2:27 ~ I used to do jigsaws every day, but I stopped several years ago. The best thing to do is to click on borders. Once those are done, it's much easier to figure out the rest of the pieces.

WOW Michele! That's generally the way I attack a jigsaw puzzle too, but the cookies got in the way as they were the main focus in this puzzle. I've really slowed down.

I think I might win the booby prize for the Slowest Individual Jigsaw Solver! 🙃

Mine was 8.01, it is a very long time ago that I did a jigsaw and I once loved it. I think I should practice a lot more to get into my old routine which was always to start with the borders.

I just posted a separate thread with more Christmas jigsaw puzzles if you want to do them: https://scrapbookcampus.com/invision/forums/topic/1621-more-christmas-puzzles/

The important this is, Did you have fun solving the puzzle? If you did, time is not a factor. Relax and have fun!

[Mary Solaas]

It's always fun solving puzzles! Of any kind!  Even the ones presented in the script studying!  And don't forget trying to figure out how someone came up with that - texture! element! paper! template!

[Anne Lamp]

Wishing you all a wonderful Dec 25 & those who celebrate it a Joyous Christmas. Most of the alphas are freebies from Cassel.

Merry Christmas All!  This is my husbands company's version of Christmas.  We went out in the evening to photograph the tire tree and snowman.  They had lights but the battery was dead.  I had wanted to try some light painting but the ambient lights from the parking lot was very bright, but I did use my flashlights to fill in the shadows a bit.  Then I darkened it a bit again because I liked it a bit darker instead and lighter.  It's nice to see even a big tire company has the Christmas Spirit.  The font is Klasted from Creative Fabrica. The moon is from the parking lot that night as well. I got the light flare from CF as well.  

I wonder if there is a way to make the Santa/Dinosaur arched without distorting it.  Like we do with vectors on a path.  I would have liked a little bit of an arch on them.  I used a Layer Style, outer glow...which I've never used before but I've seen other do it and liked it. I had to use the lowest setting and a lowered opacity too otherwise it's crazy big.

Playing around in Creative Fabrica.  Yes, I did order 2 more years as I have come to like it.  Never tried the ShapeCloud before, and did today  this is the result.

Wow! this is cool.  It is pretty convenient isnt it.  I needed the Santa, sleigh and reindeer and popped on there and got dinos instead of deer.  I have till Next Nov, then I think I need to stop the membership stuff (except the CAMPUS!) for a while, it's getting painful on my bank account.  I'll be trying to fill up over the next year and that will be what I have.  Unless I win the lottery that is.....without buying a ticket. 😆

@Susan Ewart this was so much fun - easier than Spark.  Here are 2 more I just got through playing with (although they are not Christmas.

Our pickleball Christmas luncheon. Double page layout. Templates by Chantahlia Designs.

[Michele]

I think this is the last Christmas theme of the year!

Template is from CD, font is Nomah, presents from a Corel picture tube, and my sequin picture tube. Do you think the sequins were too much? I was going to delete them, but I ran out of time and had to post it to my group with only seconds to spare.

No, not at all, Michele. This is a wonderful sendoff for Christmas!  Love the idea of Santa's belt buckle! I think this is the first time I've see someone other than glamorous women in your Fab Divas layout. Is that a chef?

Yes, that's Chef Gideon with the girls and his assistant chef. LOL

You can never have too much of the two things: GLITTER and SEQUINS!  Love the characters you chose.

I had a heck of a time putting their little Christmas hats on (except for the one in the Santa dress). Lots of different pick modes. 🙃

[Anne Lamp]

I decided to share this silly pic.  That elf name etc was actually the first one I got when I clicked on it. I did not alter it at all.  What I want to know is how in the heck did they get a picture of me to use.    AH HA, it must have been from Santa.  The text is Santa-Ugly-Sweater-6018607 The free text on C F today 12/29.

Those elves aren't just sitting on the shelf....they are watching us, every move we make.  They snap photos with their ninja-elf quick reflexes.  Dont take your eye off them!  If you see a flash out of the corner of your eye....it's THEM!  BEWARE, the Elf on the shelf!

We spent Christmas at Caesar's Windsor in Windsor, Canada. The weather was a little foggy😄. We had a wonderful time and didn't lose a whole lot. The background is my photo and the small picture is mine with Carole's Frame filled with a glitter that I made using one of cass glitter scripts. The red background is from Creative Fabrica. The font is Christmas Crafter and can be found on Creative Fabrica.

The important part is that you didn't lose a lot. It has been wet and foggy here for so long we are all feeling sun-deprived. Glad you had fun.
