Scrap Bootcamp - January 2019

[Rhonda]

Hey Sheila, Good idea to move the spoon to the cup and saucer.

Here's my lunch

[Guest Guest]

I'm sorry but I got carried away playing with my sandwich as I wanted to lay the table properly with a table clother and some flowers.

 

I did enjoy playing though :)

[Wanda (Sue) McGuire]

Here is my table and sandwich.  I had to have some mustard on mine and take the onions off.  I was going to add a flower but I forgot.  Hope it is not too big I did not resize it.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

I prefer the dark grey workspace. Love the napkin, Sue. Casey, I had 8" of snow to shovel...and a very large driveway. Shoveled for 2 days...most of it the first day.

 

I love meat so my sandwich is open faced with no onions and extra meat and tomatoes. Pickles on the side.

 

 

[Marlene Lingham]

I don't like pickles and onions so my sandwich is very plain.

[Michele]

I decided to have my sandwich in the backyard on the picnic table. Yes, it was cold, but I'm stubborn.

 

Ronda, you had me cracking up with the bite. lol

Has anyone received day 3 yet?

[Helen]

Hello Everyone,, Finally made it in here,  I am Helen from New Brunswick, Canada.  Married for 47 years and have three wonderful children and three grandsons..

 

I am using Paint Shop Pro 2019 (PSP 2019), have been playing around in PSP for some time but have not done any real digital scrapbooking. I am also a diamond member of the Campus.. Have used PSP to color in some black and white photos of my family. Very happy to be doing this bootcamp with you.. I am ready to learn.. Hugs to everyone.

[Debbie Pittman]

HI. I'm Debbie from western NC in the USA.

 

The thing I've appreciated the most so far was being reminded that I can enlarge the icons... much easier on my eyes. I've also enjoyed reviewing some basics. We sometimes lose the tips and hints along the way so this is great.

 

I am using 2018 PSP. I have 2019 but haven't done the upgrade on this computer yet. The light gray background is my preference now though I have been playing around with it.

 

I decided that for my plate, I wanted to dig right in so I poised the knife above the bread ready to cut it into lunch! I am right-handed so I rotated the cup for easy reach.

[Sue Thomas]

Carole you couldn't  have chose a better kit.  I had already chose my  Owl photos to use in the challenge. Here's my day 3 of the challenge.  Layers.

[Helen]

Really liked how all the sandwiches were done.. Thanks Carole for the great idea of bootcamp..

*** Day 3 was sent a few hours ago - Make sure you read the details :) ***

Homework-Day 2

 

Added a tablecloth and shadows to each layer. Usually, I would merge portions of my image then add the shadow, however, I thought I might wish to edit or delete some of the elements later on as I learn more about how the program has changed since version X. I saved in both .pspimage and .png file formats to allow this and upload to this post.

 

 

[Shannon Cooper]

Hey everyone! Loaded my homework up, then read the posts. Love seeing the different table settings from each one. Too much fun! Can hardly wait to get Day 3 started!

[Sherri Czmyr]

Hi Everyone!

 

I'm a few days late in joining and stopping by, thank you, Carole for allowing me to join.

 

If I hadn't seen a post in one of my friends in another Facebook group, I would have missed out! Debbie Hicks, hello!!

Lesson 1:

 

Light gray interface with a white background. I've kept the tools on the left and materials/layers docked on the right.

Playing catch up a little here.

 

Here's my lunch.  I was doing this tutorial while eating a sandwich...couldn't help myself.

 

On to day 3...

[AngelStarr57]

I have a question...is there a certain size that the pictures need to be? I get a pop up window on my pics and they seem really small on the page. Didn't want to go any further until I know for sure :(

[Cassel]

@Angel, are you referring to the size of a photo to place onto a layout? Knowing that the standard scrapbook page will be 3600x3600 pixels, you just have to have photos of a size that would match that. It is like using papers: it would be 12x12 inches so if you had tiny photobooth pictures, it would look small for the project.

 

If you make the rulers visible (with View > Rulers), you could have an idea of the size you need for your photo to fit in. However, if the images are separate (as opposed to one image with separate layers), then the zoom value can make one look larger or smaller than it really is. How do they look when added on the project as a new layer?

 

Does that help?

[Art Kuiper]

I thought a place mat would be a nice addition. Also I like my pickles on the side. I'm a day behind and so I get to like some of the sandwiches already posted.

[DeLoris Musick]

I'm loving seeing where everyone is from, their comments and their sandwiches.  I did not do lesson 1 & 2 because I had done them before.  Here is my lesson 3.  It is of my grandson Danny when he was a baby.  He's almost 12 now and I have to admit, I miss him being little.

 

I hope everyone is learning lots and seeing how much fun making layouts are!  Thanks Carole!

Carole....my picture on my computer says the dimensions are 960 x 720 so I guess it needs to be a little bit bigger, is that right?

[Cassel]

@Angel, that size is about one-quarter of the size of the page so it is not that small. Once you add it on the project (as a new layer), does it look too small? Sometimes, we only have small pictures, and we can definitely still make a layout with that. Give it a try and see how it turns out. You might be surprised.

[AngelStarr57]

Carole...yes it looks small to me, but it doesn't have a frame around it either or border. Here is my lesson 3. I added another photo since I thought they were kinda small. Hope that's OK? And I just now see that the bottom text really needs to be in black and not white or maybe the color of the other text :( Didn't see that until I uploaded the picture. It says RIP 01-08-2019.
