Hello Annie, I am happy to see your smiling photo here again! :)

 

I understand that this is not an easy time for many people, with all the limitations and burdens that covid brings, but I do hope to see you here more often, showing your beautiful work. Stay safe and well, my friend. Hugs and <3!

Thanks dear Cristina. It is a global depression that is settling in and for those of us who suffer from that dreadful malady it is like trying to stay on the surface of quicksand. I am usually able to stay in touch with my mojo but this time it appears to have ideas of its own, :( I am attending the Using Scripts in Paint Shop Pro webinar this morning so perhaps that will give me a creative boost. Lovely to hear from you my friend, stay safe and well. <3

The month is over, and I finally finished a project for this challenge.

 

Finding colors was my main problem, and I tried different options for the background: Notebook Page, Kraft Paper, different textures, etc...  I read yesterday a post from Monique (Bootcamp), where she mentioned Carole's tip to play with HSL... I gave it a try, and I liked my first attempt. The original background color was yellow and this is what I got :0

 

Carole's tutorials: Word Frame, Metallic Element, Yard Stick, and Pop Up Masterclass.

Cristina!!!!! That is an award-worthy layout. You executed everything so beautifully. And the background is perfect; it lets all the other elements, especially the pics, stand out. Pat yourself on the back.

Michele, thank you so much for your kind comment. I really appreciate it!! <3

 

If you could only have seen my struggles! LOL ... Yesterday, I was going to upload the LO with the light yellow background, although not happy, when I read the post. So, I gave it a last try, and it worked... It is not every day that the ideas come easily, but it is part of the game. :)

Dawn, thank you so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate it.  <3

 

I had the idea of using the postage stamp look on the photos watching Carole's last Masterclass "Using Scripts" when she showed the Postage Stamp Script. As I said before, the Campus and what everyone posts here is always a source of inspiration for me. :)
