I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the vector tube and finished my day 6

Thank you for this class! Also, for your Black Friday classes! I just viewed "A Beautiful Mess," and the mention of Brusheezy.com alone was worth it, as it got me free watercolor brushes. Which I used to create this:

Finally got lesson 7 finished I used papers from DCS Artsy mars24 and elements from vecteezy. Used my own photos , added a stich tube around the letters I was going to use the rope but couldn't get it to work in 2023 had one of those glitches and had to shut it down ended up redoing it in x5. Tango and tara stayed with us 4 days out of 7 as my son and his wife both worked,we loved having them stay.

My day 6

My lesson 6. Revisited my earlier "cruising" theme. I found I had a gold rope picture tube and I just used Arial Rounded MT Bold for the letters.

now the next layouts 3 4 5

With this layout I combined day 6 with the Song Challenge from this week and I'll post it over there too. I used the template for this 6th day and the papers are from Jessica Dunn - Wild-Wood-Thicket. The enamel leaf and the smaller leaves are from her too in Autumnbramble . The leaves scatter is made with my own picture tubes, the photo is by me and the ropes are from Carole but I have recolored them to go with my colors.

Day 4 This one took me a couple of days to play with. The colours just didn't seem to work for me, so many changes later, and I went with summer colours, the sun, and the blue sky. Coopers Creek is outside of Invercargill, the southernmost city in New Zealand, and about a half-hour west of where I live. As teens, we would head out there to party and I had no idea there was a small village there, until recently. This lighthouse building really appealed to me. I'm unsure what it is; and it could be a children's playhouse. The sun paper and the daisy came from Janet Kemp at DigitalScrapbook, the quote is one Marisa Lerin had created and I used the quote itself.

Here is my day 4. Papers and scatters are from Digital Scrapbooking.The fonts are from CF:Cat Mischievous and Blinten. Photos of Siegfried are mine. I caught him sleeping so peacefully, until I woke him up as I was taking his picture. He was not amused.

Here is my lesson 7. Sort of a different valentine. I added the outlines because I think it makes it look like a travel brochure!

Lesson 7 I started out with the template and then deviated from there. The sunflower is extracted and is the what the front side looks like (as compared to the back side on lesson 6). I didn't even know it was growing in the sunflower patch until I went down to the end of the yard and saw two of these odd looking fluffy sunflowers. Font is called "The Metal," not sure if It's Google fonts or Creative Fabrica. the background was a gradient I added texture to. The frame is beveled and was a pattern in PSP. I find the word sunflower not that readable and the big sunflower is quite distracting. I wanted to see how this would end up. PSP behaved beautifully for this layout and any epic bouts of stupidity was all me. Thank you Carole, for another wonderful workshop. I had forgotten most of what we learned in the workshop.

The challenge on PSP maniacs is lens flare and I made this for that sight and figured I might as well post it here too.

I did not have time to complete layouts but I did manage to eventually complete the actual text component of each lesson.... I had a little time today and decided to put them on a single layer and post them - D3 -text wrapping is not included. D1 being raindrops is filled from the top down and font is Wide Latin - D2 Fonts are S Black chancery - T Bodoni classic - O Castellar - R Broadway - Y Brock Script - T Charrington pos - I Nsimsun - M everything holiday - E Maple leaf. D 4 Arial - D5 ? - D6 Twack (given the reduced size the rope outline is not really obvious here) - D7 Fatty I enjoyed all the layouts presented in this workshop, they are very inspired and inspiring! Thank you Carole.

I finally got day 6 done. When I saw Carole's rope, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Still have #7 to do. I'm really having to dust the cobwebs off to get these done which is why I took the class! The two little graphics are free clip art from a Google search.

OKAY - 5. Not happy with it, but it is what it is! I took this picture when Laurie and I visited San Francisco and there were a lot of sailboats on the Bay

mijn 4 de. heel lang geleden volgde ik een cursus portret teken. Dit vond ik mijn 3 mooiste.

Just a beautiful cat languishing in a shelter, waiting for his "fambly" to find him. Meet FINN...

Lesson 5 has arrived! hahaha, it's rhyming day. I hope you'll stay...and see how I did this. Rhyming aside. Photo is mine, taken on a grey background then I used a paper from Riley B Graphics (Creative Fabrica) and used a blend mode. Then a mask on the paper and brought out some of the whites of the flowers a bit more. I used the text effect as shown in the video and then turned to raster so I could scuff it up more with the eraser tool. Papers are from Riley B Graphics (CF) and DigitalScrapbook (Gina Jones, Janet Kemp, Catherine blan-230580-neutral foliage - description 'cause I don't know her last name) Elements are from C.F. (Key top left of larger pink paper - cutout used, element hidden) and Ornament (lower right on larger pink paper, very light, used a blend mode, lowered opacity) Elements from DigitalScrapbook: Rose, greenery, floral flair. Font ( from CF likely) is Lilita One

Les 1 overnieuw gemaakt, Het pad liep wat anders maar ik kwam toch heel dichtbij.

I used the same layout I used yesterday. I did pretty much what Carole did, but I did add a slight inner bevel when I finished which I really like. Now when I can get the script installed for lesson 6, maybe I can get caught up!

Day 5 - The photo is from my daughter's last visit to Las Vegas. Some of the backgrounds are mine modified with FF and some are straight from FF patterns. The font is from CF and called "Banner." The circle elements are from Adobe Express AI. Since the photo was taken in LV, I felt as if it deserved a "carnival" atmosphere.

Day 6 I used the font Segoe UI Black for the title and Sego variable text light for the writing at the bottom, trying to incorporate what I have learned from the previous 5 days. The brick castle is a shape I added a colour and a brick texture to it and gave it a dropped shadow. The photo was taken on a lovely sunny but windy day in September 2023. The sign was also a photo I took which gave information about this particular part of Hadrians Wall.

My day 6 : Cake made by my daughter's mother-in-law for her baby shower

Here is my lesson 5.

Here is my final lesson. I couldn't choose so I did both. I really enjoyed the class Carole, as always! I will be taking more so I can jog brain cells. Everyone seems quite talented! Happy Thanksgiving for us living in the USA.

I have worked on two of my projects for the Text workshop taking into account some comments. I have really enjoyed this workshop and also want to say thank you to Carole. For my Night Sky image I added a few shadows as suggested and then having looked at 'A Beautiful Mess' Masterclass again, played around with effects to make the blank area look more interesting. There is so much spontaneous creativity demonstrated in that Cassel tutorial. For the Zuki project, I put a few of the Text Workshop techniques together as I knew I was due to make a greetings card for her. I had to fiddle a bit getting a larger font to fit into my Africa shape. Apologies for corny poem though. Thanks for all your ideas participants and thank you again Carole.

Last one - My photo of my grandson in HS when he finished 7th in the state of Virginia in the pole vault. The graphics are from CF. The blue moon texture is from FF. The background and polka dot ribbon are my own. The font is Cute Dot from CF.

This is my try for lesson 3. I am owned by one of these creatures. 😄

TWS5.

Day 7. I found it hard to give a font wide enough to be able to see the photo through it. I think the one I found is the best I could find in my assortment of fonts. It was fun working with this. This is a precious photo of our five grandchildren. It is rare for us to be able get together as we live so far away.

Lesson 6 The Vector Tube Script is very cool. I must remember to uncheck creating on separate raster layers. I used a kit by Jessica Dunn; Reach for the Sun Mini Kit (DigitalScrapbook) Font is Wonderbar 2.0 Photo is mine and it looks like the sunflower if pointing me in the direction of the sun.

Here is my submission for Day 7. Another "fun" one.

TWS4.

TWS3.

Day 6. Our fur babies got to visit Santa.

Day 4. A Day at the Adelaide Zoo. We had just a good time especially when we got to see the pandas.

Day 6 - A photo of my youngest grandson fishing off the pier in Myrtle Beach. The fish scales are from FF, the boards are from my own photo. The embossed fish are from a CF dingbat. The fishing rod is AI, and the fish is from FF. The font is called "Aquarium" from CF.

Here is my Lesson 6 featuring the only local college football, the Army Black Knights at West Point Military Academy. I've never been there but I hear it is beautiful, and the football team is doing very well this season (surprise! lol) and is moving up in ranks so it might earn a bowl game yet. The traditional Army/Navy game has yet to be played, and that always generates a lot of excitement. The title font is Stencil. The top photo is of the campus; the right is the marching band and the bottom is Mitchie Stadium.

Day 6 I chose the Picture Tube called River Rocks and ran the script 3 times to give a piled up effect of the rocks. On one of the stroked layers I added a drop shadow 5:5:87:5 for slight effect. I don't know why but I am having trouble highlighting my text vector layer to be able to change attributes ie if I wanted to change the font.

Here is my day 6 project. This one was fun.

Just reminded me of a "photoshop" I did several years ago to make a pun meme even MORE "punny". I actually used one of the PSP plugins, can't remember exactly which one. I applied the effects to a van, then inserted and blended it in and changed the caption.

Here is my Day 3. I used one of my photos of the Little Chapel, called "Käpelle" which means little chapel.This small pilgrimage and sanctuary church is located high above the my hometown Wuerzburg on the mountain next to the fortress. Papers and elements (arrows are) from Digital Scrapbooking. Font on top is a simple Windows font, Berlin Sans FB.Thank you Carole for helping me out when I got stuck in adding drop shadows and showing me that I had to merge groups before I could add a drop shadow. I am still having a hard time with some of those and I will have to work on that. I think my drop shadow around the red part all of a sudden looks a bit blue, even tough I had black selected as a color. Also thanks for the tip about saving in compatible mode when using wrapped text.

@CasselYes, I took 2 pictures and made one. I had already done the same thing with their half brothers several years ago. I often show them the picture and ask them who it is. After they have named their name, I turn the picture over and say "Well no, it's your brother". They find it very funny....

This year I used gnomes as a theme for my youngest grandsons' Christmas Cards. The backgrounds are from CF and Canva. The front letters are pngs from CF which were stacked using Carole's Alpha Stacking script and then entered into the Text Creator script. The candy cane frame is my own from my Build a kit 2. The purple belt Taekwondo gnome is from Adobe Express AI in honor of Thomas just receiving his purple belt. The inside gnome is from CF, and the candy cane letters are from my alphas in Build a Kit 2. I did not save the name of the inside font but it is from CF.

We are having a family party today to celebrate the engagement of my grandson, Brad and his sweetheart, Livia. I made a little layout for them. I feel I need some instruction in modifying masks. This one from Cassel, is too much on the right side but whatever I did to it made it worse, so I left it alone.

Here is my final page 7. This one was very hard for me to do. I found a fat font on CF called Fat Kat, the papers are from CF, the cluster and elements are from Digital Scrapbooking and the picture is mine. I enjoyed this class and I learned a lot. I will need to practice more with the day 7 tutorial. You all did a wonderful job and I enjoyed looking at your artwork. Thank you Carole for your patience and guidance.

het lettertype heet ASH. Ik heb alles gehaald uit de scrapkit Oktoberfest van Elfairy tou een wat oudere kit. Dit wordt in Duitsland zo gevierd natuurlijk in October. Dit feest lijkt veel op thanksgiving. Eigenlijk een soort dankfeest voor het gewas met veel gezang, bier en eten voor de lekkere trek zoals hier afgebeeld. De dames zijn gekleed in Dirnds en de heren in lederen broeken met hoedjes. Pfffffffffff. deze ronde is klaar. Ik wil nr. 6 nog een keer overdoen. Dank je wel Carole voor de leerzame lessen.

A lot of fun with layout 6. The font is ChunkFive Roman. the picture I generated with CF Spark. the patterns of the papers are mine. Thanskgiving is tomorrow and I really need to get busy. The outline of the Ace of Hearts (which is from CF) is Cass red sequin; the outline of the title is my own

Here is my page 5:The Falkenhaus (Falcon House) is an iconic building in downtown Wuerzburg with a bright yellow rococo façade. The building was severely damaged during World War II, before being reconstructed using old photos to match its historic appearance. This 18th-century guesthouse today contains the tourism office and the municipal library. I used to spend a lot of time in that library. Font is Gil Sans Ultra Bold, scatters and cluster are from Digital Scrapbooking, and papers are mine. I used the brick texture on the red background and cork on the brown paper.

There is a beautiful song called "Coat of Many Colors" by Dolly Parton. Released in 1971, the song tells the story of how Parton's mother made her a coat out of rags, inspired by the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. It's a touching song about love, acceptance, and the value of handmade gifts. I made this layout in 2020.
