And l go on, lesson 6.

I'm still practicing. Liked the teapot tube used by Monique (Monique, you found several tubes I had missed); and so, I took just the teapot from that tube and used it with the customDirectional Script from Cassel and made a new tube out of just the teapot; recolored a copy of my background paper, made just the teacup and saucer into a new png and used it, recolored it, made it hold tea this time, used that smoke brush in Particle shop and Aryaduta font to finish the title.

I finally made it through lesson 7 and before I make more and more changes, here some results. I add the original texture in black I used for the beads. I played a long time with the blend mode.

And part 2 Tea! The picture tubes as they are on the "line" are sometimes a bit apart, because of the spoons ? Tea font is named woodcut ?

The weather is terrible at the moment over here, so my lesson 7 is about that ? The picture tube is from the pSP 12 ultimate content. I had a bit of trouble picking the "star" even when I enlarged my project.

Still lesson 5...

Thanks a lot Carole for this great workshop you've done. Bet you were more than surprised to see so many participants. I'm really happy to have gone through all the lessons. As many among us, I too hope for another WS. May be Vectors will become the new "drug" here in the forum ?. And by the way, thanks again to Ann Seeber to have asked for it ?!

You all have worked so hard this month. I can't even keep up with reading. It's not that I'm lacking to express appreciation It's just a lack of time. For all of you a big hug ?,

The balloon tutorial is a very old one that I found on the web. It is very easy to follow. PSP Balloons Tutorial (archive.org)

I am so sorry for your loss. I will include you in my prayers with hope that as time passes the burden in your heart becomes as light as air.

Christina. Thank you. Originally the Tatting Lace 08 tube is dark grey. I used Brightness/Contrast settings at 255-0. For the mesh, I made a simple cross on an image of 50x50 pixels and saved it in patterns in PNG file.

And for once, I made a layout that is NOT part of a workshop!

One example for lesson 5, don't give up, even if I'm late..... Was a cat of a friend of mine, named NEO and we loved each other.

Worked on lesson 4....

I used the tube Tatting Lace 08

Thanks, Carole. You rock!!!

Oh Julie, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Do what you need for you. PSP will always be there, like a friend you dont talk to much, but when you do talk it feels like you've always being by each others side. Take Care. Hugs.

Monique - I gave up on using the M, but I like what you did with it. So, I guess I'll have to practice one more time!

A = A Brief History of the Tooth Fairy

Thanks Monique for this info too, so many interesting PSP tubes you let us discover! Yes, it is not always easy to pick the "star", but practice will do it, not leave large time gaps at the beginning of the learning process.

That' s a cool tube you used Monique as well as the woodcut font, fits well to your tea time ?

Happy August! Here is my August Wild Cat Calendar for 2023. The layout is from a template shared by Cassel last fall. The photo of the leopard is by a photographer from Sri Lanka named Andreas Hemb. The photo frame and the title strip are enhanced by the Effects/Sculpture with a leopard pattern. The chipboard camera art and label is from a mega kit called Cambodia by Marisa Lerin. The bottom title font is Yellow Fresh and the Say No brad was created from a brad template from Pixelscrappers. The calendar grid and lines for notes were treated to a gold gradient and I filled the background with a silver gradient. I also posted this full size in our Facebook files.

Libera, those are great examples of the technique! I don't know why, but when I saw the second one, it reminded me of popcorn... Go figure it out! ?

My time on PSP is directly related to the weather outside. It’s been really hot here. Poor air quality. Plus some terrible thunder storms with lots of lightning. I’m clearing out files and looking at old freebie Photoshop brushes and now preset shapes ? to either delete or import to PSP. But seeing those Labs all listed, I’ve got a hankering for dividing mine up by photo. So a little picture shows instead of the Adobe reader icon I’ve been going to the Library once a week to get new books in the paper arts, see the DDS (Dewey Decimal System) 740-750s. AND I have perfected the guacamole recipe. Avocados are only 60c each this week at the grocery. Life is Good.

Thank you I'm going to look into this!

I do pretty much the same as you and as some other members. For my needs it works great and isn't too complicated! The main thing is that I can remember how I set this up and I don't have to learn a new system! I think I will stick to it, way too much work to start something new!

I know just what you mean. I am a chronic over-organizer, not that you'd see an OCD tidy house, I am far from that. But I tend to over-organize which sub folder after subfolder and it's hard to find stuff. the funny part is what didnt work before, when I couldnt find stuff, led me to have too many subfolders and I still cant find stuff. My take away is...I have too much stuff.?

The background paper is one I made from a pattern in that AC program we were talking about a couple of months ago. I'm not sure how they nailed that robot down on the skateboard - but we made a couple of videos of it rolling down the driveway all the way to the street. It was fun!

I haven't been doing much PSP ing, but I thought I would do one fro the 1 2 3 challenge. The flowers are from my neighbors house, the clouds in blue sky is from a photo I took at our church, the strange paper on the left side is a picture I took of my trees reflected in a puddle after that rain. the other paper is one I downloaded a long time ago. the letters is a font I downloaded from C F, I then added the rope on the top from a free picturetube from Cassel.

OK - I'm just playing now. I bought that custom directional script - couldn't resist. Used the topaz heart gems I created with a script from Cassel some time ago. Had seen someone putting a picture inside of a letter and thought that's a great idea. Love that old Pooh bear and so put him and his honey pot inside of my D which I had made golden. Of course the background is the 100 acre wood.

I just finished Lesson 3. I chose Leaf04 and it took me quite a while, it is not perfect, and still a bit pointy, but I am getting more comfortable with vectors. I actually made 2 of these leaves, because after I exported the first try, I saw where the corners were still pointy. So I edited it and when started to I export it, I had to change the name, so I named it Leaf01B. I now have both of them in my shapes Library. I will go on to Lesson 4 for now, but will play more with Lesson 3 when I have more time.

This is my project 5a - text on a path on a picture. I had a time with this - I used Baby Lovely font at first and my computer really locked up - couldn't understand it. tried it several times and every time it locked up. I finally just used task manager and closed PSP. Then I opened it up and looked at one of my other pspimage files and they all worked fine and the PSP didn't lock up. So I just deleted the one with the Baby Lovely font and started from scratch. This time I used Ambrogio font and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if I have used Baby Lovely font before, but it sure didn't like me this time. Anyway. The pic is by my son Chris at the Gulf of Mexico.

I did NOT fall off the face of the earth; it only felt that way. There was an unexpected loss of someone very close, and it knocked me sideways. Life has a funny way of skewering your plans. I was all set for the Vector Workshop, then BAM! I tried to watch a couple of videos and tried a few shapes, but my concentration was obliterated. But I did check in to see some of the posts that have appeared. So impressive. I have learned a bit more about working with those nodes, but I have to start now from Square 2. I think I have Square (Lesson) 1 under control. I need to get back in the game!
