Annie Tobin Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Hello Scrapbook Campers. I posted this a couple of hours ago but it has not shown up so I am posting again ... now 2 will probably appear ... isn't that the way of it? I just wanted to say thanks to Sue for the beautiful wordart. Fingers crossed this time ... Thanks for takin a peek! :D
Annie Tobin Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Corrie I had posted a response to your lovely page and it was another that did not show. A simple page that carries a delightful message and ... I love the colours and the corners my friend. Well done. ;D
Sue Thomas Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 You are most welcome Annie. I love what you did with the wordart. Steven also used my word art, and posted on facebook. Your page is beautiful, with your character showing through. Lively. I wish with you a Happy, healthy, safe and creative new year my friend. Let the fun of creating awesome pages continue into 2021.
Annie Tobin Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 And so say all of us! You are welcome Sue. ;D
Sue Thomas Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 I felt I had to end 2020 with a page which included a bird photo. A shot took the other day. The majority of Robins migrate south to warmer climes. Although there are some that decide to stay, and they do ok in a Canadian winter. I added the background photo if anyone would like to download it to use. You'll find it in the Facebook page.
Cristina Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Everyone has posted spectacular work! Sometimes I repeat myself, but it is because you all create amazing stuff, going in all directions. Great work!
Cristina Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Carole and Scrapbook Friends, I want to wish all of you a Happy, Healthy, and Joyful 2021. May the New Year bring a Smile and Hope of a better future to Everyone. <3
Ann Seeber Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Thanking Sue Thomas for the snowy background photo, which now has a Gaussian blur, this New Year's wish is made of clip-art freebies from Corel, with the addition of some picture tube flares.
Minka Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Best of wishes to all of you at the Campus. May all your New Year's be slated with good things, health and prosperity. Probably most of us will be ringing in the new year in a more solitary way ... but it still is a New Year. Hopefully will bring new Hope. Be well.
Ann Seeber Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Watch out for the fireworks!! The gnomes are getting feisty for New Years!!
Corrie Kinkel Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Thank you Annie, I treated myself to this very nice corner flowerpunches from Carole as well as the maskmaker script! I think I will use those often. Espacially the maskmaker script because I'm no good with extractions, my hand is to shaky for that. But with this script I can get round it! Your page is also very nice with the wordart from Sue. I have downloaded it, maybe for use in the next year. I'm finished now with all the christmas and new year cards and so on. I look forward to new projects!
Sue Thomas Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 My first layout in 2021. Snowflakes merged with the frame is a font. Perspective. Extracted the other Blue Jay by using a mask. Winter flowers by creative fabrica. You don't have to be young to catch snowflakes on the tongue, I still do it!
Sue Thomas Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Corrie, I have all of Carole's corner punches, and they get used a lot. I'm sure you'll be visiting the store again to get more of them. I used the snowflake corner punches in my Robin project the other day by using the eraser tool. Lots of great projects have been posted in the past couple of days. Great work everyone. Cristina, Happy New Year to you too my friend.
Ann Seeber Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I want to pass on a final heartfelt thought for the New Year, written by the author Neil Gaiman in his newsletter this week. I copied and pasted the text and photo and gave it a frame. Thank you, Neil.
Annie Tobin Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 A beautiful photo Sue and you have showcased it amazingly. Well done my friend. I always look forward to sharing my morning cuppa with your projects ... gives me a buzz for the day, ;D I wish you all the very best for this year dear Sue. Your love of photography and the end results reflect where your heart is at. So ... may there be many amazing photo shoots ahead for you my friend and may the joy it gives you know no bounds. :)
Annie Tobin Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Thanks very much dear Cristina. Here in Australia we are into our 3rd day of January 2021 and the news from around the world is as daunting as it has been for the past 9 months. Queensland appears to be faring very well but NSW and Victoria are copping a hammering with COVID. I guess we can't expect an instant change just because the calendar has rolled over ... silliness really. Maybe we just need to go with the flow and find new avenues of coping ... it is the technological age after all. Much love sweet Cristina and may 2021 be a year of pleasant and unexpected surprises for you and yours. ;D
Annie Tobin Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Ann, a beautiful and heartfelt letter from Neil. The sentiments stirred my heart. The page you created is so very simple and mightily effective. Well done my friend. I love all your pages and your improvement since you landed on this stage is worthy of an Oscar. I wish for you and yours all the best that this year can offer and may the kindness in your heart be reciprocated by all who come in contact with you. I know I have felt it, thank you. ;D
Annie Tobin Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Thanks dear Minka. You have created a lovely NY page and it would appear that time is of the essence! May 2021 be a kind year for you and yours my friend. I think that as we adjust to this unexpected change we may surprise ourselves with our underlying capabilities. I wish for you a year ahead of love, laughter and unexpected delights. ;D
Annie Tobin Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Dear Corrie, I hear what you are saying and undoubtedly Carole will have some cool projects in store for us. I wish for you and yours a wonderful year ahead. It may not be all that you had hoped for but you are an artist my friend and that means you are very adaptable. Exploring those capabilities within yourself may be all that you need to bring forth the happiness, love, and peace that you deserve my dear friend. Much love. ;D
Corrie Kinkel Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Sue, you are right I have all of those cornerpunches on my wishlist along with more scripts. I'm building my collection and buy a couple every month or so. And I know what to ask for my birthday in april. Annie, you always manage to cheer me up, thank you and much love to you too!
Annie Tobin Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Masks in PSP are wonderful things. Usually if I want an image to blend into the background I will do a misted tube, pixel range of feathering depends on how far out I wish to extend and how much of the image I want to retain. I have been playing with Cassel's Maskmaker Script and it is wonderful. I also discovered that a mask can make a grungy and funky frame. In this example I have used white as the frame colour but that will obviously be a personal choice. I did the select all, float, defloat on the masked image and then extended the selection by 50 pixels ... again a personal choice ... then added a new raster layer under the image and flood filled with the white. I like the effect but there is always room for improvement. Great webinar this morning Carole, thank you ... lots to take in and put to good use. ;D P.S. The image is from Unsplash and is of the Cassowary ... a large flightless bird from North Queensland ... and yes, you had better be wary as they are a dangerous bird. :-(
Annie Tobin Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 This one is because I wanted to create a funky background using overlays ... of which, I have hundreds. It doesn't seem to matter how many I have I still want to create more! The image of the rose was a freebie on the web which I masked with my own mask. I then selected and extended the selection to 50 pixels, added a new layer below the image, flood filled, deselected and then added a gaussian blur. The smaller rose and the one below the main image were created from scripts. The doily/lace I created a long time ago following a tutorial for anniversary lace. It was created by using a corner and the kaleidoscope tool I think. The poem is by Hafiz a Persian poet born in the 14th century The part I did not create is the ribbon side border which is a tube I have had forever from bld_pam??? Thanks for takin a peek!
Ann Seeber Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Annie: Thank you so much for your kind words. I want to reach across the internet and give you a big hug (the only safe kind right now! ;-) )
Val Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Happy New Year Sue T: The blue jay page is gorgeous. I love how you did insert and had the birds look at each other. Ann S: What a great New Year's thought. I enjoyed the stars in the background photo. Annie T: Thanks for showing how you used mask with the Cassowary. Your roses are beautiful. Did you write the script yourself? The roses it made are great. Still working on the Lab lessons!
Annie Tobin Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 I felt it dear Ann ... thank you and right back at ya. ;D
