Trying to get caught up. Here is Day 6. There are many things that didn't work out well, but sometimes that has to be good enough. Photo is from my garden a few years ago. The cheerful and welcome little crocus. The title is done with a small colored ball and the vector tube script. It filled each letter entirely....oh well. I wanted colour, and I got colour! (I used American spelling on the layout.)

Day 7 Titles Class - didn't follow the script exactly, but used the techniques to design a flyer for a summer show...

All the best intentions go flying out of the window when flu visits. It started just about the same time as the Text workshop was ready to go. I thought I might get a bit behind but I have never felt so unwell for many years so was unable to participate as planned. However, not wanting sympathy as eventually I will get better but just wanted to say I have enjoyed seeing every bodies work, some lovely results. Stay safe and well everyone.

Day 6. Template : Cassel Papers : Marisa Lerin (digitalscrapbook) Font : Simplefire (= monoline font)

I'm done in. Workshop 7. Changed many times, but this is what I finally came up with. I'll post it and then I have to restart my computer as I overloaded it working on this. The font is Dragon Kids from Creative Fabrica. The lower cluster is from PS - Jessica Dunn.

Nice colors, Julie! ?

WOW! It's a triple play! You covered one text workshop, the song of the month and the freebie, all in one! Nice - congrats!

Here is my Workshop #6: Spring is here, this is the name of the song from Carly Simons, the scrap kit is Extraordinary Bundled Collection by Artgal Style and he title is made with the font: Showcard Gothic with a rose rope vector script.

Finally completed Day 7. The photos are of my youngest grandson, who by the way, is now a teenager. Found this one, for some reason, hard. It is still not my best attempt but after two attempts, have given it a go. I am definitely not good at scrapbooking. Needless to say, I have learned a lot thanks to Carole. I have absolutely enjoyed all 7 Days.

Sure hope Spring springs up soon!

Many years ago I was on ArtGal Style's creative team so I have a lot of her kits. Although she retired all of them when PlainDigital Wrapper closed down and only moved her newer kits to her new shop at GoDigitalScrapbooking. She is a sweet person and still creates really nice kits! Nice layout.

Day 5 : it's not really a scrapbook page, but I didn't like everything I tried, so I tried something else ? Template : Carole Cassel Instead of papers, I used on the bottom layer the effects - texture effects - soft plastic on the second a blend mode The font is Poplar Std

Learning scrapbooking is often done with practice, looking around for inspiration, and trying to recreate projects we admire. Sometimes, we can be inspired by finished projects, but sometimes, we also have to use our imagination to interpret something. This challenge will give you an opportunity to envision something from a “boring” base, and you will have to imagine the end result differently. The sketch is only a written idea, and you can fly with it, modify it, and customize it to fit your vision, your photos, your supplies. This sketch has lots of room to add stories about your photos, or you can focus on the stories instead of the photos. And if you want more information on using sketches, check out this article. Post your project in the gallery.

Another workshop will soon start. Are you in? It will start on March 20th. This workshop is FREE for everyone, so spread the word. This workshop is meant to be for those with some experience with PaintShop Pro. If you are brand new to using the program, it will be a little more challenging, although we are here to help you if you still want to participate. Did you find this thread before the registration page? Here it is. Written instructions and extra supplies will be available to our DIAMOND members.

Do you have any interest in miniatures? Miniature scenes, trains, etc.? If you are interested, there is a TV show currently available on CBC Gem about miniature buildings. I would never be able to reach that level of detail, but I still love to watch them work! When the nice weather will be back, I will get to work some more on the gnome house, and keep you updated. Let's chat!

Day 7. Done. The text says "marina" in case it's not easily readable. I find it's often a bit challenging to read the letters when they are cut out as pictures. The photo is mine of the lovely marina we have in our small town on Lake St. Clair (not a Great Lake officially, but part of the system). I really enjoyed this series of lessons and prompts. I used techniques I wasn't familiar with and got a bit improved in some of those. Thanks Carole. Having your templates was a great help as well. I don't do scrapbooking, but I do enjoy just creating layouts for birthdays or other things. Mainly, PSP helps me work with old photos to make them better quality for my history and genealogy projects.

I like his especially because the photo is in the font with each part of the photo in each letter.

Well, I did complete workshop 6 and will go on to 7 today also. Not too happy with my last couple of layouts - however, the different ways to use text have been interesting. With this one I used a pattern in the letters instead of a color - it was interesting resizing the layout - the zebra pattern didn't want to resize; so I had to close the jpg and then call it forward again - and this time the zebra pattern also resized. The ribbon on the tag is from PS - Gina Jones; the rest of the elements are my own. I think the font I used for the Zoo was something Big Chunk.

Nadine: I know what you mean. I often feel so disappointed and dissatisfied with my layouts after I've spent hours on them! In the beginning, I think I have a good idea, and it goes downhill after that! But I think your finished project is great!

Day 7. I found several fun graphics on Pixabay but kept running into shadow problems. I couldn't use the eggs because the shadow angle was wrong for the layout. The font is Thanks Bunny. It has lots of fun glyphs.

Still working on it. This is workshop 5. The text is Bauhaus 93; the Christmas hat and the star are from Cassel; I'm not sure, but I think the gnome is from Creative Fabrica. I extracted the "Santa Stop Here" sign from another picture of the tree. The scene is from the Germantown (TN) Civic Center Christmas Santa Party for the kids. Yes, Santa was there and I even have a picture of me with Santa!

My work 2. "Funny Company". My PSP had super fun with this work. Red color in the text/title is its fault, not mine;)

Day 4 project. I used Carole's layout with a few minor changes. Wings are from Marisa Lerin's Birdhouse In My Soul Kit. The background is from Marisa's Garden Party Paper Kit. The photos are compliments of my oldest daughter who is learning photography.

I have the same problem. Yesterday I put a piece of paper on my windowsill and looked how the sahdow was and later on with thicker paper. If you see it "real" it looks like you understand the shadows better. I even saved some shadows from workshops as a preset but with some projects it's still not looks ok, too much, too little, to dark etc ?

Day 4. I'm glad I finally figured out how to do this. I played with the different vector ways to do it to make sure I got it down. However, when using one of the preset filled-in arrow shapes the text wanted to go on the inside (black of the arrow) not around the outside. Curious if that is how it is supposed to be because it didn't look nice at all. I'm not sure I'll use this much but at least I know how to use it. Another one of my Trine football layouts. Again used the Sporty Football kit from Kristin Aagard and a template from Scrapping With Liz in the Recyclables 75 kit. Both available at The Lily Pad.

Here is my layout done as Workshop Day 3. I Made it with the scrap kit : Joyeuses Paques Designed By LouiseL's

Here is the tag , as I can see it isn't legible in the above page, due to being resized. Yearling male Antelope

Day 3. It's always a treat when any four legged animal comes to visit. Carole used the word adorable to describe my Red squirrel, so I decided to use it in this page. As I do adore these majestic animals. The Antelope are frequent visitors. Males and females are segregated. Here we have some adult males with yearling males, not to far away were the pregnant females and yearling females. I don't use the selection tool to wrap text. It's ideal for quickly typing journaling, but it has far to many limitations for my liking, and for the word art/text that I like to create. Again, I didn't use any outside recourses.

Font is Beauty night butterfly The bird came out of a scrapkit called Romantic Tea time set from Creative fabrica Link The text is in Dutch (duh) and says : Sometimes you find a picture and don't remember where it is taken. We now think it's from the castle gardens in Arcen (Dutch village)

Thanks, Cassel. Here's my revised version.

I did a layout for the project that I am using for this workshop. So this layout actually combines Day 1 title and Day 3 text wrapping. I used a template by Scrapping With Liz (October Mood Board) and the kit is by Kristin Aagard called Sporty Football, both available at The Lily Pad. For the title I wanted a fill that pertained to football. There was a football element in the kit so I made it smaller and made a tube out of it to fill the title. I also didn't make the fill translucent as I wanted to keep the dark blue color that is the school's color. I went with a silvery outline of the title. Font is Cooper Black. For the text wrapping I used the remove selection to take out the corner area where the photo covers the paper. I tried the paper over the photo but it didn't look right with the football shaped frame there as well. Font is Arial. This is a very simple layout and not my normal style since I usually have at least 1 cluster on them. But I wanted this layout to be about the story and the photo. I will do a second layout with more photos of this game then move on to the next game which is where my Day 2 title is being used.

Beautiful, and ever so entertaining to watch these rodents go about their daily lives. I didn't use any outside sources, not even a script to create the round brad. The papers are also my own. I did use one of Carole's corner punches.

Here is my text workshop Day2: Birdie

I used the provided template too, but all the papers come from the Build a Kit Workshop and I wanted to see them "in action", so to speak. The star element is from Chanthalia Design

Papers : Chantalia design and Janet Kemp (digitalscrapbook) Cassel's template Font : PanAmTextCaps

aaaaah... spring and all new grows

LESSON 1 - THE EASTER HARE - Photo from Pixabay by Matteo Baronti; Cass-decorated eggs; TITLE - Bernard MT Condensed filled with PSP Tube candies (for Easter, of course); Greyhound silhouette from Vector Stock. I also used Cassel's template and the MarisaL Tangible Hope kit. (Thanks for the kit, Carole, I noticed it was free because it was from your account)

Here is my layout with this first Text Workshop: made with the kit "Tangible Hope Bundle Designed By Marisa Lerin" done with Text Wokshop Temlate 1 from Cassel. The font is Cooper Standard Font. MY DEAR DOG
