This is my next intro page and it is about the weekend trip we took to Arizona because my son in law wanted to go to the Overland Expo! He went there for one and a half days and had the time of his life. My oldest granddaughter went with her dad for the first 1/2 day while the rest of us (my daughter, youngest granddaughter and I) visited the Museum of North Arizona that has an amazing art collection of the Hopi's, Navaho's, Apaches and other tribes. En route from the airport in Phoenix to Flagstaff we also visited Montezuma Castle, a big pueblo build inside a cave. The second day, son in law again to the Expo and the rest to the Grand Canyon, which is hardly to describe, spectacular!!!! The third day on our way back to Phoenix we visited Sedona and the Red Rocks, which were also very, very beautiful. Near Phoenix the highway is through the desert, another new experience for me. It were 3 days packed with so many new adventures and of course many photos to remember it all. This page took me a lot of time to do with all the tiny details. The font is Perfectly Vintage and photos are mine except the flyer of the Expo which I found on Google.

This morning in the latest email, Carole has another new script called Paint frames 1. I'm always looking for new ways to showcase photos and these frames are awesome. I've created the rectangle frame with corner boxes before, but not with the a higher opacity that overlapping or another coat of paint would give. Anyway I gave it a go. Although the script would have been quicker, these frames were easy to create. I added some noise

I love song challenges. My fantasy vacation to the Florida Keys to one of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville Resorts (he has some all over the world). His iconic "Margaritaville" song always makes me stop and sing along. I got a lot from NicePng, the layout is the template from Lab 13-06. The background is from my stash of beach kits.

After looking at the Notebook PDF I would suggest you crop your original really small, right down to the edge of the black pattern, as shown on the top of this page. Your background is too large at this point. Using the smaller version as fill I think it will look like the demo.

Wow, spectacular, Corrie! Beautiful layout and I've added this to my bucket list. I'd love to see the Native American exhibits you mention and Sedona with the Red Rocks. I did Google the Overland Expo in Tuscon and it looks great for RV'ers. Here's the link - Overland Expo West

I am embarrassed to say how many times I tried to create the paper as shown in Lab 13, Mod 6. I get the weirdest configuration when I flood fill with the image I have. I have checked and re-checked over and over the directions in the video and this is still what I get. I know it's me, but I can't figure out what precisely it is. s!

I did another layout for Father's Day, this time using a more up-to-date photo of my Dad (Rudy with his kitty in his favourite worn out chair). I started with Merisa Lerin's Yesteryear paper for the background, then threw in some splatters and splashes (b/c I like to). I added a Starburst overlay that I created from the Tutorial that Carole recently highlighted. I made the rustic wood frame from Lab 13-6 (which took me a bit of time to get shadows sorted, and looking at it, not sure I got 'em right), and I made the punched out paper strips from the same Lab module. I used the flower to cover a glass ashtray by the chair rather than cropping. It took an unconscionably long time to do, but it's done.

I see. The problem is likely that when you resize, the box for "Resize all layers" is unchecked, so the design resizes but the canvas does not follow. Have a look and see if it is checked or not.

I just looked at this PDF I downloaded last month and tried it first exactly as described. I resized the image to 50 pixels, then scaled the pattern to 100 and the angle 45.

Brilliant, Corrie, really outstanding, well done, beautiful, and descriptive. Just all of it rolled together! Plus it’s cute. No wonder you were jet lagged, they dragged you across the country! P.S, never heard of the Overland Expo. Will have to Google it.

Beautifully done, Corrie. Amazing trip. I love this area and have visited it a number of times. Always spectacular. So glad you got to enjoy this weekend trip.

Beautiful layout. That background is outstanding. I cant imagine the scope of the grand canyon. This picture goes on forever it looks like. I like how you did the pictures. They look like cards one would collect at the attractions gift shop. It will quite a ride, armchair riding along on your vacation. Only, it wont be as whirlwind and packed for me! ?
