Ann Seeber Posted June 4 Posted June 4 I was happy to find a chipmunk took up residence under my patio and my cat, Eve, is also fascinated. He keeps her entertained since she can't go outside, herself. I snagged some templates from the mailer this morning from Digitalscrapbook.com. This one is from Rachel Martin. The title font is Agency, and the text is Arial. Meet Chip! 1 7

Julie Magerka Posted June 8 Posted June 8 (edited) It's wonderful! I am able to react to others' posts and comment on layouts. The gremlins seem to have been beaten back! I prepared this a while ago and couldn't put it here, but it might work now. (I actually tried to post it just when the Forum went wonky.) Just a general layout featuring one of my favourite plants in the garden. Purple is not a colour choice I use very often, but it works here, I think. Some elements from Katie Pertiet Designs.

I just posted my flower layout I've been holding through the gremlin attack. I put it on Carole's Chit Chat for June 4 page. She was calling for flowers at that point. Edited June 8 by Ann Seeber 4

Nice to see clematis doing so well! In the house we lived over 40 years before moving to the one we are living now, we tried to grow clematis many times with different varieties but due to the rather wet soil conditions we had, this never was a great succes. 3
Susan Ewart Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Great to be back to posting. This was the post I tried to post on June 6th. so glad is stayed on the Editor...and good thing it didnt post because I forgot to add a shadow the Weel Done and the frame. I had looked on "professor" Google to see what do Scottish people say for "congratulations" and it came up with a slang term, "Weel Done". I have no idea if this is legit or not. Just a quickie I did tonight...because I left it to the last moment. My friends moved to Scotland on the Moray Firth (Moray Coast?) in Nairn (close to Inverness). Tomorrow (from my point of view - Today from theirs) they get the keys to the new house and their new adventure. I had originally thought I'd be doing something with the text and the outer frame, but it seems to look better in black. I found the highland cow on Unsplash (Sasha Matic is the photographer) and since it was on a snowy white background I used the Darken blend mode to made the background disappear into the garage door. I found the highland cow in the circle frame on Creative Fabrica and used text on a path as shown in the last master class. I see that I didnt get the bottom word as far away. I'll fix that later, I need to send it now as they should be just about getting up for the day...as I'm about to be going to sleep. I am showing it in black (as it came), on the layout I turned it to white so it would show up. 1 2 8

Cristina Posted June 9 Posted June 9 It's great to see that the site is back to normal! At least I haven't had any issues so far. I can react to the posts, see the newest layouts, etc. Great! Carole probably lost a couple of hours of sleep, having to deal with this nightmare. 3

I wish I could take credit for the design but I saw it on a website somewhere. The trick was to kern the letters to make sure they all touched. I like the look. It's great for things like; Happy Birthday, Congratulations etc and I made the the upper and lower layers mask groups. Edited June 10 by Susan Ewart 2 1

I decided the frame was too overpowering and now have it as my P C background minus the border and I like it better for that purpose. 4

Glad that PSP and creating some layouts has got you to come back! It's very therapeutic for me. 1
AprilDawn Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Thank You Bonnie and Julie for your welcome back greetings. i appreciate it very much. it will take some time for me to get use to the new campus format. I am posting a couple cards i have been doing the past couple weeks. The scene card i used a photo from unsplash which is in the background and then made a copy and used a plugin called Gmic which will work in PSP and a filter in it called Dream Smoothing to give the effect inside the frames created. I really liked the result it gave. The floral card i kept it simple by using the colours from pattern which i got from a free bundle of patterns . i made a selection of a flower and used leaf shapes to create a kind of cluster. 2

Sue Thomas Posted June 10 Posted June 10 (edited) I see that the posts I had posted, which disappeared, have been restored . I will now post the updated transparent wordart candle which I posted on facebook as promised. Anyway, after some playing I can create celebration, festive candles which I will be happy with. Which are ever so easy to create, yet the results are quite impressive. I will start with the base. Using the vector elipse shape create the shape, duplicate. Using the pen tool move the side nodes in on the top layer, merge down, after duplicating, any gaps can be filled with the brush tool. Using the feather tool in selections feather severeal times until you get a nice tapered gap. Of course you would create the base after you have created the candle itself. Once you have created the wordart, stretch it out horizontally, and and a little squidging down. In order to achieve a shorter more compact candle. If that is what you'd prefer. Always duplicate, then convert to a raster. I won't go through the instructions of using the warp brush to create the rounded effect and shadows. Check out the tube tutorial in the creative scrap. Instead of using the usual written verse inside some cards I intend using a candle. The candle flame came from CF. I won't challenge you , but give it a try, and post it. It really is that easy.
