Next layout for the Chattanooga trip. Papers and elements are my own.

Lab 6-5 Cartoon Words Burst Shape Halftone Pattern Extra: Glitter frame is from the recent Master Class: Borders. I used two frames (on 2 separate layers) that I was deciding between and then when i had them both on, liked that version best (happy accident). Fonts are Grinched 2.0 from Creative Fabrica, fitting because the actual tree is very Dr. Seuss-like. Arial Narrow was used for the the date. Photo's are mine. The "fur" boss was lots of help today, knocking my pencil off the desk about 10 times before taking it in her mouth and running away. After a good chase I caught with her "stash" of her pencil and a pen I didnt know she had taken. it's really easy and quick to drag the photo's to here.

Hope this works!! My second post for 2023. Here are a few pictures my amigurumi crocheting characters that I made last summer. I did many more and did donate them. I also made some for the children in our area to give out at Halloween. If I am not in here, I am crocheting.

My friend, Michelle, at a professional pickleball tournament. Center court is behind her in the larger photo. She is posing with pro player, Lucy Kovalova, in the smaller photo. Template 94 by Lady 22, Bourico Casper. Word art from Creative Fabrica.

I extracted the buck head at the top. I'm pretty pleased with it. I think it is my best extraction to date. Interestingly, I had been thinking I would like to do a layout with deer heads and this template appeared. Perfect!

Ran across this layout that I played with when doing one of the recent labs. The window was "snowy window" and a freebie around Christmas 2021 and I removed the snow; the curtain top was something I was looking for to hide the top of the "netting" curtain I had used in that lab. I'm not sure where it came from but was probably originally from PS. All the rest is mine.

Michele, I hope you keep posting your illustration type layouts. I love the 60's-70's vibe of them and especially gratefull to see how you achieved it using "ingredients". I think it's important to see all styles of layouts with PSP to open our minds to greater creativity. You the know how it is, "we dont know what we dont know". It's inspiring. I have seen digital designs and often wonder how they were achieved, your explanation really shows how to look at individual elements and put them together in a cohesive package. I love this group for the diversity of layouts. Keep it up.

The topic on PSP Manics is frost but I thought I would post it here also. Hawaii Dreaming on a cold winter's day. All photos are mine, Maui Hawaii, my living room window and cloudy sky. The font is Script mt bold. The frost over the sunset was done with the overlay blend mode.

Now that's the kind of residents I would love to have. Fabulous Bonnie!, I love the one of the tail. Great touch...and it's a the "end" of the layout. ?

Helen and Ann, my mom also made them and I inherited them after her passing. Mostly animals and even a "rubber chicken". When my nephew had a baby I gave him a couple of them, including the rubber chicken because he's the clown in the family (just like his dad - my brother). PS, the chicken's body was crocheted around an egg shape, remember the nylons that came in egg shaped containers, I think that is what she used.

Neat use of the broken frame!

Susan, your words of encouragement are both appreciated and inspirational. I'll try to remind myself to share other non-"scrapbooky" layouts.

Mary, my husband and I both had fathers who were railroad men so trains run in the family. I'm really enjoying your documenting your trip and this one really strikes my fancy. Well done to effectively showcase so many photos at once.

Helen, I had a friend who made these. I still have a Humpty Dumpty Santa Claus! Charming ?

How cool Mary. I love old trains and train stations (and train museums where you can go tour really old trains that have been restored and set up as it would have been when it was new).

Pikachu! So cute.

Thought I would introduce myself, it has been awhile since I have posted. I am from New Brunswick Canada. I am using PSP 2023 and have been a Diamond member for sometime. The campus is the best site in learning PSP, it has so many tutorials and videos .

Thank you, Marie-Claire, Fiona Cook, and Suzy. I almost didn't post it at all because it was not "scrapbooky." I'm glad if I could help some newbies!

Fiona, this is wonderful. Thank you for explaining the techniques too. I tried the curved photo script with not great results and then forgot to go back to figure it out. I'll try it as a separate image first. I am wow'd by the dispersion script. I had often looked at that script but didnt know how I could use it. What you have done with it is beautiful and really adds depth to the fireworks.

The Picture Tube Fireworks from Carole has been useful for me to illustrate memories of a picnic concert we went to in the summer last year, in the grounds of Highclere castle, Newbury, Berkshire. The evening ended up with a fireworks display so I have used my photos of a firework and the picnic. The picture tube was easy to use around the edge and I also added one singly for a splash. To extend the main fireworks image and for a smokey effect I used Cassel's script cass-Dispersion. Thankfully the instructions for use appear in both the script description as well as during the various stages of application. Maybe I could have used a mask as an alternative? For the main picnic photo I used Cassel's cass-curved photo script. Here though I found I couldn't get it to work on the photo layer within my main canvas but it did work by treating it as a separate image and pasting it into the canvas.
