If you have a good camera or a scanner, you can use that and extract the flowers one by one and you will get some very realistic elements.

This is simply a photograph that was extracted. Many flowers are done in that way.

Do you have pets that had to learn to do something or use something? Let's share how smart our pets are.

Our newest workshop will soon start. Are you in? Are you intimidated by vectors? Are you at a loss when you need to use them? The challenge will start on May 26th. This challenge will be FREE for everyone, so spread the word. This workshop will be using Affinity apps only (for PaintShop Pro users, it it was last week) Here is the link again: https://scrapbookcampus.com/workshops/vector-a Let us know when you are registered, and share what is the biggest challenge or fear you have about using Vectors.

The idea of one photo a week was quite popular in 2024, and it encouraged participants to take photos and showcase them without having to create a whole layout for them. In 2025, I will offer you a little twist on this. Again, the idea is only to showcase a single photo at a time. You can showcase them as a flashcard, emphasizing the letter (you can use these free cards as a basis to create your own). Of course, if you want a different format, you can use a polaroid frame, a slide, or a playing card (like Susan was doing in 2024). Choose the format you want, and keep it throughout the year. But just make sure to emphasize the first letter! Every 2 weeks, you will be asked to take a picture of something, at home (or around your home) that starts with a specific letter of the alphabet. The goal is just to be on the lookout for ANYTHING that can be photographed. You can stage the object however you want, or just take a picture of it in its natural environment. For example, you can showcase your favorite Mug, or your Pillow, or your Fireplace. You can practice your photography skills if you want, but you can just capture things as they are. Let's just encourage each other. This is a no-pressure thread. And if you skip a letter or two, you can always come back. You know your alphabet, so you can easily catch up whenever you need to. Let's continue with the letter J. It could be your favorite Jar of buttons, the Juicer on your counter, a cozy Jumper hanging on a hook, or that old Junk drawer everyone seems to have! What will you showcase?

Let's continue this challenge for another year. We might be the ones taking pictures but we are not the feature of our layouts, so let's change that since we ARE important and have lots to say. Every month or so, the layout will be about YOU, and a prompt will be given. If you have taken the Story Week Challenge, you will find some similarities but it won't be the same. For the May layout, tell us about the houses/places you lived in. Do you have pictures of those places? If not, you can always use Google street view to gather more recent photos, if those places are still there. Do you remember the address? Do you remember some specific details about that house/apartment? As a child, maybe you perceived things differently than adults. Those could be interesting. Remember that if you want to create pages for previous prompts, those threads will stay open. There is no right or wrong order to share about YOU.

You can always refresh your knowledge with PSP while waiting for the Affinity one! 🙂

Yummy!!

Would you be able to create pages for each year of a long period of your life? What period would it be? Would you have pages without photos? Let's chat.

From what I have researched, there is a Red Eye Removal tool, but the other functions, I have not found. I am not sure if they exist and I didn't find them or if they don't exist. HOpefully, someone even more knowledgeable in Affinity could confirm (or infirm) this.

Remember that PNG will flatten to one layer. If you want to reopen with layers in PSP, you should choose the PSD option.

It is likely the simplest way to go from one program to the other for the same project.
