  2. Project 1 A typical September view in Northumberland (UK) as farmers get ready to harvest. The papers and elements are from the Jessica Dunne To Behold kit. I did add some confetti but it made the layout busy in a way I didn’t like so I took it out. The photo is one of mine.

  3. Here's my project for Lesson 3. Did learn quite a bit going through the lesson yesterday. My mother loved the wild birds. The Spring kit was certainly appropriate for her. Hope everyone is having a great day!

  4. Day 3 - Honoring Chooch. The background is from a photoshop brush, the stripes are my own, the hearts are from a CF font with a style added from PSE. The dog bone scatters were made with the custom confetti script. I made 3 different tubes and combined them.

  6. My sandwich. I tried to be ‘good’ and just use the supplied elements but I couldn’t resist making some changes. I downloaded some pngs – onion slices, tomato, bamboo placemat, water melon, and a cheese slice. I did keep the lettuce, plate, cup and cutlery so a hybrid creation!

  7. Day 2 I have finally finished my sandwich. I used a few free png downloads for the ingredients. I thought I would add some butter on the top slice that would be spread and turned upside down to create the top slice. I also wanted to use a tray and found one that is a wooden sign, who doesn't use anything for a tray? I added a soft frame because the sides of the 'tray' are cut off.

  9. A nostalgia moment for me; first with my family, then with school friends and even with my daughters when they were small. It was supremely corny but I did finally venture onto the rollercoaster with my friends! I felt so brave!! The poster is from the Facebook group Peter Gray's Magazine Covers and Posters which I follow. The title font is Century Schoolbook and the papers and accessories are from rae-BT-summer vacation. The information about the park was generated by MS Copilot AI. I probably should report my PSP2023 acted up with the journaling font that I had in a bounding box; as soon as I duplicated and rasterized it, it flew off to the right in a straight horizontal line. 😕 This was just with the raster version! I finally ended up converting the vector text to curves as a single shape to stabilize it.

  11. Bugs - Photos are mine. Background and papers are from a grunge brush recolored to yellow, orange, pink and black. Scatters are also from a brush, and the little insects and the big flower are from CF. The CF font is called Lovely Insects with a layer style applied.

  13. Day 7 I decided to create these pages to fit together, so they are all Walter Peak High Country Farm on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, pronounced wah-kah-tee-poo. The tourism company has bought the acreage beside the lake from Walter Peak Station, a much larger sheep station on the shores of the lake. They now maintain the farm and have removed trees other than those which are native to the area. I have continued the same fonts as previously, and am still using Jessica Dunn's Classy kit, with the oriental glitter provided by Carole. The background paper was a tad too pronounced, so I added another layer on top coloured with the same grey, and softened the blend on thetop layer, just to bring it back a touch.

  19. Day 3 This page uses Jessica Dunn's Classy kit. It is a kit I love, and I often choose pieces from it to create scrapbook pages. Years ago we travelled up to Queenstown and took the TSS Earnslaw across the lake to Walter Peak, an isolated sheep station opposite Queenstown. We are fortunate in that a Southland travel company gives those residing in Southland and Otago a 50% discount to take their tours. This happens at the end of each season, and I have often taken advantage of this. I used to work for that company, with the original owners who have since moved on, and I love to catch up with old friends from the 70's who still work for the company. The homestead in my photo is the original homestead. A newer building houses a restaurant and is probably the main destination for many who travel across the Lake in the TSS Earnslaw, a beautiful restored twin-screw steamer, travelling Lake Wakatipu since 1912.

  25. Project 5 This time I pulled a photo from my files, I think I shot these in October. I had another photo in mind but this one beckon me to use it. I made my own background paper with a gradient (looking like a beam of light on the flower) and for the rounded rectangle which I selected then promoted and added a small bevel. The squares I followed the tutorial and used scrapbook papers. Fonts: Briantone, Bricktown and Borensa (title, one of my faves) buttons: Melo Vrijhof button 04 and Billie Irene travel button 4 (DigitalScrapbook) frame: Marisa L gl21 frame 3 (DigitalScrapbook) Little squares: Janet Scott Dark yellow Fabric and DigiDewi Princess Paper Sparkle yellow dk (DigitalScrapbook) Photo: mine

  32. I used these stars in a layout. I need to resize it before posting. This layout is for the About Me Challenge...Places I've been. I have played competitive basketball in 25 US states and Washington, DC. The states which are colored in are the states where I have played. I included Iowa because I will play there in the National Senior Games in July.

  34. We recently had a bit of discourse about old photos and the frequent use of cameras. This photo that I have in my files comes from the early 1900s. It is not of anyone in my family, but the family of a friend. They are using Brownie box cameras, but I don't know which edition they are. I just love the pic! Taken in my hometown. Almost all elements come from Katie Pertiet photography kit which was on sale for $1.99 US.

  35. The letter G had me puzzled for a while and the word "grater" didn't came to mind. But then my eye fell on this copper guild mastermark that is in a small holder in our "office" - just a room but we call it our office 😉 It has a diameter of only 4.4 cm and was issued in 1780 to a relative of mine on my mom's side of the family. In those days there were guilds for the trades, like fishmongers, butchers, bakers, masons etc. You started as an apprentice for a master of the guild and after a couple of years when you were ready, you had to deliver a piece of work, your masterpiece that showed the guild that you had learned all there was to learn. If the guild approved you got the master title and a guild mastermark to prove it, which allowed you to start - in this case - your own bakery. On one side of the guild mastermark is the name of my ancestor and the word "Mr Bakker" (Bakker meaning baker) and on the other side is a windmill and stalks of wheat.

  36. Day 9 This time, the steamer, TSS Earnslaw, steaming her way to the wharf at Walter Peak High Country Farm. I used Jessica Dunn's Classy papers and elements, again, colourising the scatters to resemble water droplets...well, I can pretend they are, anyway I am actually enjoying the challenge of using one kit throughout.

  38. Project 3 You've seen the mittens, here's some partners for the mittens. Actually the 'partners' are about 3" (hat) and 8" (scarf), some Christmas decorations from something that I just found in a random cupboard. The mittens are full sized and were bought in the 2010 Winter Olympics when I lived just outside Vancover, BC(Canada). I put my big-girl pants on and wrote down all the supplies. Fonts: Awesome couple Script & Austyke (title) from Creative Fabrica Flower/tree/present: PS Commons Oklahoma Dawn (Digitalscrapbook.com) Swirl: Marisa Lerin (DigitalScrapbook.com) Polka Dot Paper: ABM-Christmas Joy-BG-02 (not sure who this is, but likely DigitalScrapbook) Pink Paper: PS Nov2019 BT-OKD-FiL-gpp5 (looks like Oklahoma Dawn at DigitalScrapbook) Green BG paper: Jessica Dunn-rustic wedding solid paper 10 (Digitalscrapbook) weird scatter stuff: Creative Fabrica Photos: mine The quote is not that thick in the reg layout or JPG. I saw it and thought, I need to change that, but when I checked my file, it's nice and thin, like writing. Weird EDIT: I decided to make the fonts more rustic and used the eraser on them to scratch them up and lowered the opacity. the dark black looks to abrupt on the eyes.

  39. This challenge became a kind of rollercoaster. At first I started in Affinity, but it didn't worked out well. The photo I choose was not suitable for what I had in mind, I had won the cass-Uneven Lines script and wanted to incorporate that in my layout but found it for this layout a bit too busy. In the end I duplicated the layer with the lines and rotated it 90 degrees and used it as a background under the part of the layout that I already had done. I wanted something to write the date and used an icon with a handheld phone. Afterall that is how I take my photos.😉

  40. Day 6 I really do love glitter! Matthew's brother sent me the picture of Matt with the rifle, and I was reluctant to use it because of my aversion to guns. However, it fit so well with Art Deco which was my first kit. I used a photo of Chooch that has him behind a speakeasy bar with a 20's style cap on his head. The bar and cap are from Adobe Express. The flowers were made in FF. The papers are from my first build a kit. The heart is a brush. The font is Edith from CF.

  41. Day 5 - Photos from my grandson. The background is from our paper class; the grey paper is from one of my photos of granite and the brown is a PSE layer style, cracks. Unfortunately, the PSE style looks like a cookie, but it should symbolize the cracks in the desert floor. The font is a layered font from CF called Rainbow. Since I saved the original as a vector, I was able to change the layers to match the colors of the page. I used Carole's scattered elements script for the bones(and did not distort them this time😊). I downloaded the daisies from Adobe Express. I used shasta daisies since they grow in the desert and can designate sympathy.

  44. Project 1 I used the Behold Autumn bundle that I had. the layouts I just scrolled through are really awesome and inspiring. I'm onto looking for some photo's for Project too and now I get to get a tea and watch my favorite TV show of the moment (Bootcamp TV! 😁 starring Carole....and that's all!). Photo is mine as usual. Probably will be much darker than it really is. It's supposed to be as if lit by the moonlight.

  45. Oops forgot the photo. I might use this or if I have time to take any pictures I'll find something else. I looked to see when the last time I did the Bootcamp and it was May 2023. That seems like it's so long ago. this is my 9th time. Ann, how many times is this for you now. I cant believe you forgot to register, the Bootcamp is in your DNA, I thought you might have an automatic alarm for it. 😁

  46. I tried out the blueprint technique with a local photo from Beacon, NY, of the Howland Cultural Center. It is quite spectacular in person. I'll also show the color photo.

  47. Gold elements challenge. I turned a stem of green ivy leaves to gold, and an insect which I extracted from a photo.I thought using the Shiny scarab beetle was appropriate for this challenge. Besideds the Shiny, other scarab beetles have metallic green or bronze hues. They are a very diverse species. In the top left image, you can see how this scarab spent the night, in a state of torpor. The layout is my own, which I created for this challenge. Again I used snowy, icy photos using the blend mode for the background paper.
