GMIC is a free plug in for Photoshop, but works with Paintshop.

Thank you Donna, me too I checked it out, and install the plug in.

Canada would be happy to see everyone again. Next time, come to New Brunswick!

Day 5
 

I'd send more snail mail if stamps were like this!  I love stamps, they are little works of art I can afford.  This is beautiful.  This technique is so real looking and most everyone across the globe knows what a stamp is.

I am going to too, soon as the rebuilt computer is up and and running.  It's an interesting program.

Susan, I did download it and tried to put it in the plugin folder which file preferences shows it is looking for.  But I can't seem to get PSP 2022 to recognize it.  Any ideas/??

Mary, did you put the whole folder in your file preferences? Mine didn't show up until I put the whole folder in my plugin site. There are two files 64 bit and 32 bit. My folder is GmicPluginx64.

I havent downloaded it yet.  But I'm also going to need to know where to put it too.

I love how you have different pics for each stamp.

[Cristina]

I just started working on my layout for this workshop. As usual, I will create only one page and add all the elements to it.

I am working on the destination/route, and so far, I have only added one photo... Just for fun, I decided to add Markus to the picture.

I know, I know, this "game" is almost over but I won't give it up completely. A little bit frustrated because I ddin't manage to stay on it. At least Day 1, 2 and 3. 

Just a small correction, I added the wrong postmark a few minutes ago.

Libera, you are not alone! ? I'm juggling this workshop, the scripting, and now the Magazine!

[Mary Solaas]

I'm reposting pages 13 and 14 (posted in What are you working on in September 2023). Carole suggested I post it here.

[Mary Solaas]

And now for pages 15 and 16 - the Badlands.

Had to edit it to put the date stamp sticker on it.

And so pages 17 and 18.  Used some of the instructions in the Text Workshop this year.  The little flare button on the 18th page is from Pixel Scrapper.

[Mary Solaas]

Pages 19 and 20.  The map of the loop road and the 2 lower right pictures on page 20 are from the website for Custer State Park.  The rest of the pictures were taken by Laurie and Joe.

Why didnt your drive through the corner of Wyoming, through Montana, into Canada, through Calgary (ugh, shutter at the thought of the traffic there....maybe skirt around Calgary) and up to Edmonton...on the upper North west side you'll find St. Albert.  I'll wait for you, good excuse not to go to work when it dinner time for normal folks, with normal jobs.  Why do I have to be abnormal? Love the page and find your journalling interesting to read.

I find all your pages outstanding, Mary. The layouts are very effective. The offset papers and photos are very pleasing to look at. Driving around the Black Hills has always been on my bucket list and, thanks to you, here I can do it virtually.

Still working on it.  I guess this is about midway in the total trip.  We are now in Wyoming and will be there for a couple of days.  The campground is 7000 feet, and with my COPD, it is pretty tough breathing at first.  Second day I felt better and went with Joe and Laurie to some of the places they went to on this day. The flag and seal for Wyoming is from the web and the curvy road sign is from Pixel Scrapper (also the 2 rv's on the concrete road).

There's no deadline. Keep at it!

Next day - Joe and Laurie visit the Snowy Range Park.

[Mary Solaas]

And on to the next page in this travel saga.

[Corrie Kinkel]

Mary this is becoming a great album and so coherent! I love what you are doing here.

These layouts are very pleasing to my eyes, Mary. Is this still Day 10? You usually label each page, and you didn't this time. Like Corrie said, this will be a wonderful, coherent album of your fascinating trip.
