here is my project 4, a visit in a museum in Berlin , credits are all in gallery

Here in the United States, the Bald Eagle is our national bird. A hundred years ago, it was on the brink of extinction. But it has recovered. There are areas where the birds are known to nest. And I had heard they could be seen on our local creek, but never saw one. One day in July last year, I drove out toward the creek to run an errand. I saw a large bird on the edge of the road. I slowed and expected it to fly away. But it didn't. As I drove past, I realized it was a Bald Eagle! I had to turn around, and get my camera out of my purse! It was very concentrated on eating lunch, which was roadkill in the weeds. I have not been feeling well the past 3 days. I realize now I didn't do anything with the title, and I may have missed another step or 2, but I just don't feel up to it now. Since I had it halfway done, I felt I needed to finish it. I hope to work on Project 5 tomorrow, praying for a better day.

The next page of our trip to Chattanooga. All papers and elements are mine. The title font is Broadway. The journaling font is Arial.

I am more relaxed when I am enjoying the outdoors. One of my favorite locations for hiking and camping is Algonquin Park. There is just something about the call of a loon that seems to melt away any angst that has built up and allows me to relax. Thanks very much for putting together these sessions Cassel. Greatly appreciated.

I just want to remind participants to try to avoid slippery topics because we want to be a neutral place for everyone to feel welcome. In the past, discussions about political views and religion have caused members to leave. These posts are not at that point yet, but for anyone who is reading, it COULD get slippery. Thank you for supporting each other, even when world events might trigger some strong feelings.

At the last Boot Camp, my Project 5 featured the Saturn 1B rocket at the Welcome Center at the Alabama/Tennessee line. Since then, it has been determined that it is no longer structurally sound. Refurbishing it would require moving it to the NASA Marshal Space Flight Center in Huntsville. In 1979, power lines across roads were temporarily removed. Although the rocket had been dismantled, electrical poles were taken down to accommodate the massive size of the pieces. Today, overpasses make it impossible. The font for the title is Neilvard One and the text font is Calibri which recently became the official font for the US State Department. The papers are from Marisa Lerin.

These a lot happening in europe around now. when is someone going to wake up and realise this is the reverse of the 1960's cuban missile crisis. The west should back down and look to see what is happening and take the right action or we are in for a nuclear winter

Project 4. Kit used: PS - Gina Jones-Pretty bird. Font: AR Julian. Fun.

Project 5 I had a ton of fun with bootcamp! and seeing everyone's beautiful work.

I've known for some weeks that this day would arrive, so I began working on a small tribute to my mother and her siblings, all of whom are now gone. The last uncle just died last night; his brother died last September; and my mom and her sister have been gone longer. I'm not just an orphan but uncle- and aunt-less too! Karel (called Charlie) was 96, so we are not in deep mourning, but I do feel the loss right now...of all of them. Requiescant in pace. The photo is likely from the mid-40s b/c the uncle who died yesterday has on his navy cap. He was underaged but sneaked into the Navy and served on a corvette in the North Atlantic. I do genealogy layouts for my family history, hence the tree.

LAB 6-7 Sandbrush Scale Pattern Wavy Flag Inspiration Template W used for this LAB Another fun lab. The scale pattern was my favorite. I played with color combinations for quite some time, it's addictive when you want to see just one more combination...an hour later you are still doing it, and the rice is burning upstairs! I know, it's hard to burn rice when cooking on low. If I can melt a colander making spaghetti, I can burn rice (I have...many times). But you aren't reading this for my cooking advice are you? Back to the Lab at hand. The sandbrush was surprisingly easy to do, yet hard to control it just how you want. I'm thankful for the good instruction on the wavy flag. It took me some time to figure out the "shear" setting on the pick tool I couldnt figure out how to get the middle handle(node?) to change from vertical to horizontal. I got there by mistake and took me time to figure out how to change the directional arrow thing. The background scale pattern (which looks like supermans colors - don't get me started on Henry Cavill doing Supermand and NOT doing The Witcher!) has a gradient background and the pattern has a 14% angle with a scale set at 80. the scales looked best in black. I used the sand brush as a paper and for the stars and ovals. The frame around the whole photo/title area has an inner bevel (#2, width 8, smooth 10, depth 7) to help it stand out. Fonts are Gills Sans Ultra Bold Condensed (title) and Adaniya (Creative Fabrica) on the wavy flag. Photo's are mine.

Lots of lessons learned on Project 4! One of which is that I can't seem to find elements and papers to support what I have in my head of what I want to create! I've downloaded many "freebie" packages but they don't seem to fill the bill. And what are these "tubes" that I read you guys are using? Do tell! Please!

This is my 5-year-old great-nephew, Noah, who loves dinosaurs. The shadows on the dinos were an experiment. I guess I could have treated them as stickers, but it gave me a chance to try something different. The papers and elements are from a collaborative kit called Boy of Mine. The font is Unicorn Express from Creative Fabrica. Carole: The buttons from the previous layout were "as is" from the designer. After your observations, I probably wouldn't have used them. I did try to flip them, but it didn't work in the space I wanted. After this, I will never look at a button the same way again. I'm having trouble with brushes loading. It takes almost two minutes before they are loaded and ready for use. I seem to remember that you had addressed this for someone else before. Would you refresh my memory? Thanks!

Wonderful lesson! This is my fourth project. Again, this was a lot of fun. Joseph became a big brother a little over three months ago ?

Thanks for these. I will have to go back in later to see if I can edit the frame around the images. For now I just used another layer.

My project 3. This time the papers are mine and the elements are all from different picture tubes. The pictures were taken in Memphis when my daughter and I did a Sunday tour of the sites in Memphis to use for my "M is for Memphis" alphabet book. The font used is Arlington Script. Most of the extra scripts I get are from Creative Fabrica.

Beautiful Julie. Sorry for you loss. Even if it's expected it's still sad.

Julie: Wonderful layout for a wonderful old photo. The tree is the perfect touch!

We all love to know who are fellow members are and some of you hav already uploaded a profile picture for the Campus. However, the new forum/gallery is not using those pictures so you have to upload it another time, in a different place. But don't worry, it is just as easy. Step 1. Click on dropdown arrow beside your name, on the top right of the page, while you are logged into the forum or the gallery. Step 2. Click on Profile. You can also just click on the image or the letter that shows up if you don't have an image yet. Step 3. Click on the image icon that appears near the colored letter. Step 4. Choose "Upload a photo" Step 5. Click "Choose single file" and navigate, on your computer, where you have the image you want to use. Step 6. Click "Continue" Step 7. Adjust the area you want to use, with the handles around the blue square. Step 8. Click "Save" and you are done.

Gerry, I brought my family to Huntsville Space Camp many times and we always went to the back lot to see the rocket for it was on the ground at that time. This was one of my favorite places to visit so I brought all my family here at one time or another and even sent one of my grandchildren to the actual space camp. Great stuff!!

Don't know how far south you had to fly to get the trees like that but here in the UK it's bare branches and snow for days at a time. Still I have a few plants that are flowering. Even the Wall Flowers.

This is my 4th project. No long story for this one. I really didn't come up with any "fun" way to do the title. Papers were from Janet Kemp's Pond Life kit and the elements were from Jessica Dunn's kit Swim with the Fishes. Both kits available at digitalscrapbooking.com. Photos taken at a local pond.

I have just taken a gander through all the pages, as it is currently snowing. What an array of wonderfully creative pages posted. I thought I'd make a start on general ecards. Here are two that I have started, no doubt before they are destined for their intended recipient, they will be tweaked. Currently working on an Easter card. Many of you will know that I keep my pages simple and minimal. Maintaining focus on the photos. I'd better get back to it.

Carole, the photos in Project3 have been corrected a bit in PSP9-OneStepPhotoFix. I cannot do anything in JK's cellphone. I'm glad I have shots from his cellphone:)))))) I've corrected a little bit photos in my Project4, but it was impossible to add SUN, sorry. I'm happy it was not snowing when JK has been there.

January word Challenge in the campus. START. I didn't clock up the miles yesterday, as I had intended to do. The wildlife had other ideas for me. Before I even set off, I encountered a small flock of black capped chickadees close by. I spent more time being inconspicuous than actually hiking the trails. Either way it was a great afternoon to be outdoors. I haven't done a magazine cover for a short while. My very first page to be be added to the campus since the changes. I forgot to add it to the campus, after posting it on facebook on Sunday. Yearling bull moose. Male Snowy Owl. Black-capped Chickadee.

I changed the font to Arial, but it still seems to look like there is a shadow on the journaling. Not sure, but it is when it is resized to 600 that this happens. Could it be because I textured the paper it is on?

Make sure your photo is on a different layer. And you have that layer selected. Make sure the 'mode' is set to 'replace', and the 'match mode' is set to 'opacity'. Tolerance set to 0. "Use All Layers" has to be unchecked too, as Rene Marker said!

DAY 9 #4: Anna Loves Dante - My granddaughter has a new cat named Dante. I got a kit from Digitalscrapbook.com by Gina Jones called Every Day is Caturday. The plain papers, the heart and the scatters are from my stash. The patterned paper, word art and cat accessories are from the kit. The fonts used are Gill Sans Ultra and Birdy.

Project 3 This was a lot of fun! My drop shadow is terrible on the rope around the flower. I have to try and redo it, but I think I saved it as a jpg. Trying to improve working with drop shadows.... soon as I resized the rope it looked more ugly lol ? (Sorry Carole, my internet was weak due to the snow/rain where I am, but it appeared on my end..so I reposted )

Full disclosure...I've never done any scrapbooking! However, I do create photo books which I believe I can incorporate the scrapbooking skills that I am developing! A win-win! I am not a big glitter person, but I had fun seeing how to use it. I was pleased that I could flood fill the hearts with a 3rd glitter color after creating the "2-tone" glitter to go under my photos.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do when this project was given to us. About 10 years ago I quit my job as a lawyer and decided that I really wanted to work with and for dogs. I became a dog walker and pet sitter by day and in my free time I volunteer at my local animal shelter and smaller rescues from time to time. Oh and I'm mom to three dogs. The dog on the left was rescued by the ASPCA along with approximately 300 other hounds in a cruelty/neglect case in Vermont last winter. Our shelter took in about a dozen of the adult hounds and about 20 of the puppies. The rest were sent to various shelters around the country. His new mom & dad sent the shelter an update and a picture. He's living the life and a healthy weight now. The middle dog was transported from Texas to Massachusetts and ended up in our shelter where he quickly found a home. The third dog was on a cross country trip thanks to a Great Pyrenees rescue organization to meet his parents to be. I drove him on one leg of his trip. Sometimes it can be soul crushing but these are three success stories. As for the papers and elements, all came from MarissaL's Pets kit except for the Love element which came from Gina Jones' Fido kit and the glitter which came from the link that Cassel gave us for glitter in the email.

The quote is one that my wife has used over the years many times. This looks like a perfect spot to do just that.

Project 2 We had a couple of buck visit our yard Christmas early evening. It had been a frigid day and they were hungry! I had my camera handy. The font is Remington Typewriter, and I used the chisel effect on the headline. I used the Janet Kemp Woodland Winter kit, from DigitalScrapbook.com

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.

Project 2 really enjoyed this.

I just finished project 1. It's always about my kids.
