dropbox it had me using had none of my files or folders. Turns out it had created a whole new Dropbox for me. I couldn't even log in to my years old account! Then I realized that OneDrive was turned on. Like you Sue, I did some research and figured out how to turn it off. Amazingly, I could then log into my old dropbox account. The other thing I don't do is have my computers sync through my MS account. I have different backgrounds on my 2 computers and if you do the sync, it will put the same background on both computers as well as any files in any of the folders set up by MS (documents, photos, videos, etc) will be copied to the other computer. I keep very little on my laptop and mainly use external hard drives with it with the data. Then I just plug it in the desktop to copy any changed files to it. My laptop is mainly for genealogy work these days. Years ago, I would use it for scrapping when I went to retreats. Digital kits and photos took up too much disk space so again I used external hard drives. I have multiple external hard drives with backups of my data and stuff I don't need that often. But once I got the faster fiber internet, I did sign up for an online backup (iDrive, not an Apple product). External hard drives and thumb drives can fail. About 4 or 5 years ago I was cleaning out a closet in my office and ran across an old external hard drive. I think it was one that I used to save older digital kits and some of my earliest pspimage layouts. When I hooked it up and plugged it in (so old it had its own power cord), it did nothing. Computer couldn't read it and the lights on it wouldn't come on. It was dead. So I lost that stuff. So far that is the only external hard drive that has failed me. -

I totally agree. Just today I was on Creative Fabrica looking up "Farm Machinery" and low and behold, I'm watching YouTube and there is ads for farm machinery, so strange because we never saw and ad like that before. Unless they know where I work as we print a lot of Farm specific newspapers (Ag Dealers for AB, SK & MN, Western Producer, even one about Hogs, it's a booklet though). -

I agree, I firmly believe that onedrive is one of many ways governments spy on us individuals. Onedrive sent me a pop up, saying my storage of 5GB was full, and wanted me to buy more space. I know for a fact, that I couldn't afford the amount of storage I'd need. I have all of my SD cards, memory sticks, and previous full external hard drives, neatly filed away, in my mini filing cabinet, along with printed info, tutorials, and other valuable material. -

What a beautiful photo and layout. It was MS that caused your huge headache. I dislike when MS thinks for me. Ask me first dont just stick stuff on I dont want. I just checked to make sure I dont have that offendding One Drive. I dont. I know Cortana keeps popping up and hubby kicks her butt to curb pretty quickly. She is very annoying, always pestering me. I'm with you. External Drives. Even a well-known Youtuber computer tech guy said "there is no 'cloud' there is just your files on someone else's computer." And I think HD's as expensive as they seem are still cheaper than paying a cloud service because the amounts drive space that we need are huge and it would be costly. And what happens when you can't afford it anymore?
