What are you working on (in March 2020)?

[Lynda DiGregor]

I have just been messing around with Cassel's bow scripts.  I have no idea what to do with all these bows but I really love the scripts.

[Sue Thomas]

Hi Lynda,  thank you for your kind comment.  I downloaded the free floppy bow.  I do like that bow.  I colourize it, and hang it over picture frames, and  tree branches.  It can take a bit of time, using the  selection tool, promoting to a new layer etc, but the end result is worth the effort.

[Sue Thomas]

Cassel's PhotoSplash script is ever so quick and easy to use, and the beauty of it is, I can edit it to my liking. I used the goose to create the background paper. Whether you are a photographer, scrapper, digital graphics artist, or an oil painter, art comes in so many different forms, and the quote I used applies to any number of us. Especially myself. Stay safe and well! Keep psping!!!

[Lynda DiGregor]

Sue,

 

Thanks for the preview of the PhotoSplash script. It looks pretty nice. I'll check it out.

 

 

[Annie Tobin]

Sue, I really do enjoy your work. For me it is the simplicity, you let the subject matter talk for itself and the information you provide is priceless. Thank you my friend, I had a wealth of eye candy this morning! <3

[Annie Tobin]

LOL! I hear you Lynda, I feel the same way and searching for the right ribbon to use for the bow is also part of the fun. Nice bows my friend. <3

[Lynda DiGregor]

Thanks Annie

 

This is my first go with the PhotoSplash script. Think I need to work at it more but here is my first effort.

[Sue Thomas]

Hi Lynda, you did a lovely job on the cone flower,  it didn't take you long to go and purchase the script. I love the brushes that came with the script too.

 

Hi Annie,  thank you for your very kind comment on my work.  I look forward to seeing  your projects which include  masks and the blend mode.   You  take care, and stay safe.  X

Thanks so much for your kind words, Sue. I just posted on the random challenge thread that I simply can't give my creativity, such as it is, the attention needed to produce anything right now. I'm too stressed out about what's going on here in NY. Been spending my time trying to distract myself doing online jigsaw puzzles and binge watching Netflix. This will pass and I'll be back. In the meantime, I check in here all the time and the projects everyone is sharing are making me smile. :)

[Cristina]

Hi Everyone! You all are creating lovely and diversified work. It is a joy to look to each and all of them, and also the touching stories. <3

 

Like Michele, I am not feeling very creative lately. I am trying for days to come up with something for the Scavenger Hunt Challenge. Only yesterday I finally managed to choose a photo for it. :0

 

Better days will come, meanwhile, as Sue always says, let's try to be busy psping!

 

Stay safe and healthy. Best wishes to all of you :)

[Lynda DiGregor]

Hey Sue,

 

Thanks for the heads up on the brushes included with the PhotoSplash Script. I didn't realize there were brushes too. That's what happens when you don't read the instructions.  :-) I installed the brushes and tried the script with the brushes. Here's what I came up with.

[Sue Thomas]

Well, really Lynda!  Consider yourself reprimanded for not reading the instructions. ??  You did a lovely job on  the flower.

[Lynda DiGregor]

I was trying out the "reflection" module in Creative scrap. What I came up with. Not perfect but the technique is interesting.. practice, practice, practice!

 

I've posted the original photo and two versions of the reflections

[Lynda DiGregor]

Thankyou, Sue...I need a slap on the hand every once in awhile.. :-)

Hi everyone ... I hope you are all staying safe and healthy. And I hope you all have food. :( I would bring it to you myself if I could. I have been playing this morning as all the chores are done. I am after "getting the process down" and not so much on content with this one. So ... I followed Shirley's suggestion and went to unsplash. Wow - enough there to keep you busy forever! And large ones, too! So I found a lovely one of an owl. Then I wanted to practice all the things Cassel has taught us ... so I changed the image to not really a cartoon look but pretty close by using the add remove noise, edge preserve, edge effects find all and then adjust and then the blend. Tried a slew of them until I got the ones I liked. Made a couple textured overlays, used the stitch brush that I made watching her class ... I don't know what else because I didn't write them down. But a whole bunch of stuff I gleaned off of her classes went into the tag just so I could use them. That's the only way I will remember them ... is TO DO THEM. I would suggest if anyone, like me, who doesn't have a lot of big pictures, which I don't - try out Shirley's suggestion. You can get lost just looking there. :) Have a good weekend everyone.

[Minka]

Oh yeah ... I remember now ... one other thing was PUT THE TEXT inside the selection box. :) And just like she showed, I had

it all ready to go typed out on something else. I guess my noggin' hasn't turned to total mush yet. LOL

[trish williams]

Hi All, hope you are all coping with this virus, its so scary, and although I spend most of my days alone, I feel quite isolated now, are you all in lock down.  you have all been so busy,and so many interesting effect.  I feel like Michele at the Mo. and just peer at a blank screen, still it has given  me a chance to put those files in order.

Well this one is a bit on the dark side, I guess matches my mood at the mo.  I used a mask and layered it with paint effects add 2 elements  and a border to finish xx  keep well and safe xx

[Annie Tobin]

Lynda and Sue, you have both inspired me to have a play with the paint splash script which I purchased yesterday ... just can't help myself, lol!

[Minka]

I tried making lace today .. oh my gosh, I got laughing at how long it took me. Again, I wasn't after content so much as getting the process down. My lace looks a little loopy but it's done. What a neat trick at the end to make it round. Loved it. When Cassel does it, it looks so easy. NOT! Eventually, I was successful.

[Annie Tobin]

Dark days for dark projects Trish my friend ... you have done well. I hope you are staying safe, best wishes Hon.

Minka, your play has been a joy to view, well done and thank you! <3

[Annie Tobin]

I found this wonderful photo of a puffin on Unsplash while I was searching seabirds.  Of course I had to do something with it.  The layout I used was inspired by one of Marisa Lerin's from Pixel Scrapper.  I used Cassel's paint splash script on the photo and her cube beads script for the title.  The flair button and the sticker were both created from tutorials by Cass.  All the background papers are my own as is the paint splash background.  Thanks for takin a peek!

[Lynda DiGregor]

Annie,

 

Your Puffin is so cute. Great job using the paint splash script. The whole thing just looks great.

 

 

[Lynda DiGregor]

I have so many photos from our winter away so I'm trying to use some of them. I was making some Meli-Melo Paper using some photos from Arizona so here is a simple scrap page.

[Lynda DiGregor]

Minka,

 

You are certainly telling the story of our woes in a fabulously artistic way. Wonderful work.

One serious page done for the family scrap album. This goes into Vacations.  John's sister came down from the North Carolina mountains to join us on the beach . She was a devotee of Edgar Cayce (an American self-professed clairvoyant who gave more than 14,000 psychic readings while allegedly in a self-induced sleep state . Cayce maintained his subconscious mind (which he identified as the "mind of the soul") would leave his body and retrieve knowledge from the spiritual realm where all subconscious minds are connected .) and wanted to visit his Society on the oceanfront. There was a lovely garden there, so we paused for some pictures.
