  1. I used to do Decoupage with individual pieces cut and shaped to give a 3D effect. That was many moons ago. Now that I have a cutting machine, if I need to cut something, that is what I will use even though I still have my X-acto if I wanted to do some, by hand.
  2. I think it is just the difference between those who like to work alone and those who like to work with others. Both are right.
  3. How has the weather been in your area? Was it better? Worse? Extreme? Do you have pictures of the last season? Let's show off our special weather events! Let's chat.
  4. The winners of the random draw have been contacted. Make sure you check your inbox and reply to me!!! The list of winners will be announced in the newsletter, later tonight.
  5. And weather permitting, it should be more spectacular!
  6. It depends on how you download them. Typically, you can't download from the image itself. Usually, there would be a download link to click.
  7. @Sue Booth I have not seen your Projects 4 and 5. Did you post them? You still have until tonight! @Kathy Roberts Did you have time to work on some projects overnight? You can still post them today! Even if only 4 of them!
  8. Just for the fun of it, we will be having a fun activity in the Campus: an Easter Hunt. It will be similar to the Treasure hunt that took place last September, but it will be smaller in scale and limited to the Campus blog. The hunt will take place March 30-April 1st. So you will have 3 days to find all your eggs. The clues are meant to be quite easy. If you are really stuck, you can ask questions in this thread. To keep it interesting, I would ask that nobody give the direct answers or the direct URL for any clue. I don't want anyone to get frustrated, but I also want you to browse the various articles (don't worry, there is no walking involved). Have fun!
  9. Catching up on my end (sorry I missed the daily feedback yesterday). @Bill Pearson There is no requirement to be "original" with these lessons. They are meant to be a practice, and just like any lesson, the first one is often to follow to the letter, so the next time, you can vary. That is why some people redo the Bootcamp several times, varying their application of the same techniques, over time. I love that ball in place of the letter. @Barbara Caulton The fuzzy edges of the paper would have generated fuzzy shadows so that is the whole explanation. Good correction. More puppies!!! who can be annoyed by those cuties? @James Thomas I think I have an explanation for that "ghosty" section. Did you use the Background Eraser instead of the Eraser itself? They are similar tools and can easily be taken for the other. That would explain why the dots were not deleted. Can you just check that? Otherwise, we might need to call Ghostbuster! That fishing rod for the letter "I" is so smart. Your layout is the first one I see where that letter is replaced. Good work. @Jeni Simpson That sheep is so cute on the title!!! @Rodney Boyd Yes, sad things can also be the topic of scrapbooking as those stories are still worth being told. @bina greene I hope you are getting a little more comfortable in using PSP by now 🙂 @Bonnie Ballentine It is fun that you used the acorns for the holes instead of the whole letters. Very creative. @Jen Brown Even if it looks like "tigor", it makes him look more ferocious! I think it is still legible so why not? Glad you enjoyed the Bootcamp! @Linda J Walker I guess PSP just wanted you to practice more??? If you kept all the layers, you might get up one morning with an inspiration, and be able to make it work for you. Now, you still have a couple of days to post your projects if you have not done so. I suspect some registrants did the work but are too shy to post! Don't be shy! We want to see them. Remember to fill out the survey too. If you liked the bootcamp, the format, the lessons, etc., it is your opportunity to let others know. If you could recommend it to others, I could add that to the registration page for others to join, next time. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask too.
  10. This photo could win a wildlife photo contest!!
  11. I am sure you are not the only one doing that now! Isn't it fun when you can at least "read" the inside of a script and get a feel for it, even if some things are not 100% clear yet?
  12. We all work with a graphic program and can create very interesting projects. How about creating a wordart from a fun quote related to PSP or scrapbooking? Who knows? Maybe we can turn them into frames, mugs, t-shirts, etc. The quote to use now is: "Life is like a digital scrapbook; sometimes you have to crop out the negativity." I will look for places where we can use those wordarts for merchandise!
  13. @James Thomas Keep it up! The gold glitters work very well with the theme and it gives a great texture. Your pinked edge seems a little odd. It almost looks like the Opacity was less than 100%. Is that possible? Also, the polkadots seem to be on a separate layer from the green strip. Do you see the same thing or is it only in the resized version? @Jen Brown Great choice of colors to go with those photos. Meerkats always remind me of Lion King and make me smile. @Ann Seeber Your use of inner bevel gives a lot of dimensions to your page! @Donna Sillia For your title, make sure you increase the kerning more when you want to replace one letter with something else. In some fonts, a simple space is not the same width as a regular character. @Bonnie Ballentine It is interesting that, instead of alternating the colors by letter, you alternated with phrase segments! That is a great way to highlight words. @Corrie Kinkel It is also great to have you as a student! You make me look good! I smiled when I saw another stamp on your layout 🙂 Keep it up. If you post 4 out of 5 projects by Monday night, your name will be in the random draw for great prizes!
  14. If you are having issues with the freebies, just drop me an email so we can troubleshoot. My first question will likely be "do you have an account on the blog?". The store, the store blog, and the Campus are built on different platforms so they need different logins (annoying, I know!)
  15. @Bill Pearson That is a great composition with all those stars. You also used the pinking technique in an interesting way! @Jeni Simpson You will see that the pinking technique can become addictive! You can use the same technique with different shapes and settings for different end results. I also feel like those very thin photos are unusual but work very well. @Barbara CaultonBe very afraid. Puppies again!??? 🙂 Go ahead, show us as many puppies photos as you want. You will always have fans here. One question I have about your shadows is what color do you use? I suspect that you EITHER use grey (instead of black) or you have a very low opacity (which makes the black look grey). That seems most obvious on the paper shadows (not the photos) and they look fuzzy. Is that just on the resized version? Or is that just the feathered edges? @MoniqueN.Those three photos are a great way to display a single photo. I might use that approach at some point because it really focus on the detail you want to showcase. Wow! windmill without the wings looks so "naked"! I see some missing shadows. Maybe they are just hidden? One on the blue strip and the top photo. @Rodney Boyd It took me a while to notice the bees you added to the individual photos, but that is a great detail to add. @Linda J Walker If you have elements that don't seem to match, you can try just adjusting the colors so you might not have to search too long. If you like the patterns or the textures, you can control the colors! @bina greene No need to send the layout. I was just curious if you just felt it was not suitable for the theme or the vision. Tomorrow, you should receive the link to the last project of the Bootcamp, however, you still have the whole weekend (plus Monday) to catch up if you have not done all the projects so far. As I said many times, this is not a speed contest and the goal is just for you to become more comfortable using your program while showcasing some photos and stories. Keep it up!
