This post is for anyone who might have an old software called Craft Artist 2 created by Serif but was discontinued and not supported a few years ago. Although the programme still continued to work it seems to be having problems working on Windows 11 from comments i have see on the internet. I started to have problems with it working a few months ago and recently it started to cause bigger problems so i uninstalled it. I kept all my Craft Atist Digi Kits that were made for it and purchased from Daisy Trail ( no longer exists) hopeful for a time when there would be a way to convert these .pack files to something that i could use in other programmes. Happily and by accident i came across youtube channel Juney Martins Rua and she had a video called Craft Artist Digi Kits to Affinity Designer Assets where she explains and shows how to convert these .pack files to pngs. I have tried her instructions on 2 .pack files so far and the process works. You do not have to put them into Affinity Designer or Photo if you don't want to, i keep mine in the folder in Pictures on my computer that way can access them for any programme as they are converted to png's. After file is converted one thing extra i do is delete any of the images i know will never use or don't like, to keep the file size down a bit. Also when following her instructions used a copy of the oringinal pack file to use for converting so to keep the original intact for future need if necessary. i am so happy it worked for me because i have a few kits now that i will be able to continue to use in projects here in the campus. hope this info can be helphul to anyone who has these .pack files from Craft Artist, as I did ask Carole if it would be OK to post it.

Lesson 5 and I really want to do this workshop one after the other, just as if I was participating at the actual dates. When finished I can go on to make a photoalbum of my trip and get it printed. Again flowers from my trip from different spots, some I took one on a walk around the neighborhood where my family lives and some from a daytrip we took. I used a bright background, very unusual for me but somehow it works. All the papers and the flowers are from DigiDewi's Kumbayakit. Instead of the swirls on the template I used 2 hexagon rows that I made some time ago and I colored them with a gradient just to give that option a try. I kept the 3 horizontal papers just solid, all the attention has to be on the photos. I didn't use a title but just the vertical paper for a list of the names of the flowers. Before I went on my trip I had a conversation with Sue T and some others about having a watermark for my work, especially if I would want to use it outside of the campus and the result is in the bottom left corner. -
