For this TUT/Tech challenge I made a simple wood frame. I already have some wood frames that are not so polished and with screws. But a frame on its own isn't nice to show, so I put a photo I made of fantastic glass work by Chihuly in the frame and put it up on the wall.

Ik was op zoek naar deze pagina, maar ik tel hem te vinden. de letter is gemaakt van denim maar is bij een groter formaat onzichtbaar. Ik heb een beetje vals gespeeld. 1items was niet zoals in de film. De selectie voor de kleinere letter is niet gemaakt door te dubbelklikken maar in het lagenpalet 'maak een rasterselectie'. de rest oké. Omdat veel naaimachines tegenwoordig siersteken hebben heb ik bij de tweede een variatiesteek gebruikt. OP de bevel na af. Ik ben al heel blij met dit resultaat.

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.

Oh, that is such an old tube, I thought it was a default one in every version. Grab it HERE. I will go add it to the page. It is a .tub file, so it is from before PSP was bought by Corel.

I'm in too and was already hoping there might be another Travel Tale Workshop coming to show more of my photos from my last trip to the States.

I'm in too ?

Just signed in to say Hi. I saw the new workshop a few hours ago. Hope again, I will be able to participate and pull through the WS, because next week "Scripting Study Group" is beginning....May be I' m too optimistic and daring right now ?. Actually I try to do at least one little exercise every evening after work to get more practice again. By the way, Ann, you look smart with your hat ?!

I'm in!

I'm in. I have enjoyed doing a Travel Tale in the past and once I had exhausted my personal travels I decided to make fantasy travel pages. Last time I "went" to Botswana, in Southern Africa, because I'm a fan of the book series The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith which is set in that country and I always wanted to experience it IRL. I need to decide where I'm traveling to next but there's still time between now and Aug 21. Here is an example of my work:

Still playing with vectors. The basic train shape was a preset shape from WmTransport font. I changed it quite a bit. I made Santa several years ago from a PSD tutorial before I really knew how to use the pen tool. The wheels are from Harold's pips font imported as preset shapes. The train tracks are from a vector dash line. I just noticed a few things that I have to tweak.

Cristina I have a lot of Corel scripts too; most come with the program and I downloaded a couple that looked nice to me. Most of the time I forget that there might be one that I can use for a project.

Wow, this is great. I have to try this one sometime in the future. P.S.: I just bound the script to the Standard Toolbar so I don't forget the name... Going through the list, I realized there are so many Corel scripts I've never used.

I just finished Lesson 4. It is not perfect, but I learned a lot. Thank you Carole for the CRAC-Paste tip, that helped a lot. I added our Mr. Mooch and a resized paw line. I had the paw line in my files for years, can't remember where I found it on line.

Donna, this is impressive. Seeing the tea being poured is really cool. that background paper is pretty.

I'm going back through the lessons. My arrow is much better and grabbing the nodes is getting easier. I'm even remembering to "Edit -merge" when I want to get rid of a node and not "Edit Delete".

One thing this workshop brought to my attention was tubes. The frame was made with VectorTube. I used the teapot tubes individually and changed the color to blue.

I have worked most of the day on this shape. I just couldn't get it to save as a preset shape. I was practicing the CRAC Paste for the open eye, and the cut and remove part for the closed eye. All were on separate layers. Then trying to export as a shape. At first all it did was export the individual layer shapes but call it the name of the shape in the shape folder. Then I went back and looked at the instructions in project 2 for saving a 2 layer label and found that you had to group the layers and name the group the name you want. Did that. No luck. It wasn't until I had deleted the brush name from the shape file, and then went back to my pspimage on the group layer and then export it that it finally worked.

Mitten from Lab Module 9-12. Made my own snowflake pattern from brush and cass seamless pattern script. Edited to cover pattern showing through fur.

I've had trouble with the pen tool before. So I'm working on using it again. Made a heart paper clip and used it on Winnie.

As soon as I saw the theme I thought of my oldest granddaughter and the dramas we had with her when she lost her teeth. At the time of the stories I happened to be visiting my family and I have photos of her when she lost 2 of her teeth. The background paper is Inked Florals DD 10048 which I have in my stash and I blended in the Fairy from Grunge-Forest-Fairy-Junk-Journal. I used the freebie from this theme for the title and thanks to the Vector Workshop I made a shape out of it and filled it with a part of my photo. In this manner I can use my photos without her being recognizable! Two more fairies by Sheila Reid - enchanted purple (and teal) hair fairy on Digital Scrapbook and a gold dust tube.

Phew, finally completed !

I used Cassel's WordSlats script for this one. I started with a black background and ran it three different times for each row of text. Copied one on top of the other and moved it to where I wanted the second line of text to be. Using the magic wand selection brush inside the new words, I switched to the original layer and hit delete. Once I hid the second layer, both lines were on one layer. Lather, rinse, repeat for the third row of text. Finally, all three were on one black layer with the words cut out. I used the magic wand again to choose the black and copied/pasted into selection the picture of the woman on the rock. The font is Hobo Std which is what Carole used on her free samples.

Thought I would go for an old photo album look for this theme. The photo corners are by Sheila Reid from PixelScrappers. The main font is Tomatoes (free from Fontspace), but I used Lazy Ride (free from FPTFY) for the numbers. I've had the background for so many years that I can't recall where it came from. Given more time, I could have created my own paper with everything I've learned in the Campus. Also don't know where the party pic came from. I've been doing a much better job recording the origin information in the last several years, but the old ones are from who knows where.
