Looking forward to working with double pages. I just came home from my granddaughters bridal shower and have about 25 photos to use in a layout, so maybe that will work. We'll see....

[Bonnie Ballentine]

I did a double page challenge a few years ago. Looking forward to this one. Thank you, Carole!

[Cristina]

Like Bonnie, I have participated in this challenge before; every time is an opportunity to do things differently and relearn what I have forgotten. Happy to participate again.

[Sue Thomas]

All I can say is that I endorse what Bonnie and Cristina has already said.  I hope that I can  complete the challenge, as  Spring is certainly under way here.

[Corrie Kinkel]

I'm looking forward to this challenge and it is a first for me, althought the travel challenge of last year also had the opportunity of double pages. I'm not sure what my subject will be, have to think about that.

[Jnet Allard]

I do not know if I have already done this challenge. I can't wait to start even though I don't know what my topic will be

[Anne Lamp]

I have so many great pictures from various vacations, I think these will be what I want to use for the double pages.  I can't wait to get started on this challenge.

Hi everyone,  I have never created a digital double page so I am excited to start and stretch my boundaries on my creativity.  I also cant wait to see every one elses creativity in how they create their pages.

[Shirley]

Back again for this one. Hi everyone.

Corrie: I did the vacation challenge last year as my introduction to the Campus. It was a true challenge to post my work because I had to split each page in half to meet the 600px posting requirements. I had not planned the pages that way to start so I had to do a lot of maneuvering. Not sure if that was actually required. What did  you do with the 7200 x 3600 pages? Here's an example of one of my pages from last year reduced to 600 x 300.

Hi all :)

 

I'm joining in too, hope I will manage to keep up with the challenge, stil have to finish the last project of the study group.

 

I think this challenge will be about the pets we had over the years, nice way to honour and remember them. We now still have a dog and one cat. (At one time we had 7! cats at the same time :)

 

 

 

Nice to "see" familiar faces here, we are almost like family here :)

Hi this is my second big Challenge. My theme is "Finding Beauty". I love being out in nature, I love trying to capture beautiful moments in photographs. The pictures I have taken over the years. I plan on featuring some of my daughter's poetry with my pictures.

 

Carole, I really like your template for the first page but I don't think it is available anymore. Off the top of your head, do You know of a similar template out there. If not, no worries, I will put the time into research. Thanks, Laurie

[MoniqueN.]

Laurie, I just downloaded the template?

[laurie solaas]

Carole, I just have a question. I have decided to create my own template. Do my layers need to be Raster or Vector Layers? Thanks, Laurie

[Cassel]

Laurie, the template is available there. I just checked. It does not direct to her blog anymore so she gave me a direct link to download it.

 

As for your other question, your layer will need to be a raster. You can create shapes with a vector shape, so the layer will be vector, but you will need to convert it to raster before continueing.

[Sue Thomas]

Laurie, your layers will be raster. When you create masks, the mask layer will open as a raster layer. If you are going to create rectangles or circles using the  rectangle/ellipse tool, they are created as vectors, so you'll have to promote them to a raster  to change them into  a mask.

[Sue Thomas]

Laurie, I now see Carole pipped me to the post, so to speak, we must have been replying to your question at the same time. ?

[laurie solaas]

Thankyou! I don’t know how I overlooked the template. I just about have a template complete. So I will carry on. Thanks for the answers!

[Corrie Kinkel]

Ann, I did my pages so I could split them for posting. It was a bit of a challenge because it was also my first one, but I had done the Basic Scrap Course on my one (I wished we had the studygroup then). This is one of the really double ones. See you, I'm almost finished with day 1, but I'll post it tomorrow; it's after midnight overhere.

[Sue Thomas]

It looks I'm going to be the first to post day 1 of the Double Take Challenge.  Taking into account that I didn't need to  create the masks, as I have done  this challenge before.  I did modify the pages to suit the photos.  The cow and now a yearling Moose visit  the trees out back occasionally, I also see them  around and about, they really do cover a lot of ground with their long legs in search of  food.  They stayed for 3 nights and 3 days, when I took these photos, and hundreds more during that time, on the 30th March -1 April.  I didn't invade their space,  and through their occasional visit, the  mother had grown to tolerate my presence, and appeared to be quite comfortable having me  around.  Always keeping a  large tree between them and myself. It's common sense to avoid females with calves and yearlings, as well as  bulls in the Autumn rut. We have Willow trees, which they are very partial to. Where we live, they don't have any predators.  Only humans,  and over the years their numbers have  decreased, yet the conservation officers continue to issue tickets  to hunters, to enable them to  hunt them.  Along with loss of habitat.

[Sue Thomas]

Some of you will have seen these pages, which I  created for the  first Challenge I did in 2018.  Hard to believe it was that long ago. One year I documented the  life cycle of the ladybird, all four stages.  Egg, Larva, pupa, and adult. They are at their most venerable, while they wait for their spots to change colour and harden, which can take up to 2 hrs.  Macro photography.

[Sue Thomas]

Corrie, well done, a beautiful, lively colourful page. I love the addition of the beads, in matching  colours to the photos used.
