What are you working on (in August 2020)?

[Lynda DiGregor]

We had some pretty rough weather in Crystal Lake on the 10th. Thirty years here and we've never have had the lights out for more than 15 minutes. This time was a bit different. Five hours, lights out! We felt the need for some illumination so we pulled out our dust covered candle collection. Thought I'd share it with you.

[Karon Dey]

Glad you finally got your lights back on Lynda. Do know how that is. Love the layout.

[Cristina]

I was away from the Forum for a few days, and coming here, I see so much creativity!

 

Blending and Texturing; Beautiful Cake; Ice Cream - Pickleball -  Friends; Cute Cats named Poppy and Penny;  Dragonfly Ribbons; Home-canned Vegetables/Split Photos; A lovely Story about a Woodchuck (what I only knew before as groundhog), and last but not least, Candles!

 

Wow, fabulous work, Nemisis, Sheila, Bonnie, Corrie, Lynda, and Minka!

[Michele]

Oh, Lynda, what a lovely page. And you arranged them with a photographer's eye.

I lost a very dear friend yesterday. This was my way of coping.

[Cristina]

Sorry for you loss, Michele. :(  You really honor your friend with this lovely layout.

[Lynda DiGregor]

Michele, So sorry for your loss of Smitty. Looks like he was a pretty special guy.

Karon, Cristina and Michele',

 

Thanks for your kind words.

 

Michele, you found an interesting way to do the split frame with your remembrance of Smitty. I think I'll have to copy your technique.

[Corrie Kinkel]

While waiting for the Story Time Challenge to start I am experimenting a bit and this is a layout I did with  a slat! Something I never used before. The photo is from a walk in a nearby forest and heather area. For those of you who live in USA, Canada, Australia the dimensions of this forest will be nothing like those in your countries! But it is still a nice place to go for a two or three hours walk. I also used the cluster template from Carole. We are having a heatwave at the moment so I'm not doing very much at all besides waiting for it to pass!

[AprilDawn]

Michele... so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear friend Smitty...   you created a lovely remembrance  page of him. friends and loved ones and the memories shared together will always remain in our hearts.

 

best wishes to you my friend,

 

Dawn.

[AprilDawn]

Lynda, Bonnie , Corrie and Minka...  enjoyed viewing each of your projects... well done!

 

best wishes ,

 

Dawn.

 

 

[Michele]

Thank you for all your kind words, everyone. I'm absolutely devastated as are so many others who loved him.

Here is the layout I created to practice the tutorials from the Lab10-Module 7 (Negative Effect - Layered Shape - Clapperboard). It was fun, and every time I practice new tutorials and participate in the challenges, I learn a little bit more.

 

The negative effect (arrow) is very subtle because I thought the layout was already too busy with all the patterned papers.

 

I used the template from the Lab5-Module10, tweaking a bit to suit my needs.

What a wonderful layout, Cristina.

[Cristina]

Dear Michele, thank you so much for your kind comment. :) As always, it is very much appreciated. <3

[Corrie Kinkel]

As a quit like making cards I made this one just for fun while waiting for the next challenge to start tomorrow. I used the Vector Spiral Script which I found in the Featured Resources. I placed the text on the spiral and hid the spiral itself. It says congratulations in Dutch. The sunflower photo is mine as always, the frame was a freebie of Carole sometime ago.

 

It is a double card but you cann't see that very well because the background is white, but I use it to print and send to some one by oldfashioned mail!

[AprilDawn]

Hello Cristina you have created a great layout and the girls look very happy..

 

best of wishes to you,

 

Dawn

[AprilDawn]

Hello Corrie.. your card is very nice and I am sure it will be well received... glad you like making cards and  printing them out to send by mail... card making is my main hobby  and  you can create really nice cards  using PSP.

 

best of wishes,

 

Dawn.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Once again, I am blown away by the creativity all of you display. Well done, Everyone!

 

This page has been waiting a long time to be completed. My friend competed in 3 South Carolina Senior Games, winning 3 gold in horseshoes and 2 gold and 1 silver in pickleball.

One hike...4 pages...3 of them with this tree.

[Cristina]

Very nice card, Corrie. I like how you used the Vector Spiral Script with the sunflower.

 

Hello, Dawn. :) Thank you so much for your comment. It is always appreciated, my friend. <3 ... Best wishes to you!

 

Bonnie, you've been busy! The layouts are lovely. I am sure your friends love it when you show them what you do with the pictures.

[Michele]

I used the template from Lab 06 Mod 03 to make my gaming group's daily pic today. The font is White Horse which I got from a Creative Fabrica free font bundle about a year ago. Hope you enjoy it.
