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.

 

Wow, that's gorgeous, Michele! Great job!! That edge punch is particularly effective. I don't know about you, but I always pull out all the stops when I create something for someone else. They are usually my best work.

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).

 

 

 

Wow Cristina, this is beautiful.  I love this type of layout.  I'm looking forward to trying the Ann Aspnes stuff in the winter.

That is so beautiful Michele.  With those photos you really get the feeling you are there, just like your friends parents.

Cristina what a lovely layout and the rectangle format fits the frame with the mask so well. Nice to see you use Anna Aspnes' goodies too.

Michele you made a gorgeous layout for your friend! The edge punches are a nice touch. Making something special for someone else brings the best out of us all.

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. 

This has a nice dreamy quality to it. I really love it.

This was just for fun, for the husband of the woman who organizes all the heritage plaques that are being installed in our area. Jim is the background guy most of the time and does all the dog'sbody work which is why I called him a "roadie'. Caught him carrying some stuff back to the van and made him pose. He's actually a well-known historian in the area and a great speaker/storyteller at many events.

Made it as 8.5x11" so it would print for them.

This is a touching and poignant layout for your friend. What a lovely gift.

Thank you, it was my first attempt using a lot of Anna Aspnes goods and I loved playing around with them. Not all got me what I wanted to make, but I was pleasantly surprised what I could do with an ordinary photo from our woodland park. A photo that I otherwise wouldn't have used as such; probably as a background with lots of blur and blend modes that makes it unrecognizable but keeps the colors.

Thank you, Susan!  This MegaPack freebie from Anna Aspnes has so much great stuff that it's hard to choose.

Thank you, Corrie! I am slowly getting used to this new format, although I might also use a 12x12 size. Isn't Anna Aspnes' generosity amazing?  First time I saw such a huge freebie,

She seems to offer so many ways to blend photos, good ones or bad, into layouts. It's fun to explore her techniques.
