Scrap Bootcamp - March 2025

[Cassel]

 

First of all, come and say HI once you register for this Bootcamp.

We want to know who else will be there, on our side to cheer everyone up.

Everyone started as a beginner, so don't ever compare yourself to others. You will learn one tool at a time, one concept at a time and you will create one project at a time. Everyone will have different photos and possibly different supplies so every project will be different.

Once the Bootcamp is started, on March 17th, 2025, you can post your projects in here.

Remember to resize your images to about 600 pixels AND save them in jpg format, before uploading them to the gallery (check this tutorial to upload to the gallery) so it won't slow down the site when we have lots of your masterpieces. Try to follow the tutorials at least enough so that we can recognize what lesson you completed.

Now, let's get ready!

If you missed the registration link or if you found this thread before I announced it (some people are very observant), HERE it is. Share it around if you want.

Although this Bootcamp is mostly meant to help beginners, we won't exclude anyone for "excess experience". Some participants are back for a second (or third) round. You are always welcome. Remember that it will be the exact same tutorials so don't be surprised. I am sure you will now do something slightly different than the previous time.

Since anyone can follow the whole Bootcamp using the trial version of PaintShop Pro, this is a perfect opportunity for anyone to give it a try and see how they like the program, so share with your friends who MIGHT consider using PaintShop Pro.

The 7 tutorials will be spaced out over almost 2 weeks. This should make it easier for participants to follow without feeling stressed (it should never be stressful!).

This bootcamp will use PaintShop Pro, and NOT Affinity.

I'm in.  I'm hoping to use the bootcamp to re-boot my creativity.  Carole, when I used the link in the email I just received it took me to the January Bootcamp page.  I havent decided on photo's yet.  I have a sort of idea, but I need to photograph stuff for it.  I'm glad the Bootcamp is 14 days, maybe I'll actually get to finish it, since I'm way behind in two other workshops, long past (Paper WS and Build A Kit).   I think I'll be using 2022 because I'm having the same problems as everyone was describing (wrong layers being selected, or if I hide a layer it hides another layer instead and just lots of random shut downs).  I will use it for the blend modes though.

Thanks. I fixed it now.

I'm in, too. I have heaps of photographs, it is a matter of deciding which folder to use this time.

[Ann Seeber]

I will be attending, also. I never miss this class. I like seeing if I can help the newbies with the mysterious sandwich! 😉

I have finished customizing the Workspace:  large icon size; large text size; light gray workspace color; unchecked Tabbed Documents; have Rulers checked;set Edit tab as default; and changed to Use classic Material Palette.  I still need to find a picture to use - looking for that now.

[Ann Seeber]

I have not received the first lesson, which went over customizing the workspace. I see Bee Kelly must have gotten it but not me. Hoping I'm on the email list @Cassel

Did you register? I don't see your name in the list for this Bootcamp.

Either you didn't register, or it had a typo maybe?

Sorry, I thought I did but I don't see a confirmation. I just went and registered, for sure!

[Bee Kelly]

Thought I was registered.  Sorry if I missed that step.  I'm still finding my way.

So pleased you are sorted now, Ann, we couldn't do this without seeing how you create your sandwich this time
