When I started to think Gold I made quite a lot of golden elements. 🤣 I took the photo of these crocuses just a couple of days ago, they are coming in spades now and these lilac ones are always the first, then come the yellow, purple and white ones. The mask is by Jessica Dunn, I like her masks and often choose one of my collection. Then I started to make a golden crocus from an extracted crocus from my stash and duplicated and flipped it. Well I continued with cass-stitch-flower1 brush at the bottom and at that point decided all my elements will be in gold. Therefore the butterfly and fern leave from my stash turned into gold as well. The font is Arienne and I honestly tried it first in lilac but that looked somehow a bit funny and it became gold too. I wish I could turn my money into gold that easy, I could fly business to California!5 points

So pleased you are sorted now, Ann, we couldn't do this without seeing how you create your sandwich this time3 points

I will be attending, also. I never miss this class. I like seeing if I can help the newbies with the mysterious sandwich! 😉3 points

I wish you could turn your money to gold too. I'd be the first the line up for a hand out. Your elements look great. I like how the texture is retained in the elements.3 points

Did you register? I don't see your name in the list for this Bootcamp. Either you didn't register, or it had a typo maybe?2 points

I have not received the first lesson, which went over customizing the workspace. I see Bee Kelly must have gotten it but not me. Hoping I'm on the email list @Cassel2 points

I have finished customizing the Workspace: large icon size; large text size; light gray workspace color; unchecked Tabbed Documents; have Rulers checked;set Edit tab as default; and changed to Use classic Material Palette. I still need to find a picture to use - looking for that now.2 points

I'm in, too. I have heaps of photographs, it is a matter of deciding which folder to use this time.2 points

I get emails from her shop so I see the $1.99 specials when they appear, and that's often.2 points

I'm in. I'm hoping to use the bootcamp to re-boot my creativity. Carole, when I used the link in the email I just received it took me to the January Bootcamp page. I havent decided on photo's yet. I have a sort of idea, but I need to photograph stuff for it. I'm glad the Bootcamp is 14 days, maybe I'll actually get to finish it, since I'm way behind in two other workshops, long past (Paper WS and Build A Kit). I think I'll be using 2022 because I'm having the same problems as everyone was describing (wrong layers being selected, or if I hide a layer it hides another layer instead and just lots of random shut downs). I will use it for the blend modes though.2 points

It is so nice to make a lot of those blueprints when you know how to do them. The building comes out nicely and although we only pretend this is a blueprint and the clouds are ok, I should remove them because they distract from the building itself. If you were to pretend it is spilled water, the water should be on the building too and not behind. All this is of course only my opinion, as Carole always says you are the designer!2 points
-
it looks like water could have gotten spilled on the top of it, adds nice texture. At least you can make a duplicate and erase the clouds on the duplicate layout. I love shift-D.2 points

thank you Julie. I found it and bought it. although you got a real deal, I got it on sale, but not as good as you got.2 points

Ann, you are on a fantastic roll. Love how the clouds turned out.2 points

First of all, come and say HI once you register for this Bootcamp. We want to know who else will be there, on our side to cheer everyone up. Everyone started as a beginner, so don't ever compare yourself to others. You will learn one tool at a time, one concept at a time and you will create one project at a time. Everyone will have different photos and possibly different supplies so every project will be different. Once the Bootcamp is started, on March 17th, 2025, you can post your projects in here. Remember to resize your images to about 600 pixels AND save them in jpg format, before uploading them to the gallery (check this tutorial to upload to the gallery) so it won't slow down the site when we have lots of your masterpieces. Try to follow the tutorials at least enough so that we can recognize what lesson you completed. Now, let's get ready! If you missed the registration link or if you found this thread before I announced it (some people are very observant), HERE it is. Share it around if you want. Although this Bootcamp is mostly meant to help beginners, we won't exclude anyone for "excess experience". Some participants are back for a second (or third) round. You are always welcome. Remember that it will be the exact same tutorials so don't be surprised. I am sure you will now do something slightly different than the previous time. Since anyone can follow the whole Bootcamp using the trial version of PaintShop Pro, this is a perfect opportunity for anyone to give it a try and see how they like the program, so share with your friends who MIGHT consider using PaintShop Pro. The 7 tutorials will be spaced out over almost 2 weeks. This should make it easier for participants to follow without feeling stressed (it should never be stressful!). This bootcamp will use PaintShop Pro, and NOT Affinity.1 point

Now that you mention them, I was actually thinking I should have erased them. Not usual on a blueprint...1 point

The snowy ice looks like marble. These are "bugs" I dont mind. When I worked at this one farm and lived in a converted barn (tiny barn, the bottom floor was z-brick and sand in some parts, still we loved it. Anyway, each spring we'd have a beetle invasion...in the barn (lids were mandatory on all pots and pans while cooking! We have lady bugs and little green and blue iridescent beetles, they were so pretty. Ladybugs are pretty but pack a punch when a cat tries to eat them (foamy kitty mouth).1 point

It's' called CuratedTeamFavsPhotogKit. She has quite a few camera/photography related products and regular sales.1 point

This is a very well preserved photo that old! I find that black/white or brownish photos keep their color nuances and sharpness much better then the older colored photos that fade out over time. I have a couple of those taken by my dad when he just started to use color film, that are now beyond repair!1 point

Gold elements challenge. I turned a stem of green ivy leaves to gold, and an insect which I extracted from a photo.I thought using the Shiny scarab beetle was appropriate for this challenge. Besideds the Shiny, other scarab beetles have metallic green or bronze hues. They are a very diverse species. In the top left image, you can see how this scarab spent the night, in a state of torpor. The layout is my own, which I created for this challenge. Again I used snowy, icy photos using the blend mode for the background paper.1 point
