Travel Tale Workshop 2023

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Here is day 7. I used the extra template from Day 1. I tried the sand writing. I am not happy with my results but I have completed it several times. I'll work more on it later.

[Anita Wyatt]

Played some more with postage stamps today. This is a lot of fun. I have 2 more label sheets and will post them in a few minutes.

[Anita Wyatt]

Here is the postage stamp sheet.

Here is the Postage Stamp sheet with the cut-out. These stamps can become addictive.

Day 7: I don't know why, but I struggled a bit with this one. Half the time I make things hard for myself I think.

Pages 3 and 4.  Again, Marisa Lerrin for the rv stickers on the road and the rv button or brad. The seal for the state of Nebraska was taken from a web page of state symbols. The ribbon I made with one of Cassel's scripts.  The peony I extracted from one of the pics Laurie and I took.

[Jannette Nieuwboer]

You all have done beautiful work in this tut. My compliments. I feel sorry I could not participate. Hopeful I am the next time way better than the last few weeks.  

[Mary Solaas]

And these are the next 2 pages. You will probably recognize Cass's pinwheel. the balance of the elements and papers are mine.  The pics of Jim and Joe are blurry - although I used a flash with my point-and-shoot camera, it was pitch black that night lit only with a small fire off to the side and not too close to them.  Had a job lightening them up enough so you could vaguely see them.  Oh, well. It was a great night.  Somehow it always is after a good thunderstorm - the air is so clear.

ȕHere is my Postcard. Bella sent it to Natasha and here is what she wrote with a little help from me:

Dear Natasha, Many greetings from the beautiful city of Würzburg. See you soon. Bella

[Anita Wyatt]

Changed Postcard by adding border around it.

Finally finished! I decided to use my grandson's pictures from his stay at a river fish farm in Vietnam. I didn't have a lot of pictures, but I made some fish using Filter Forge filter "Aquaria." The water picture is AI from Adobe Express. The map is from a photo that David sent me when he sent the fish farm picture. The font is a grunge font called "sailor 1 grunge." I couldn't divide it in half because I placed the map in the middle. Papers are mine; two columns are a gradient.

Donna, I especially like those "fish" you made in Filter Forge! Striking!! I used that same template for my final Travel Tale though I was able to cut it in half. My computer lags terribly with double pages.

Your papers are gorgeous.  Especially that background.

Susan, I have a plug in called GMIC that makes all kinds of different effects on your papers. I used some of those papers as backgrounds.

You have the neats tools at your disposal.

Just finished Day 6 a little while ago. I used the extra Template from  Day 6. Photos are mine, and Mom volunteered to wear the hat for a few minutes. Background papers are from Digital Scrapbooking (Jessica Dunn).

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

[Jannette Nieuwboer]

[Mary Solaas]

This is my next double page. Again, the Marissa Lerrin RV stickers on the road.

[Ann Seeber]

My final TorontoTravel Tale - page 7 & 8 open book. Title font is Bungee Inline, backgrounds are photos with reduced opacity and using exclusion on the left page under the cass-hanging photos script, and hard light on the right page. My girls had a great time and Canada may never recover! ?
