I'll post the rest of my calendar in this forum. October - both sets. The Halloween picture is from CF of course - a watercolor. The photo was taken by me in 2020 at an RV camp in Alabama.

This is a scraplift. When I saw the layout, it just spoke to me and expressed some of the losses I've felt over the last couple of years. I can't recall where I saw the layout, so I cannot give proper credit. It felt good to do it.

The Shadow stories class inspired this. The Hawaii photo is mine, the children and santa are from creative fabrica and the text is Fantasy Snowman (todays freebee from C F 11/7/24

Well our Santa lives on the North Pole too, but in our case that is in Lapland a geographic area in the utmost northern part of the European countries Norway, Sweden and Finnland through which the Polar circle runs. His official address is in Rovaniemi in Finnland and the postal services even deliver letters from kids addressed to Santa there.🎅

And these are my 2 November pages.

Working with text really had me bamboozled for some time when I started! This workshop will help you tremendously.

Thank you, Corrie. I wish I could share some that ice cream with you. It is really good ice cream!

Last "fall" layout for this year I suppose, even if the weather has remained remarkably warm and balmy. The pic was taken at the marina park not far from me where I sometimes walk with the doggies, if it's not too busy. Oops, I see a glitch in the frame. Not fixing it since it's going nowhere but here.

I am all moved and we closed on mom's house on Friday. Not unpacked by a long stretch, but starting to get some of my craft supplies out (finished my sister's birthday card at 4:30 p before they picked me up at 5 p). Looking forward to learning how to understand some of the quirks you get when using type (just had some this project, very annoying).

I am also in. 🙂

Hi You all, I am In hoping I can do it, love you guys Art/work/Projects. 🙂

Another workshop will soon start. Are you in? It will start on November 18th. This workshop is FREE for everyone, so spread the word. This workshop is meant to be for those with some experience with PaintShop Pro. If you are brand new to using the program, it will be a little more challenging, although we are here to help you if you still want to participate. Did you find this thread before the registration page? Here it is. Written instructions and extra supplies will be available to our DIAMOND members.

Yes, that happens here, also. The kids just address their letters to Santa Claus c/o North Pole.

I only learned about the Elf on the Shelf a few years ago, and I love it!

That is funny and very clever! Whoever did the video was talented and knows their grammar. They even mentioned the Oxford Comma which is one of my other bug-a-boos! I can't help it; I'm a word nerd.

I'll be there too and I hope to have a little more time to participate more actively 🙂

Oh my goodness!!!! When I read out your translation of the invoice to him, he was absolutely over the moon. The translation means a great deal to him. I copied and pasted it to a word document, to print off for him. On behalf of both of us, thank you ever so much for taking the time to translate it. There is another document which accompanies this invoice, which I will post, when I get it, for your to translate, if you would be so kind. Again, thank you ever so much.

It could almost be a mind teaser. A sinlge image with two owls in it even. lol I love earth toned colours, along with their patterns , shapes, etc which makes interesting works of art. I very much appreciate your words.

Bonnie congrats and well done, not only the pickleball championship but all the layouts I just admired! I have only one complaint: I want some of that delicious looking ice cream 🍦

Sue sorry I just see your question now, but of course I can translate this for your friend. You will probably have guessed this is an invoice for 26 days of nursing costs in a hospital in Rotterdam called "Ziekenhuis aan den Coolsingel", which translate to Hospital at the Coolsingel and the Coolsingel was a street with a canal in the center of Rotterdam. It goes on with received from mister L.P. Nielsen the amount of 52 gulden (guilders) and 5 cents for 26 days of nursing costs etc in the 3rd class ward a f 2,-- a day in hospital from October 19 till November 13 1916. Nursing costs.............f 52,-- For the treasurer On the seal is the signature of the administrator and the date 13-11-1916 Charges.............seal f 0,05 the administrator ___________________________ f 52,05 However there is no mention what the treatment or illness may have been. That might mean 2 things: if he was employed somewhere (soldier, government) his employer paid the medical part of the bill or he had some kind of insurance for medical care and had only to pay for the nursing costs. But of course this is an educated guess. Hopefully this helps your friend. If there are more questions I'm most happy to help.

Cool effect for a lovely pic.

New Look of the photo taken by JK in the park. I used a.csh file to present this shot.

Santa definitely lives in the North Pole!

There's a country song that says, "There's no such thing as too much fun." I agree! Just being together is fun...then add good food, ice cream, shopping, pickleball. Yep, fun, fun, fun.

I think you folks just know how to have too much fun! I need more of that!

Had a little play today after watching the replay of the Masterclass.

Congrats, Bonnie! 🏆🥉

Sue, considering everything related to it, what a precious document your friend has.

Hopefully, this will be soon, Michele. I miss seeing your work here. 🙂

I also love it! I was looking on the internet for Aliens Clipart, and when I saw it, I had to grab it. Here is where I got it from. 🙂

Cute little critter! Did you make him with vectors?

She is the youngster. Players can play down in age...so, I at 80 can compete with 60+ players. We won bronze...not too bad.

I'm asking for a friend, who has asked me if I knew of anyone who could translate this document. Some of you ladies immediatley came to mind. Jack is an old dear Saskatchewan friend, and it's his father who was hospitalized in Holland during WW1 in 1916 for 10 days. On behalf of Jack who would be greatly appreciative. Possibly , it says what he was being treated for.

Good luck, Michele! 🤞

I'm working on getting a new laptop so I can get PSP up and running again.

This time, it's a Halloween layout. I always have fun working with this theme, going through my Halloween folder, and choosing something to use.

Ann, another great calendar layout. I love the idea and the photo you added behind the dates!

Here's my November Wild Cat Calendar featuring the Pallas Cat. They are found in Asia and are threatened as a species. Accredited zoos have breeding programs to help species in distress. Granddaughter Jackie's Nashville Zoo was recently working in Botswana with giraffes. This Pallas cat or Manul is being called the new Grumpy Cat. I posted a full size .png on our Facebook page for printing.

I'm in too. I know I need a refresher.

I'm in too and have done this before, but a refresher is always welcome!

I'm in. Did this one once before and need a refresher.
