Okay - Ive been playing too - not yet with that stencil beautiful stuff you are posting, but somewhere someone used a background paper that I think came from CF. I had made abstract paper in one of the previous labs I've been working on and I thought - well let's see if I can put glitters on it too. So I did one with gold glitters and one with silver glitters and then did one with an expanded glitter of silver that I put in my winter folder. So here goes.

My friend's dog, Alfie. He sure loves tennis balls. This is a full photo background challenge also.

OK - this is my result

Susan Ewert - thanks. Sue Thomas and Ann Seebert make it look so easy. And last year (or may be the year before) Carole had a challenge for putting words in a shape that REALLY had blown me away. Carole has several tutorials on word art that I downloaded and looked at but did not try my hand at it. This is the first time. I know that multiple fonts is part of the game, and I've been taking some of the freebies that CF has and I've even begun to not install the fonts but using NexusFont. You seem to be doing well with the labs, so don't give up. They are great tutorials and challenges. I've been intrigued seeing what others have done with the labs I've already been through. There is a lot of imagination in our group - and that's the name of the game - isn't it?????

I just LOVE Cassel's Punches; I used her Edge Punches to make the black border around the dancing people. Such an easy way to "dress up" your page. I would love to see a new set of Edge Punches (hint-hint). The font is Grenadier NF from 1001Fonts.

I liked to cut the edge ?

I don't have a picture of myself that I like for my profile picture, so I took this one of my hand on my computer trackball mouse and shopped it to death. I have tried to save it as my profile photo, but I don't know if it is going to work. Oh well I had fun.

Ann, thank you, and I didn't put the photo upside down, I took the picture like this, under the cat's head ?

Wow, this is really helpful. Also I noticed how the color you chose for each word is representative of that word (eg. a bright sunny yellow for "bright" or blue calming color for "Peace" and so on). I dont think I would have thought about that, but just seeing your Word Art it popped right out. I think it's all in the little details isnt it. And this makes me want to try it. But first I must tackle my new camera, I think it might take a 7 yr degree in engineering to figure it all out.

Beautiful furbabies! Terrific layouts! TFS!

I can't seem to get my mojo going. Lagged behind because Lab 10 Mod 12 wants to do a word art in the form of a tree (since it is December's mod, a Christmas tree); the holly and berries are no big deal since I've been practicing with the pen tool and practicing using the tablet and pen, but that word art form just escapes me. I think the words are OK, but I don't like it with what I have in the background of the words and I didn't save the pspimage like I should have. So now I will have to start over. Although I'm ashamed of it, I will show you what I did. You might have suggestions.

And this is the winter one

And this is the one with silver glitters

Well here is my promised Easteregg as a stencil. I'm going to use it on a card, but I have time enough to do so later. I'm not completely finished with customizing and exploring my new PSP 2023, but I wanted to finished this one first. The little eggs inside the big one come mostly from my stash and some came from Carole as freebies and some I just colored. I think the bunny was a freebie by CF some time ago

My friend's dog, Alfie. He does love his tennis balls!

Yeah - I know - I have to change the spelling of "chockolate"! LOL

Sue Thomas - Thank you. I had posted my attempt at word art in the hopes that you would have a comment that is helpful and that is. I will try again. Yours really looks like a tree while mine needs the tree in back of it to show that it is a tree. Will try again. Also, it is helpful to realize that it's okay to keep the choices of fonts to maybe two.

Well done! It would never occur to me to put a photo upside-down. All the layouts very effective. Love your dog's puppy photos!

Mary, thank you for being brave and showing your struggles with word art, we will all learn along with you. I am in the same boat. It's not like there is a "formula" you can follow. Word Art is not easy.

I saw that paper (that someone used) too and wondered how to make it. Yours are fabulous. You must have a lot of supplies now that you are so far into the labs. I estimate at my pace 3 or more years. I hope to up the pace soon. I get what you mean about your "mojo". I wonder where I lost it? Is this what it's like getting older (I"m 57), I thought it would much better than this. My parents made it look so easy ( I wonder if they just didnt show to us adult kids).

Ha ha! I was going to label it Laughing Cheetah, but Sleepy works, too!

Here's my monthly big cat calendar project for February 2023. I'll also put it up on Facebook with a large jpg in the files. The originals are 4200 x 2550. I think they came from Corel as a freebie.
