Created the polka dot paper using a pattern I made (I'm sure I learned it from Cassel). The yellow stripes were simply rectangular selection on different layers flood-filled with the color from the original illustration by Bahar. The font is Morebig Sans found through the Free Design Resources newsletter. Lately I've been using drop shadows with zero blur to give my text a little more depth (don't know if that's the right word.).

Buddy showed up one day, under nourished and looking for a home. He instantly became a part of the family. He enjoyed "hanging ten" and surveying his vast estate. He also spent a lot of time in my lap. He loved his new wonderful life for years. He developed cancer and you know the rest. Buddy was my buddy. RIP Buddy.

I got started really late for this daily pic so I relied on my scrapbooking supplies. Found this gorgeous photo on Unsplash which is a wonderful resource; the photographer is Lane Jackman. I used a paper from the ALFLT Jan 2021 Blog Train for the background and another one to make the ribbons. The flower was also in the blog train. The layout was inspired by one of Marisa Lerin's templates from Digital Scrapbook, formerly Pixel Scrapper. The font is Sugarstyle Millenial free from dafont.

I wasn't sure which way I wanted to go with Project 2. First I was thinking about using a dog picture again but then I figured I'd use a picture of me riding my motorcycle out of a covered bridge but I'm going to save that for a different project. So I settled on this. Every October, there is a motorcycle ride to raise money for a local cancer center. This year there were more than 800 motorcycles taking part. Folks dress up in pink (even though it's for all forms of cancer, they've adopted the color pink since the ride is in October) and there is a big party/luncheon afterwards. This is the view from my windshield (GoPro was mounted there).

This is my project 2. Kit is from PS - apjess-springskies. All the papers and elements are from the kit. The title font is Bank Gothic, the other font is Bomshell Script.

I've corrected and changed a bit my Project2. I hope it's better now. This time an abstract has been painted at the beach.

Project 2

Dear Cindy Harris. I love both of your sandwiches. How neat you took the top piece of bread off so we could see that you put mayo and mustard on your sandwich - AND I can see it on yo ur knife. WOW!!! How thoughtful to put extra meat on the side plate for your puppy! And I, too, like that plaid that you used for your tablecloth. As the captain said (on Galaxy Quest) NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER GIVE UP. Anyway - with the Lord at your side, you'll always be able to get up!!!

Hi Diamond Ann I wished I could cut my sandwich loved yours I tried but 5 hrs later just quit trying but got mine uploaded so happy to I get to climb the next mt (lesson)_ lol your so awesome ty for that and now seen this didn't post quite where I tried to post it thanks

I used Carole's free Fireworks Mask, created an AI illustration at Creative Fabrica and added a matching background. This was fun to do. Thank you Carole.

Very delicate and pretty. Great for spring....I long for spring; the new bright green leaves, the warm sun.....sigh.

Another IWAS template. Photos from 2012.

I have only used Persnickety Print, and I think they are from the US.

Susan, I haven't had a chance to ask Lucy about the horses. I will when they return to California. It is her poem and all the photos. Looking more closely at the photo, I see posts and wire fencing so I'm sure they're not free-roaming.

LOVE the poem, Ann! Beautiful sunset and beach. Are the horses just walking around where ever they please? Are they wild or tame? Alberta has a wild horse population. One of my favorite photographers, Rick Price, shoots them (with a camera!). His work is stunning and the wild horses are really skookum, not skinny like I've seen in other wild horse populations. You can find his picts on Flickr...he is Rick Price (RED DEER). There are a number of Rick Prices on there so make sure it's red deer. He has really incredible shots of bears and other animals too.

Day 5 - Project 2 - Magic on the Beach in Costa Rica. My California family is there as we speak, and Magic's mother, Lucy, sent all the photos used on this layout. The frame for the photo is a PSP frame called Transparent; the title font is Hello Butterfly with an inner bevel #7; the text on the right is done in Kleymissky font. The flower embellishment is from my Just Beachy kit by Lin Jane. The toucan is from the eyeinspire fruitloops kit. Lucy included a little poem with the photos she posted. Pura Vida Slow flow Sunshine and resupply of vitamin d Much appreciated after weeks of NorCal rain A new heart home deep on mama Pacifica Magic home Water baby Pool obsessed Heart full of deepest appreciation and reverence for this beautiful planet we call home

Project 1 I created a feathers scatter from one of the patterns in this (Watercolor-Feathers-Collection-668831(1) ) The feathers under the eggs was also from this download.

Project2, JK's taken shot at the seaside, Carole's free template Cluster2, I only painted my Project2;) BTW, there are so many free templates created by Carole:)))

Belana my Adventure Partner !!! RIP my Girl !! Fonts used .....top one ...Captain Kidd.....bottom small one ...A&S Heartbeat embellishments ....PNG's from PNGTree

Linda, I second Susan's statement! Love the photo and love the layout!

Like mother, like daughter. The main font is Nonplussed and the handwriting font is Annisa, both from Creative Fabrica. The background and drawings are from Pixabay. The papers are by Marisa Lerin from Digital Scrapbook. Anytime I can use SpongeBob SquarePants lyrics in context is a good day.

here is my project 2 , Photo is mine and the fonts are Hi Summer and Chicle kit credits in the gallery -

Ann, thank you. I had to edit it because the photo is on top of the tree and ribbon, and I was up late doing it (while the kids were all asleep, lol). beginner mistake ??

Project1. Shot taken by JK. He has been at the sea for one day. Very intensive short trip. Fonts-FatFree.

Hi Tonimarie - glad you could join us. If I had to choose, I'd pick the layout with the button. Zackary sure is a cutie! ?

@Gerry LandrethSuch cuties. You did a great job with the lifted shadow on the butterfly. @Ann Seeber Calling the snail "Rumba" is so cute!!! @Mary Solaas You did a great job on the cluster!!! @GabrielaAre those your dogs? Can you share what kit/supplies you used for your project? @Linda J WalkerScript text often should look like writing on a paper and that commonly has no shadow, so you made a wide decision. Get ready as you will have your second project tutorial tomorrow! And if you have not posted your first one, it is not too late!

Another iFLY...one more to do...not sure when. This is my friend, Michelle. Template 122 by Lady 22, Bourcio Casper.

I did another layout recently much like this one. Different person...same fun time. Elements at the bottom of the page were cut from the photos. This is actually 5 photos.

Guess i should off keeped it more simple ,without the heart frame over the picture !!

Project 1. I used the Frosty Fall kit. The drop shadow on the script text looked odd, so I didn't add it.

Project 1. I made the cluster with the elements in the fall kit from PS cpJess frosty fall mini kit offered for this project. Since I decided not to use fall colors in the mini kit, I colorized the fall leaf scatter provided by Cassel with the hue/saturatiion/lightness to green. the gold flower is from the kit also. In making the cluster which I saved as a pspimage, I made shadows on the individual elements - thanks for that tip, Carole - not sure where you mentioned it, but I remembered it.

Hi all Stencils : lab 13-01 Background pattern made with font dingbat : Seamless Pattern Various font A Grunge overlays from Pixel Scrapper Drapery made with brush + flower brush + festoon bottle : shapes, brushes, gradient Framed image duplicated 3 times and scattered

Here is my Day 3 Homework - this is my newest tropical fish. With Bettas (Siamese Fighting Fish) you can only do one per aquarium, otherwise they fight to the death. I have one small (5 gal) tank and he has a snail as a tankmate. The snail's name is Roomba. My photo for the background, colorized. It's so busy I didn't want to add much embellishment.

My great-nieces, Corinne (6) and Amelia (2). The papers and elements are from a kit called Autumn Joys designed by Digital Design by Jodi.

Thank you.

I had my alphabet printed and this is what it looks like. It arrived saterday and the company we had for my husban's birthday loved to see it, because in the beginning of last year I talked about this undertaking and asked for ideas.

I created this starting with one of the papers from Pixelscrapers freebee today (Watercolor-Time-Travel-Backgrounds-51580778) and cut out the center of the clock and added a background from Fire-in-Wonderland-Backgrounds-54289383 (also from creativefabrica but not a freebee) & I added swirls to it.

I love to decorate a table. As you can see, I've done this before a few times. The tablecloth is a paper by Jessica Dunn of Pixelscrappers. I like to keep my pickles separate from my sandwich, unless it's a hamburger.

I'm really happy with my creation for the DIY Challenge so I thought I"d post it in here too, so more could see it. It's my grandson, Will, and his wife and daughter, Magic, on the Mendocino headlands. My daughter, Debbie, took the photos. Aside from the ones with my family, the background is a composite of 2 photos taken at the time of the flowers on the headlands and one of the cliffs and the sea. Scallops were used liberally. ?

I used the sandwich to help make my grocery list. Fun and practical. The tablecloth is from a kit by Jessica Dunn, Reach for the Sun.

Here are some of the pictures I plan to use during this course.

iFLY was great fun. I am looking forward to going again. Inspiration Template A...Carole gave all 26 to us for Christmas. It was my turn to fly.
