What are you working on in August (2023)?

Sometimes it's fun just to use picture tubes, clip art, and a gradient. The background sky gradient is mine; the grass, trees, rocks, and cloud are from various picture tubes; the flowers are from GoF Designs; the ladies in white are from CF. Oh, and the blanket is a paper that I changed with the Perspective Mode of the Pick Tool. The font is Amastery Script.

Lab 11 Mod 4: Rope  words; rope wound around a wood frame; horseshoe.  All 3.  Again I used that upper and lower section - this time for the title words (made with a rope tube) and used the rope tube for the frames.  The cowboy boots are from Creative Fabrica; the frame is from Cass.  This was good practice with the pen tool and creating vector shapes (the horseshoe) and I also used Cass-CustomDirectional Tube script to create a tube of the horseshoe.  I was going to use it on the layout, but decided against it - it just didn't work for this layout.

•✿•  These are absolutely wonderful pieces, ladies!
It is so sweet to see the excitement you share, when you find yourself achieving your goals.
How sweet too, that you share a bit about yourselves in each piece.
I am so thrilled to be here .. able to watch you grow!

Lab 11d Mod 5: hexagon shape, smudge brush, dictionary copy:  All done - (smudge brush was used in the bottom left corner and top right corner.  The picture is one generated by me in CFSpark (asked for a cat on a rug by a fireplace) - used the white overlay reduced to 10% and then overlayed one of Susan Ewert's cracked paint overlays with reduced opacity just to give the frosted glass some depth ; the papers are my own.  Made several ribbons or paper strips of different hexagons I'll post them also.

I downloaded the freebie template in the creation cassel blog. I started it, but then I did my own thing. I won the border frame  brushes a short while back, and hadn't had a chance to  use them until this evening. For the large photo of the Yellow warblers I created a watercolour effect.  It's background paper is a  photo of some trees out back, which I took the other day. Overlay. I created my own date stamp, copying the latest date stamp script in the  store.

I've been just playing around until the Travel Challenge starts tomorrow.  Couldn't think of how I wanted to display my CFSpark Andy Warhol Cat and then I started playing around with my abstract paper I created from another CFSpark pattern I created and the hexagon shapes from the last lab requirements and came up with this kind of abstract layout for the cat.  As Annie Tobin used to say - enjoy.  I've been thinking about her lately, too.

I love the yellows!
The way you displayed the pictures, is fabulous.
That border brush is lovely too!
 

I have all of Carole's edge and corner punch brushes.  They an an invaluable  asset to any layout.

Lab 6 Module 8 Experiment 04 Sketch Idea- One Photo Focus

This photo is glued to a metal plaque and judging by age of the uncle was taken in the 1920's. I used a scanner to get it into the computer.

The question I most receive is what the white thing?  It is a lace cuff used to keep the dress clean in those days.

I decided to  have a go at the mock up page in the blog.  Choosing a photo adding text, and  fitting it  to the  book mockup page was easy enough. I failed to change the colour of the  pages, and the back cover , as for some reason it  wanted to be the same colour as the  spiral, which I  colourized green.  I wanted the  back page to the  same brown, with a bit  of texture, and the pages to be an off white.  I think I'll stick with Carole's  spiral tubes.

This is beautiful, Sue. The edge border frame brushes are gorgeous. I wonder if they’re intuitive or if you are super-skilled at using them, and I’d be wondering if I bought the wrong ones because I couldn’t get mine to look like that!  
 

Mary, that cat is perfection! I LOVE it! Is that another CF Spark? If so, it is a winner!
