When you use the Fill tool, make sure that the Source: (in the toolbar) is set to Current Layer. It tends to default to Current Layer & Below, and in that case, it is NOT working as we would expect.

Thank you Cassel, I will have another go. A little behind at the moment as redecorating a room. But will get right on it

I do have another magazine layout to show you. This was from 2021.

This si beautiful Ann.  I never did the workshop in 2021, I thought it way above my level at the time.  I didnt know then that all Carole's classes can be done by beginners to advanced users.  I love seeing you layouts all together like that. I think I'll still need an extra week to finish.  Sigh.  Thanks for showing it, I love to see all the magazines.  And I get to arm-chair travel the world, free of charge!

Here is lesson 6.  I chose to make two sets of masks instead of all 4.  The upper photo is Christmas Seal (sent out by the Lung Association) that I've gotten over the years.  And the stamps belongs to my dad, he wasn't an avid stamp collector (his passion was coin collecting - sadly only a few coin sets remain as one of houses we lived in was robbed and most of the collection was stolen). and I forgot to add a rev. shadow frame so you could see the edges.

Lesson 7.  This one goes with Lesson 5.  These watches are from my uncle, my father in law, maybe even my dad and my husband.  I've had them for years in my craft room to use them from some craft project.  I looked at them and thought, wow, some of them are actually quite nice.  I think I will keep them.  And the other is just some glitter I have, you can never have enough glitter in your life.  I wish I had more time to make physical stuff like I used to.

Here is lesson 5 and 7 together as I had imagined for the magazine.  My big budget mag has two double page layouts - swanky!

Now onto the back cover.  And then the Alphabet Photo Challenge and then to Build A Kit and then to the Labs 🤪

I love what you are creating with your magazine, Susan, and the fonts on each page are wonderfully interesting..

Thank you Jeni.  I'm having fun, which is probably why it's taking so long 😄.  I'm glad you mentioned fonts.  Normally I'd stick to a cohesive set of 2 or 3 fonts throughout, but decided this is the Office Of Oddities so I needed to keep it odd.  Really, stamps and glitter and what-nots that I've posted are hardly odd but it's fun to pretend.

Those stamps above and your story reminds me that we had some too that we placed on cards/letters next to the real postage stamps. We often got them when you donated to a charity, but there were strong protests against this where people said: spend the money on the projects it is intended for and don't do it on such "gifts"! I haven't seen them for quite some time now.

Susan, the oddity of the fonts you have chosen makes them quite cohesive in your project. They all appear to have the same unusual features, which I enjoy.
