Ik heb de stenen muur gemaakt. Maar met graffiti erop. Ik veranderde de achtergrondkleuren naar zwart en wit met tint en verzadiging. Na het technische proces heb ik er een portret op geplaatst. Heb het in het lagenpalet op vermenigvuldigen gezet zodat de stenen muur er doorheen kwam. En het werkje was af.

Here is one layout I finally managed to finish. Again, I used a Scrapping with Liz template (SwL_AroundtheWorldTemplate3). Also, from her, the SwL_LettheAdventureBegin cutout. The background is a blend of a photo of the internet (Effects>Art Media Effects>Colored Pencil) on top of a vintage paper. Border stitch is an old freebie from Kristin Aagard (KAagard_July17CCM_BorderStitches_5) From Cassel: Photo mat (Lab13-06 - punched paper) -- Custom Coin Script -- Date Stamp8 Script - Text Overlay (Lab5-09) Font: Futura XBLKIT BT EXTRA BLACK ITALIC. EDIT: Also included the polka dot pattern.

The first thing I like to post is my new Wild Cat calendar for the month. It features the Snow Leopard, the gentle giant of Central Asia. These calendar templates are very large, measuring 4200 x 3245 px. I've been using PSPs print function and get nice 11x8.5" prints on my desktop Epson. I have put a full size jpg in the Files section of our Facebook group: Scrapbooking with PaintShop Pro. The leopard photos are from Unsplash. Here's a copy of the journaling which is rather small in this version: Known throughout the world for its beautiful fur and elusive behavior, the endangered snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is found in the rugged mountains of Central Asia. The gentle snow leopard is not known to be aggressive toward humans. They are perfectly adapted to the cold, barren landscape of their high-altitude home, but human threats have created an uncertain future for the cats. Despite a range of over 1.2 million miles, scientist estimate that there may only be between 4,000 and 7,000 snow leopards left in the wild. EDIT: Unhappy with the background and lower image, I made some changes.

Here's a project I've been working on the last few days as a remembrance of a friend that passed away last week from a malignant brain tumor at the age of 43. He and I are part of this rather large Facebook group that were fans of pop culture and started with Game of Thrones. We're all devastated at the loss of Ray. We knew he was not in the best of shape, suffering total blindness, but the end came quicker than we anticipated. We had been recording book readings for him as a way to stay in touch. I gathered all the photos my friends were sharing on their individual posts for his friends and family (we call it our Fandom Family). I used the cass-hanging photos script because I had 12 photos to showcase. The background is from a photo of a chalk drawing one of our group did at a convention in Europe. I had two photos of Ray, alone, and tried out the new Corel engraving-brown script on them. After trying the saturation layer effect I was quite impressed. I'll let you see the originals, also. I spoke to Ray on the phone a few years ago, before he got ill, as he was looking into moving to my area. R.I.P. Ray Fiore, you'll be sorely missed. ? EDIT: Forgot to mention, the font is Cabin Sketch.

I've been playing around a lot, and did a few that I think are nice. Just finished the Wood Working class, and enjoyed it.

Yes, we do have them over here. I never used one, because I have an e-reader, but I love the idea of the little libraries ?

A friend of mine, also a Cricut machine owner, sent me a "how to" YouTube video of Stained glass cards. Today I've been trying to make them myself. The round one I couldn't find a template for, so made it myself ? It is a print and cut layout/template. You print the picture and the machine cuts it in the right size, the rest of the template will be cut too. I'm happy with the result ?

We have them here, too, but we also have BIG beautiful libraries, so I don’t stop at somebody’s little one. I was at my big beautiful library just yesterday when, after spending 2 hours finding books I wanted, they announced the library had to be cleared immediately. I had to leave my books in my bag near my tables and chair. I just left them there, after spending all that time hunting them down and culling the ones I didn’t want. I was quite put out! Meanwhile, my next kit is for the library, specifically the 150th anniversary of the Dewey Decimal System. LOL! I don’t think there will be a big stampede for my kits, first tomatoes, now Dewey, but the classification system is very important to me, and if more people understood it, I think it would be important to them, too.

Jannette, nice job on that! At first I thought it really was a photo your took of some (very good) wall graffiti you had seen, so WTG! Cristina! What an awesome layout! Thanks for all the directions, specifically that background paper! But it also gives me ideas for some of those scripts I also own. Well, it’s just awesome. Ann, I’m sorry for your loss, and at such a young age, always hard to take! Your memorial layout is stellar. You put it together so beautifully. And such a perfect use for that Hanging photo script!I’m am just so impressed by all of it, the montage photo in the bottom right, the Corel Script, the background image, the placement of the photos, the title work and anything else I forgot to mention but which is part of the whole. I think I’m going to have to buy the script and save this LO in the folder to refer back to - once I have 12 photos of anything, LOL!

Sorry for your loss, 43 is to young...........

my condolence. This is a sad moment for you, a loss is al always sad. But especially when there are still young. But a good therapy for you working with memories and photos.

I absolutely adore this. I fell in love with him when I was a child watching the Ed Sullivan Show.

It's a walk-in little library. What a great idea.

It looks like this has become a trend everywhere. I think it's a good idea. Here, I saw an old telephone booth turned into this little library. This is sponsored by the city. I also saw a "little library" in front of a private house a few years ago. I have the photo of the telephone booth, and will try to take one from the other.

Yes, we do have a few 'little libraries' in our town. I haven't used any myself, but when our children were little, we had our own 'little library' in the house. It was a small angular hall closet with floor to ceiling bookshelves all around and a light overhead. Just enough room for a comfy foot stool! That's where we often found one of the kids, especially our son who loved to read. They also had books in their room, but this was our own 'little library'!
