Quick Page Day8 Quick Page from Digital Scrapbook (Marisa Lerin - Tunisia Quick Page 01). Photo is mine, very old...actually comes from a negative that is too old to reprint now. I scanned a smaller print (the one hanging up is 17x22 and would not fit the tiny old scanner I have) version I have and it lost all detail in the shadows. I chose this photo after I was looking for a Quick Page and saw right away, the color was perfect for that photo. This the quickest Quick Page I've done to date. Fonts: Resnick and Reneo (Creative Fabrica). Thank you Carol, for a wonderful workshop. I have enjoyed all the variety of layouts everyone produced. The active forum was fun and I looked forward to checking in to see the new pages and reading the comments.

QP Extra Lesson 7 I didnt change anything on the page. Photos of crazy sunsets taken from the windows (front or back) of my house in Chilliwack (British Columbia). Being in the Fraser Valley, surrounded by mountains it was a treat to have days that there was a sunset. Normally we'd have grey sky days. Where I live now, there is less rain and sunsets almost everynight. Fonts: Magista Brush and Maxim from Creative Fabrica.

Here is my QP-Day 8. I looked at the QP Kits at Digital Scrapbooking and selected one called Love Birds from Gina Jones. Added other graphics from Creative Fabrica and my stash. The Font is Fadilla and I applied an Inner Bevel and drop shadows. This was such a fun-filled workshop and I always learn something new.

QP-07-Recent Trip. Pictures are correct and fine taken.

Got there eventually and decided to keep to the same colourful theme of street art. I have replicated some of their artwork and used the 'Art Group' Picture Tube for extra decoration. It has been a fun workshop and has been good for practicing PSP with basic templates as well as good for the creativity. Thank you Carole and thank everyone in the forum for their ideas and comments. Now back to training for my hike!

Day 6. The quick page extra always puzzled me as to what to do with it. Guess I'm in a melancoly (can't spell it) phase, but Starry Starry Night just popped in my head when looking at it. So here goes.

And this is the extra - I've been having fun as you can see. May post the stuff I did with these AI patterns in PSP later - just having fun!!!

We love to fish and so we started FISHO, I used Cassel Bingo Balls script and cass-Overlapped. Font Gill Sans Ultra Bold and Bodoni MT Black.

QP-6 EXTRA - FEEDING GIRAFFES. My visiting daughter, Debbie and her sister, Laurey, plus Laurey's daugher, Jackie, the zookeeper, went on a drive-through safari on Friday. It was at Animal Adventures, The Preserve, near Binghamton, NY. The font is Corlita Serif. The photo was taken by Laurey on her Galaxy mobile. (It takes superior photos!)

On to QP-6 - More Jonah James. The font is called Things We Said. Appropriate, I thought...

Day 7 extra: the flower pictures are called floral lace seamless patterns from deeezy.com. I tried to match the color of the center flower, but the leaves on the original template were orange. Since I could not change the leaves to green, I added a flower from songbird blog train in my kits.

Susan put a song in my head with her layout. All of the clipart is from Pixabay.

I had to go way back to find 10 pictures. My grandsons in the photos are now 21 and 28, but we had a really great time at the Cleveland Zoo. The font is Broadway display. The additional animals are tubes except for the baboon which was also taken that day. The butterflies are tubes from my own butterfly photos.

Mijn laatste.

QP-7 - Our drive-thru safari. This layout was good for all the animals that were around and almost inside our car! The font is Brush Script and the ostrich head came from PNGALL. I scanned a flyer from The Preserve for the details and map on top. I will also post this in Facebook and in the comments post the little, very funny video that Jackie did from the front seat to the back and you'll see what I mean about the animals almost "in" the car. ?

And now here is QP 7. Hard to fit those heads in the spaces. I had to take out part of the flower and clip in order to fit in Emma's head. All were taken from the same photograph. We were in Garibaldi's and the picture behind which covers all of the top layer is one that fascinates me at Garibaldi's - it was behind us in the group picture - it is a metallic take on the Memphis scene taken from across the Mississippi in Arkansas.

Here is the promised layout of the unboxing of my album with the photos from my recent trip. It is just a simple page with a background of old letters but a bit reduced in opacity. The book arrived last Saturday and I took some photos when it was laying on our dinner table. The font is School and College outline, fitting for this album, hence some American embellishments. The sticker at the bottom is by Carole, a freebie long ago. Now I first have to clean my workspace, even a digital one becomes messy, at least mine if I'm working on a Workshop and doing other things besides that as well. I have to organize all the photos from my trip and name all the flowers in the photos too. I think the rest of this week will go into that! So don't expect much activity from me; at least this week's challenge about a layout with a story is not a favorite of mine! That is another one I'll skip.?

Getting started on catching up. I've been traveling around with family since Thursday so I'm WAY behind! This is QP- 5 - featuring new gg Jonah James on the day he came home from the hospital. The font is Viner Hand for the title. The label on the right was from Carole before she released her new script.

Caught up on the days and this is my Lesson7 which comprises photos of street art a friend took in New Zealand and some of mine from the UK. Font is Harabara Hand. Picture tube is called Art Group.

My second template for Lesson 6 follows the same theme of my imminent sponsored hike. I may be able to change it a little and use it as a thank you note for all our sponsors.

QP-8 I found this QP at pixelscrapper and had to use it, but odd, it was difficult to find a photo that I liked to use. This one was the best so far ?

Just three photos of mine for Day 7 - Sky Cinema.

Up to the first template of Lesson6 and have chosen a recent activity to advertise. It's a sponsored charity walk.. I would rather have had a different badge to 'little love' but kept it in situ because it has such good balance on the page. I like what Anja has done with replacing it on her design though. I merged my portrait photo with a scenery shot from one of our walks and have included a little logo that I have designed for our 'Green Panthers' team for the hike. Of course designed using PSP. I adjusted the Brightness of the background. A problem I had was when I resized the image to make the smaller jpg, it wiped out the body text. In the end I 'merged visible' and then resized. It seemed to work.

here is day 6,,

I wanted to have a go at this. I decided to go with the flow and use purple! Images all from online and only papers I made with some torn edges. Font is Bombshell Pro. I'm not that big a Coco Chanel fan, but I do adore some of the fragrances and have a few in my collection. I just couldn't think of another subject for the layout.

What a happy looking Lucy. If ever a dog could laugh allowed, she would be it. I love Van Gogh's work, esp Starry Night. I couldnt bring up the song in my head so I looked it up. It's really nice.

This is beautiful. It makes me want to try getting something printed.

And another Pixelscrapper QP, now with another photo ?

Also from Pixelscrapper. ? Text says: " This photo was taken near castle garden Oud-Valkenburg in Schin op Geul. This exudes such tranquility, you could go there all day sit and enjoy the scenery. The Netherlands are so beautiful!"

Ann answered this below. Most people would know it when making pottery/ceramics. But there is different types of kilns. Mine was for glass, fusing pieces (melting or partially melting) together. Because of the themal shock that can happen with glass (think when you take a hot glass out of the dishwasher and put cold water in it and it thermally shocks and breaks), kiln ramp up in temperature by certain amount of degrees per hour, usually stays at the top temp for a period, then needs to ramp down in temperature quite slowly so it doesnt cool too fast(releieving internal stress - also called healing. the bigger the pieces the longer the time it takes. Here are my two kilns. One I used for glass fusing and the little blue one was a table top one used for glass beadmaking (called Lampwork, using not a kiln to melt glass, but a oxygen/propane torch). There are many kinds and shapes of kilns. Glass blowers have huge ones like in Ann's photo and they will them ovens.

A kiln is a thermally insulated chamber, a type of oven, that produces temperatures sufficient to complete some process, such as hardening, drying, or chemical changes. Kilns have been used for millennia to turn objects made from clay into pottery, tiles and bricks. Wikipedia

and now the last day, showing you my mom through the early years, font is Rafting Script

Quick Page Lesson 7 This is 20 years ago! How did that happen? It only feels like yesterday I was getting up at 3am in the days before a show to re-load the kiln. This is the years I set down my camera and got a point and shoot digital camera. Ugh, it was awful. so much lag time between depressing the shutter button and it actually taking a picture...this wasnt a cheap camera either. fonts: Madelyn calligraphy, Showcard Gothic, Magic Hopes (Creative Fabrica) Photos: mine

Here is my QP-Day 7 I picked some pretty stones from Pixabay to fill all the frames at once. Font is Rockwell Extra Bold and the decorative leaf below is from Salmon Queen. Added Inner Bevel and drop shadow to both. Thank you Carole and everyone here for a fun-filled workshop. You have all inspired me with your beautiful pages. I will continue to work on the extra and Non-Scrap pages.

For our 55th anniversary, we traveled to Windsor, Ontario. I took this photo of Detroit from our hotel room window. I changed the hue to better match the photo and changed the white frame to also match. The frame was beveled. Since there was still a little white showing, I added a heart that I created using a cass script offset cutout. The font is itsadzokeS02, an olf font.

QP6 Font is Cat paw (duh ??) and the cat footprints are from Marisa lerin.

Quick Page Extra Lesson 6 I'm starting Lesson 6 with the extra. I love the layout of this quick page (I mean the QP as itself). For such a small area for the photos you eye is really drawn to that spot. I dont deny it, this is a challenge for my shooting style where it's hard to get photos that fit into a square. It's a good challenge for me. I dont have a great lens for moons, they are tiny in my images so i have plenty of space for getting that square layout. I took some creative liberties with the backgrounds going from the darkest blue of the full moon to the lightest blue in the less than full moon the lightest one is. Three of the moons were actually shot in the day...I call them Day Moons. The full moon was shot at night. I had to extract it and put it on another moons background (with permission of the "other" moon of course). i like using the selection to put the quotes in. I changed the colors using the Hue Map, it took several times going back to it. Photos: mine Fonts: Gill Sans Ultra Bold and Gill Sans Ultra Bold Condensed (windows)

When I set out on this challenge it was with photos of robins and a totally different colour scheme but then I found my blackbird photos...

I love this song, I listen to it on YouTube, very often, again and again, most of the time before I go to bed.

Mwuah.........should of chosen other pics or move some flowers to another place on the project. Ah well...........

I used the QP-7 extra layout. I thought it might take me hours to find and download multiple photos on a theme, so I cut corners by using only two. Both are from Pixabay. Having a nice manageable project to work on each day is such an enjoyable task. I will miss not having one tomorrow! The dreaded blank canvas will be in front of me once more.

Love especially the penguins and Hallo!

I don't know many people who would think to take pix of sliced pickles! But it's very funny.

My first attempt failed this afternoon, So I deleted it. No suitable photos. The photos faded away after scaling. This afternoon after a long break I got a new idea, insects enough in my stock. But again they needed a background. I made all the same for the balance in coloring. The three open spaces got a double shade of me after being selected to give them depth. I do have time enough and can work as long as it needs till I'm satisfied, so no problem. The name of the text font is Marly Tail. The flower edge is a 'true type' too named Azalea Ornaments. No shades behind as they are background images.

QP-05

Another try with Day 3, the book I found on Pixabay, "sundowner" and dessert plate are mine, I ate this dessert in a restaurant, it was delicious. QP Non Scrap 3, last year in july I had this wonderful giant sunflower in my garden and yes, I really called it Sunny.

OK - on to Day 4. I like what I did with the quick page, but am still playing with the others - having trouble with the heart - maybe I'll use some of the things I put on V is for Valentine's Day.

Lesson 5 The first quick page featuring the local fields that I love to walk in. Fonts: Bahnschrift semi Bold and the italic is Blackbird.

Thank you, Monique! So far, no news is good news. ?

Sue - love your work with the frames. This is my take. All papers and elements are mine. Played with framing using papers and the selection tools, as well as playing with inner bevel. The freebie I cut out on the tag and then inner beveled it.
