Mary the picture you are using is made from a very famous painting of a caféterras by Vincent van Gogh. It is called "Terrasse du café le soir, Place du forum, Arles" and that is in France.

Thank you for the info. I love this picture.

Recent taken   shots by JK and my recent PSP tools which I was playing with.

This is so striking and eye-catching! Very creative.

I have a logo that always goes on the back of my cards, maybe I should adapt it to go on my other work as well. Whenever I have time I'll give it a try, but that probably will not happen very soon 😢

I agree, it's at the bottom of a very long list for me too.

It can be something as simple as your signature in a picture tube. I use mine when I post something on a public site (when I remember). I rarely do it here because I can't imagine any of our members would take someone else's work and pass it on as their own.

I have several that I have created over the years but, like Michele, I forget to use one half the time. I keep them in a folder with my Supplies/Word Art. Here's a more elaborate one I made to use with a movie theme layout and one where I used cassel's datestamp script.

Try making a picture tube out of it. Maybe it will be easier to remember.

Actually, just the opposite, as I find picture tubes awkward to locate. They don't line up like computer files for me.

Do you mean "locate" them in the list? If so, you can always name them with !! in front so they will appear at the beginning of the list.

Because it's October and I just enjoy this month so much, I have to keep making some layouts to showcase the colours around.

The photo is mine from last fall at the dog park in town. The papers in the background are from Jessica Dunn. There are Foto Glows from Anna Aspnes behind the framed image. The frame is a cluster from Melo Virjhof at Digital Scrapbook from a while back. And a bunch of other bits and bobs from my Autumn stash.

I love it, Julie;  everything about it!

I only post my work at the Campus, and like Michele, I can't imagine anyone here using somebody else's work and passing it off as their own. 

But, of course, if anyone posts elsewhere, it is something to think about.

I only use my logo on the place cards I create yearly for the Christmas dinner.   But this is more for fun, as it's only family, and they are well appreciated, as many take them home. 🙂 

By the way, Michele, I love your signature, beautiful font!

I haven't scrapped for over a month. Got deep into my genealogy and counted cross stitch then was on vacation for 8 days. There were some awesome photos posted on FB of the northern lights in Ohio (which I missed again!) so I borrowed them and made a layout. It will be inserted in my vacation album since I reference missing them again! I did note that the photos were not mine on the layout.

Template is Photo Palooza #430 by Cindy Schneider and the kit used was Stargazer Aurora by Meagan's Creations both available at Sweet Shoppe Designs. The font is Freehand591 BT. The word art was actually a sticker in the kit that I used a bevel on it.

That is a good idea, maybe I will and hopefully remember to use as well

Thanks, @Corrie Kinkel for the info on the Outdoor Cafe artist.  I redid my layout to acknowledge that the painting was Vincent Van Gogh's. And then I realize that I hadn't been acknowledging the photographers when I use family's pics. So I went back to the recent layouts and did so. Won't post them here, but I will be more mindful of that in the future.

On all the ideas on logos - I haven't begun to think of what I want to do along with the initials (I won't use my name - just initials). I have seen Susan Ewert's, @Lynda DiGregor and I remember Annie Tobin's.

This is cool, did you use cutout?

I made this following a tutorial in the Beginners Workshop which is now defunct. If @Cassel think it's okay for me to share it, I will.

Spooks/Halloween. You know it's not my festival, nor my time but I use APO and it works by random time to time. This time APO created a picture which I present you. Red spooks made by APO, white ones and spider's net created by Carole, red bricks-texture from my PSP.

Maniacs challenge this week was diamonds. How could I resist??? I made an alphabet(caps only for now) using a CF font called "Diamonx."  I added my diamond that I had made into a tube by hand since I wanted to able to move them around. I used the vectorpaint script with a brush from my stars stash. I also converted the script to a raster a blurred it a little. I also blurred the stars a little. The background was used so that the letters would be visible and is from a picture that a used a FF filter and then a multiply blend mode.

I have been following FF on FB and am finding some really nice filters.

[Corrie Kinkel]

Besides enjoying the mild weather we had this week I have been playing with the enormous amount of supplies from Anna Aspnes. First it took a while to sort through the whole bunch and watch the videos. She works with Photoshop and not all the techniques from the videos is 100% appliable to Paintshop but most of the supplies and PSD files can be used. I tried to make an artsy layout with some of the papers/overlays/ brushes and 3 of my photos from a walk in our woodland park this week. I'm not 100% happy with what I got but wanted to show it anyway before we start with the calendar workshop which will take most of my time in the coming weeks. I used a lot of blendmodes on the different parts of the layout. It certainly is another way to work and I'll have to do more of this. 

[Mary Solaas]

My last playing until the workshop beginning on Monday.

Diamonds in the sky. I have been playing. I took this moon photo this morning and added a diamond circle around the moon with  a cass diamond picture tube chain.

This is the layout I created to practice the tutorials from Lab12-Module 02  (Flash Card / Photo Prong / Worn Frame).  Sometimes, it takes longer to find a photo that I can use for a specific Module.   Again, I used 8.5x11 size.
Credits:

• Cassel— Alpha-beads Script and the Metallic-Rope12 PictureTube.  I was reminded of using this script after Julie posted a layout with Marisa Lerin's beautiful Alpha beads.
• Papers: From dunia (Lilypad) – Background: essentials_krafts_20 & Flash Card: essentials_whites_16 with a tad of Sepia Effect.
• Anna Aspnes: Art Mega Pack Freebie (Thread_ UrbanThreadz3 _UrbanThreadz3_1)
• Palvinka: Photomasks - Palvinka_MoreThanWords_photomasks_2frame

I am very much enjoying this kind of photomask with frame.  I used the photomask from Palvinka as a base for the one I created (worn frame).

Edited: I forgot to name the fonts I used.

Arista 2.0  --  LilyUPC  --  Aurellia Script

I made this for someone in the PSP Maniacs group. She realized she had pictures of both her late father and mother on the porch of their cabin. She supplied all three pictures and the quote. I colorized a paper from DiHillerDesigns and lowered the opacity over a paper from AnnieC. The mask is from Lady22 template 245 and the birds are from ALFL Blog Train Jan 2021. I made the tag using one of Cassel's edge punches; it took a long time and I patted myself on the back when I was done 😂. The text font is Melinda Script and I made the hearts using a dingbat font called Heart.
