Project 1 - I tried to add a frame around the flower picture by using shadow on left and right sides. >>> I have found that for me, I am unable to use the frame tool in Paintshop Pro 2022 for large mages like this one (3600x3600) This may have made the drop shadow that I added for the project look bad around this. The picture was taken with my iphone 5S, yes it is old but still works. The papers I used were from the suggested pack from Digital Scrapbook site .. I did change the colour of one of the papers. For the hearts, I just used the Heart from Preset Shape tool and resized using other papers from the same pack. The font used is Varsity Team. I cannot be sure where I got this.

My new kid on the block or 3 my 3rd entry my new kid is my mom Just Passsed.

Here is my day 3 project. The photo was a screenshot from one of the many explore live cams (https://explore.org/livecams/african-wildlife/naledi-cat-eye) I think I will be using pics from some of them for these projects.

I added a cookie as a reward/incentive. Although you can't tell by looking, it's sugar-free, as is the latte.

There have been unexpected challenges this week, and I haven't had time to make a sandwich - figuratively and literally. I hope to find a few minutes this afternoon to prepare both. "Linda" means beautiful in Spanish. When she was handed to me, I changed the spelling to a non-traditional one because that's how we do things in our house. She had a beautiful spirit that was always calming. The anniversary of her passing is this weekend. The kit used for the layout is called "Celebration" by whispy's D'zines from GoDigitalScrapbooking.com.

I thought I'd like a change away from my photos of flowers, birds, trees and cathedrals. So, I am going to use books I have loved as my themes for each of the bootcamp projects. Project 1 is Crow Country by Mark Cocker. He writes about his love of birds, in particular the covid family - rooks, crows and jackdaws. It is a lovely piece of nature writing set mainly in Norfolk in the UK and, many years ago, it inspired me to take more interest in birds. The images are all from the book cover. The words are the title and subtitle. The two papers I used were made by me - a simple colour fill with a texture added via EFFECTS then TEXTURE EFFECTS.

Carole - the meaning can range from cute to lovely to beautiful. It depends on the country and the delivery. When someone breathlessly says "que linda!" it is definitely "beautiful."

@Sharla Simple paper is totally fine. That theme will be an interesting one. @Susan Ewart I'll see if I can move the image for you in the gallery (I have never done it yet) @Gerry Landreth I didn't know Linda meant beautiful in Spanish. I didn't even know it was Spanish! Beautiful tribute. That cookie looks yummy! @Randy Using a shadow as a frame is interesting. For best visibility, you should then use it at 100% opacity. I'll check the Frame tool on my 2022. I didn't think you would use it in this project. @Anne Lamp I would go a little less on the shadows, especially on the title. As a rule of thumb, if you have a font with fine lines, a shadow needs to have less offset, so there won't be a visible "gap" between those fine lines and the shadow (which would make it look like it is hovering over the paper). That photo is stunning. Will we have more cam photos? OK, tomorrow, you will get the second project to do. If you have not finished the first one, don't worry. You can still catch up!

I really like the background paper and the water drop scatter. That is quite the interesting stork.

Thank you. I got hung up on the frame tool and forgot all about adding borders. Thank you for the link.

Day 3 - Project 1 I used various papers and elements from the bundled kits from Jessica Dunn-Frosty Fall (the mini was provided in the bootcamp). I did adjust some of the colors of the papers and elements to fit my idea. The scatter was from one leaf that I made duplicates of and turned them various ways (then grouped them so I could move, resize and duplicate the group as needed). Fonts are: Night Wolf from Creative Fabrica and Arial Rounded MT Bold from Windows Photo is mine. Carole: I posted in the gallery too, but made a boo-boo and didnt put it in project 1, how do I delete it and/or move it to the project 1 folder?

Hi Carole, I found this on several sites, I hope you can see the german and the pinterest links. https://www.pinterest.de/pin/492649951361596/visual-search/?x=10&y=10&w=544&h=544&imageSignature=0dd9a41388a875a39eaab06bc99aeabb https://miniaturerustictwigfurniture.blogspot.com/2011/04/see-them-now-at-wise-women-gallery-and.html?m=1 https://www.pinterest.at/barbaramartsch/baumstamm-garten/ https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/how-to-make-fairy-houses-1244393

Your composition looks good enough to be in a magazine!

I tried making low fat peanut butter cookies once. Took a week to chip them off the cookie sheet!

I realized I forgot to report the details: Title Font = Gil Sans Ultra Bold + Heart Things 2 / ID Font = Freestyle Script / My photo = iPhone XS - 4/2023 Scatters = ps_marisa-lerin_34745_be-mine-squares-scatter / Flowers = SDE_AnAutumnView / Grapes = NicePNG Background plaid = AHA_somewhereintime_papers04 / Vertical strip = AHA_somewhereintime_papers11

I see you keep your phone handy too. LOL

Last layout for the Chattanooga trip. You all may remember the hexagon template we got probably last year or the year before. This is my first time using it (and I forgot I had the pspimage and made one from the png LOL). But I must say that it was good practice!

LESSON 3 - My House Finches Love Grape Jelly ... who knew? I thought it was for the Baltimore Orioles who are not here yet. Meanwhile the finches are loving it!

Hello All, All day but I not as embarrassed as my first table, I wished Ann Seeber would give a class on how she did hers I Love it. I got my laptop on the Best Site, lol in the Picture Here. ? This was all day all day every time I got to sit down and Finally got mine to post. I like the dark grey on my psp and the Complete set up, hope I resized it right I made my top bread see thru so you can see the inside. got marshmellows used golf tubes yum.

I got a little carried away with this 1st project. The sandwich is ham on rye with vegies and mayo, I didn't want anything hot to drink so I am having orange juice. I get sloppy so I gave myself some paper napkins. . I chose the tablecloth because I think I am going to be doing mostly animals for my projects.

Day 2 Exercise Here is my day 2 exercise. Just trying to catch up so nothing fancy today. I did take a shortcut to get my sandwich on the plate. I selected all layers from the sandwich, used Copy/Copy Special/Merged and then just pasted the entire sandwich to the plate. I did make sure that I could drag an individual item to the new image.

This looks great Anne. Indeed you are in the right place. If I cant find the forum from the campus I just go back to the lesson and it has the link ("the forum") at the bottom, it says something like this, " Then, go to the forum, and show us... has. Believe me, we have all had to a lot of help from Cassel, when we got started. It was so new to me I didnt know or understand what anything was, keeping going knowing I had Cassel to be there when I got stuck was/is an amazing experience. And it's the first time I didnt get frustrated and quit PSP. I look forward to seeing your layouts.

I'm still not sure I am in the right place. Poor Cassel having to put up with me. I am sure glad you guys are smarter than me! lol This is my completed plate and sandwich.

Hi everyone. Thought I'd give bootcamp anther go - it is strange how you still always learn something. Here's my table.

One of the reasons I keep taking this class is I love to play with the tablescape. This time I added a piece from the Double Page workshop last month as I like to read with my lunch!

I call this "Dinner and a Movie". I watched a movie (tutorial) and made dinner (or in this case breakfast) at the same time. Yummy! I made duplicates of the onions to help as pep to my oncoming workout and instead of big pickles which I ate the last of last night, I chose those little ones (by resizing smaller). I think they are called gherkins? they are so yummy. I like them on the side. You might see my top slice is smaller. You know how it is when you get the end of the bread and you have a nice full size piece and the only other choices are the end piece or a smaller size one next to the end piece. I wouldnt normally have a knife and fork with my sandwhich, but today I will live on the wild side and try to use them to eat my sandwhich. All kidding aside, this is always a fun exercise. I totally forgot about dragging from the layers pallet one layout to another. it only took me 8 times through the bootcamp to remember, well, er...that is IF i actually remember this time. ?

I'll possibly be using this photo on one of my layouts. The wisteria is blooming at my daughter's farm in Mendocino.

Here is a photo I think I will use. I am going to limit myself to ONE photo date (November 20, 2011) on a visit to the pond at Sardis Park near where I lived in Chilliwack, BC. A very small pond that takes only 10 minutes to walk all the way around. It is on a flight path of waterfowl; mostly Canada Geese. It was only a 10 minute walk from my house and part of my "rehab" after spinal fusion surgery in May of that year. As soon as I could carry my camera and walk for 10 minutes that's where I went. Looking forward to the bootcamp and looking at all the photo's and layouts from all the registrants.
