What are you working on (in March 2021)?

[Bonnie Ballentine]

OK...here's another layout using pickleball. I will post this in the self-care thread also. Part of self-care is relieving stress and doing what makes you happy...

[Bonnie Ballentine]

A non-pickleball page...these crocus volunteered in my lawn. Sadly, they are now gone.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

One more non-pickleball...Poppy and Penny will do tricks for treats...sit, shake, sit up, high five and ring a bell...I have not been able to teach them to speak yet...working on it. In this layout they are sitting up...can't tell because I cropped the photo...

[Michele]

You've been busy, Bonnie. I can't believe you were able to train your cats!

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Michele, it began with Poppy, the tabbyco. She loves grass and will do anything to get some. That was her motivation. She is a smart kitty but it's the treat and especially grass. Fresh, soft blades of grass. Penny spent the first several years on her own pretty much. She was very thin when she was rescued. She will do anything for food...and grass. She watched Poppy earning treats and taught herself the tricks. In fact, she is often faster than Poppy to perform and receive a treat.

I'm obsessed--more mandalas

[Lynda DiGregor]

Michele,

 

Even though you explained your process I don't get how you got such a great result. Keep making things up as you go along. Seems to work!

[Minka]

I FINALLY had my first Covid shot yesterday. I planned on not doing anything today ... just in case. But happy to say not a darn thing happened. My arm isn't even sore. Happy camper with that! I was fooling around with some of the "freebies" Carole offers on her blog and one of them was the Projections. She kindly did not merge them ... and the summer one sang to me as the blue was the "Grabber Blue" of Mustang fame. If you have ever owned a Mustang, you will always be sorry you parted with it. I've had other sporty cars, but that Mustang lives on in my heart. If only I knew how I would miss it. I love her word frame round script, too. Mindless playing and remembering the old days. :)

[Anne Lamp]

Not that these are as great and complicated as Michele's background she created, But I wanted to show a sample of some of the stuff that can be done with the pic to painting plug in on a more or less plain background.  For some reason it didn't do much when using the original blue color.  I was just having fun playing around a while back.

[Annie Tobin]

Anne, Hawaii Dreaming is just that ... dreamy, well done my friend. ;)

[Bonnie Ballentine]

Minka, love the Mustangs! You are correct...you always regret letting one go...I miss mine too!

[Lynda DiGregor]

Minka, love your mustang. We had a 69 which I would have preferred the 68. Was up to my mom at the time so it is what it is. My favorite was my Fiat 850 Spider. OMG had so much fun in that car. California dreaming!

[Annie Tobin]

Cool pages Bonnie, although you look like you are sweating up a storm. Crocuses are so pretty and don't last anywhere near long enough to continue to enjoy their beauty. Your Poppy, Penny page is terrific fun and cool background page my friend. ;D

[Annie Tobin]

Lynda, still lovin your mandalas, very cool my friend. ;)

[Annie Tobin]

You have done it proud Minka, almost looks like an official ad for the Mustang, love it my friend. ;)

[Annie Tobin]

Very good samples Anne. Pic to Painting is a good plugin. Enjoyed viewing my friend. ;)

[Annie Tobin]

Michele, doesn't matter how you got there this is a fantastic background. Keep on playing around my friend, you are an inspiration. ;)

[Michele]

Thanks so much for your kind words, Lynda and Annie. They mean so much.

 

Lynda, you are tempting me with that mandala script. It looks like so much fun.

 

Anne, playing is the best way to learn, after Cassel's classes, of course. I have had more happy accidents than I can remember.

 

I LOVED my mustang, Minka. Ford might just want to use your page!

[Lynda DiGregor]

This is nothing to do with PSP but I found it so cool that I had to share. Saw it on channel 9 news this morning. Check it out

Snagged another Corel freebie; a template called Colorful Cubes. I inserted some of Debbie Lennox's black and white linocuts. (Deb is my oldest daughter). I couldn't see adding any further embellishment. The templates are 2400 x 1800 but I reduced it to 900 x 600 to post here.

 

Right now Deb is showing in a gallery in Los Angeles, the first outside her home county of Mendocino, CA.

Lynda - Those were all utterly fascinating! I was transfixed with wonder at the skill there! I am sure it displays from some very specialized programming, but the whole idea of thinking them up and the skill necessary in bringing them to fruition is awesome. It might not have been PSP related, but thank you for sharing! Loved it!

Shirley - beautiful colors and layout of your daughter dancing

[Val]

Ann S - Wow. What a cool mandalas. Love the flowers.

[Val]

Lynda - Your sun sure did make me smile and I like your flowers and banners.

[Val]

Michele - They are gorgeous pages and I have to say I like the calm indoors is my favorite.
