We'll swim tomorrow up ... You know this photo taken by JK at the seaside.

A bit early for Mardi Gras, but I use the theme that the game gives me every day. lol The mask clip art is from CF. I recreated (used as inspiration?) the word art, also from CF. The fonts I used are Cooper MdBT and BetterValentina. And, of course, the woman is a character from the game.

Nothing fancy this time, I just finished making an Eastercard with a stencil. I recently bought PSP2023 and it took a while before everything was installed and customized to my liking. Then I decided to do a "spring clean" of all my files and supplies, because it had become messy in places. Now I finished cleaning (not my hobby btw) and I'm ready to go for the next Workshops. I was already working on the stencil and put it on a card from the Card Workshop, the backgrund is made of 2 papers with the blendmode set to overlay. The grass is from my stash just as the egg, and the lace wrap was a freebie by Carole.

The photo is mine. I was at my Sisters today and she has a photo I created for her years ago with this saying, that she was using for her PC wallpaper. I think I got it off of a page a day calendar and I have no idea who pinned the original saying. I thought I would see what I could do with a new picture using PSP.

This time, I made a page with a template from Marisa Lerin: The Good Life: January/February 2023 Layout Template 13 Kit #4 By Marisa Lerin The Cass-Valentine Mask 01 from the Lab 13 and the kit: Digital Scrapbook.com Feb 2023 Blog Train from Angelhaze Love Everywhere.

This is a family history website illustration for a calendar and features the Heart Candies script. The script is simple but seems to run slower the more times it is used in a session (I think that is a PSP memory management issue). The original captions in the script were OK and I made some of those, however, my idea needed different words so I went under the hood into the script and it was so easy to change the words and Save As a new script. This way I made the boys names in blue and the girls names in pink... stereotyping I know but the colours persistently code lines in genealogy! The tray was then made using heart and arrow shapes with a metallic look and heavy Inner Bevel to make it look like blown plastic. This was then turned into a box and the perspective tilted backwards. The box lid, with a ribbon heart on the front, went through a similar process, but was distorted free hand. The card was added using a font that was free via Corel's website this week. Finally, the plush background added. Warm, red and shmaltzy. This image will come up through automated rotation only on 13/14 February on my website www.dowlingfamily.info. Other products used in this image: Plush (for the carpet texture); Preview Box (for the candies box and lid); Brushed Metal (for the tray texture); Ribbon Heart ; Distresses Edge (on the inside of the newspaper frame); Gemstone (used around the logo).

That is very beautiful Louyse. And thank you for the links.
