Lydia Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Nice to make your own background paper with simular colours as the photo used! Cassel thanks for showing how to adjust the space between the lines. This is our granddoughter (with great love) at the age of 15 months ... a couple of years ago.

Minka Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Yeah ... I got the kaleidoscope, but mine came out too small. Will have to play with that some more. Fun to learn, but I can see, just like any other "project" it's all about the tools, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Let me introduce you to Tomi! He's still going strong. I was given his mother just before she gave birth to a litter. Tomi being one of the kittens. She was jet black in colour, 4 of the kittens were tabby, and then there was Tomi. She became pregnant again, so I gave her to a neighbour. I kept Tomi and one of his sisters, she went off and didn't come back 4 yrs ago. Tomi is strictly an outdoor cat. He behaves more like a dog, comes when he's called, and constantly talks to me. I used the kaleidoscope pattern in the frame . I wasn't quite happy with the colour of it, so used the colourize tool. The background paper was created using an overlay.

shutterpixi Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 My Day 3. This Killdeer was one of several walking around our yard. I played around with lots of colors, patterns, textures and effects/plugins to get the background for this. I made my own mask and frame, and chose bevel # 6 for the border. The font I used is Qwerty Ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Gifford Cook Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Here is my day 3 post. In keeping with the Niagara Falls theme it is a picture of the falls from our restaurant at night. The Kaleidoscope was created from part of a picture of all of us on the boat (earlier in the day) with our red raincoats on. It's a little busy, but it shows the kaleidoscope effect so I'm keeping it for now. Now I'll try to create the plaid pattern from yesterday (day 2).

Leslie Gifford Cook Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Well, here is my attempt at a plaid background. I thought I'd try to recreate my Grandmother's "McArthur" plaid/tartan. I need to spend much more time on it, but I think I'm on the way. The yellow should be consistent all the way around and the grey should be a combination of grey and black.

Barbara Hall Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sue Thomas: thanks so much for your very detailed description of techniques you used. I really appreciate it. Lynda: Though you wouldn't know it from my scrapbook pages, my main interest in photography is photographing birds. The lens I've used most is one that zooms to 250mm, but I wanted to be able to get more detailed shots and I have a limited budget. I ended up getting a bridge camera (Canon PowerShot SX60HS) which zooms to forever. I'm so happy with it. I'm able to get really good close-up shots of birds that I couldn't get with my regular zoom lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish williams Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 here is my page 3. This page was inspired by Annie, your tag reminded me of a jester pattern, then this page Carole labeled Joker, and we are nearly at mardi Gras. Cause here in UK Mardi Gras is Shrove Tuesday to us, so this should be a picture of pancakes. Picture i have had for a couple of years, the back ground paper I used and swirl effect, beads also from my stock as is the face mask. Mask was was pixel scrappers . x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Hall Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Day 3 project. I'm so happy to know how to use a mask like this. I have tried uploading them to PSP and using them with the "load/save mask" option under layers, but many of those masks, if loaded at their original size, load in the upper left-hand corner of the page which is a pain. Cassel: Yes, the "select none" option was what I needed. Quite honestly, I don't find using the shortcut methods any easier to use than what you refer to as the long way, maybe because I don't have to remember anything. All I have to do is look at my choices and select. Who knows? I put a small drop shadow under three of the elements on this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy Jentoft Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I still fumble repeatedly even with written directions and watching the lesson repeatedly but it is coming along slowly this time I just used one of my old papers and one from a kit that was use din the basic course. it looked kind of flat so I came up with a way to fake having a drop shadow on the mask.

Annie Tobin Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 A beautiful page Jnet, hibiscus are a beautiful flower and you have presented it in all the glory it is due. Your background paper is a delight. Well done Hon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Day 3 and still having issues with the masks. I don't know why as I have done it a few times now. At least this one came to me easier. The process is quite intense though. Pixel scrapper, what a great site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Tobin Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sue, you have created a delightful page for Tomi. I like that you used the kaleidoscope pattern for the frame. I am yet to try it but I have never been happy with anything I have created using the kaleidoscope or pattern tool in psp. Anyways, well done my friend and again your photography is faultless. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Thomas Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Annie, thank you very much for your very kind comment on the Tomi page. As for the kaleidoscope tool, I must admit, it's not a favourite tool of mine. I use the random, in the hope that I get a pattern that I will like. If I like the pattern, the colour will be not to my liking, which is what happened with this one, hence using the colourize tool, to get the desired colour, to go with the page. I really reduced the size of the pattern though. You create fabulous pages, although I'm not a scrapbooker, I commend you on your subject to detail, from co ordinating colours, to precise shadowing. Well done my dear friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
