I used paper templates. The heart tag I saw on the telly, which caught my eye, so I created my own. Paper clip, ( I had previously made, all I had to do was colourize it.) Wood tokens and folded corners. I used one of Carole's punches on the arrow note. Every day, the hares are getting darker, casting their white winter coats for summer ones.

K = Kalmia Another flower that starts with K is Kalmia. It is a shrub-type flower commonly found in North America Eastern Part. It is known for its different names, such as ivy bush, mountain ivy, American laurel, Calico Bush, and other words. This type of flower can grow for like 25 feet and blooms during summer and spring. This beautiful flower has dots of pink with its white color. This looks a lot like our Mountain Laurel.

From February 2022 Masks Workshop - Ukranian Sunflowers

Revisited and revised an old one. I have no idea where I got the cherry blossom clip art or the lovely pic I used for the slats, but the font is Asia Pacific, free from DaFont.

Edited. folded corner on the photo.

Ann, their heads and the shape of the tree, as it comes together at the bottom, make a heart shape! BRILLIANT! What a beautiful shot.

Week Fourteen - 04/07/24 - Baby great horned owls well camouflaged in a tree and trying to look fierce. 😆 Photo by my buddy Michael Turek. Font is Valentina.

It is true that TYPICALLY, you would not have the same thing on both sides if it is a photo. For a paper, it might be expected. Anja has a good solution, which is to "replace" anything that is not typical, with something more typical (like, do you remember that the back of polaroid photos were black?). To make sure that you use the right size/shape, you would do that with the Locked transparency. If you plan ahead to have two different layers, then you would start with the two layers together and when it is time to make a selection, you will delete the top layer (which won't be seen) and promote the bottom one, which will flip on top of the other in the fold.

Because I like this theme challenge and I like this mask I made another layout using a photo from a crabapple (Malus) tree in my neighborhood. With a more colorful photo and another background it looks completely different. The background is made with 2 papers and a blendmode; all the elements are by Jessica Dunn and I made a very thin frame and the font is Beladine Gadelia.

U=Ursinia calenduliflora

In April, our monthly theme is FLOWERS. With the arrival of Spring (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), we are looking forward to those colorful additions to our landscape and our gardens. Let's find various names of flowers, flower parts, or flower projects starting with each letter of the alphabet. And if you happen to have a quick photo to share, we will just get a very colorful thread. Let's go!

kit ciel bleu by Regina Falango

P = poppy

I think you can the selection promote to a new layer and fill it with white or another color

Very pretty!

I = Impatiens

This question has an article on the blog: https://scrapbookcampus.com/2020/12/fixing-exposure-on-partial-photos/ Would that help?

April Showers Papers and puddles from Jessica Dunn on PS/DS. The people are characters from the game. The font is AlphaShapes raindrops, free from DaFont. The creator is Fonts & Things and they have some very interesting fonts https://www.dafont.com/fonts-n-things.d1209.

It took a while to extract these Roses from photos I have taken over the years. The frame is one of cass-ColoredPetals-SquareFrame. I kept looking at it and decided it needed a frame and found the perfect one for it.

The last couple of weeks in every patch of grass along roadsides and in public gardens is colored by "speenkruid" ( pilewort - ranunculus ficaria - lesser celandine) and this week I finally got the time to take a photo when we had a sunny spell.

This past week we have some stunning sunsets and sunrises. The temps are rising slowly, obviously the ground is still frozen, hense the standing water. Rainbows are created by water droplets in the air. The colours are wave lengths of light. Like in a sunrise, as in the image below. Red is recalled the red shift, as the light is stretched. Stretched light causes the red colour.

D - Daffodil (was my mother's favorite flower)

C = calendula

B = blue eyed grass

A = Anenome

Z- Zinnia

After a mild and warm March, we are having a much wetter and colder April so far. There are a few early bulbs out here but they're biding their time. I had to dig into old pix to find one from my own garden a number of years ago. The mask I used is the free one from Jessica at Curio Pantry. I blended a couple of background papers, used some splashes and splatters and some squiggles.

Hope you all had a fab Easter. My PC slowly died over the last couple of weeks but now have a new fast one. I am still suffering from the effects of Vertigo and have to ride it out as there are no meds for allieviating my symptoms. However, I do think it is gradually going but very slowly. Anyhow, unknown to me I did not know of this months challenge and only saw it tonight. As I have finished colouring and shading a line image of Daffodils today too it will fit the bill here. I also had made a plant stand image last year so put the two together. I find that playing with my PSP helps with concentration at the moment and I did feel lost without it. TFL.

Sorry, guys for the confusion. I must have been helping out with literacy too much that day.... we were signing a litercy verse song 'the queen always has her umbrella' and seriously that must have made me put the u after the q in the alphabet. Sorry again. I will have to study more 😉

X = Xyris commonly called yellow-eyed grass

Ann, to the rescue! pretty

I think we are boycotting "U's" this week, that's the memo I got. hahaha, sorry, my job kicked my butt to curb last night so I was a little bleary-eyed when I posted. I will write the alphabet out today and post by the computer so thinking wont be required of me. 😔

T = Tulip

S - Snapdragon

R = Rose, The name rose comes from the Latin rosa.

W = Western Salsify

U= Ugni (Ugni molinae), also known as New Zealand cranberry.

Font is Myriad, most graphics Jen Maddock, some myself.

UK WIld Flowers. I have many favourites. The Campion which flourishes in hedgerows all over the country, can flower almost all year round in some areas. Wales and Cornwall, especially so. I used one of Carole's lace picture tubes, edge magic script on the flower elements, which I created myself, adding the flowers names on a curve, as the flowers are vectors. As for the tile, I went wild using many different fonts, and colours from the photos. Due to compression, some of the flowers names in the flowers may not be legible. Forget me nots, Primroses, Cowslips, Shepherds smock. The main photo is a macro shot of the Campion flower.

Q = Queen's Cup (Clintonia uniflora) it belongs to the Liliaceae family and grows in subalpine regions of North America, Europe and Asia.

P = Pansy

K = Kale

And here is a second project, about a place in Germany (say shtorkoh, meaning storks in English) Storkow about a 40 minutes drive east of Berlin and 20 minutes west from the Polish border. It is part of the outer, historic military ring around Berlin. Interesting place. Graphics JBS and Marisa Lerin, fonts are Qiara on title and Poppins on body.

Another one from the 1960. Some graphics JBS Designs, rest myself. Again 10x8 inches, fonts are Lato on body, Pacifico on title Rock Beach on location and Georgia on date.

H- helenium

I will start with another version of these daffodils that I posted last month. I do play with flower pictures a lot an could really go crazy with this theme.
