Hang on, there is a chat I want to go to, but then I’ll give you my vision. LOL!

Ah, thank you! I had looked at every single script for the sale, and you know what it was I remembered? I’m pretty sure it was Bernadette Hunt’s review of the Stack n Cluster! Which I bet is why I couldn’t find it with a search. Will the script allow me to start off with a template on the Stack n Cluster? Because that option would be very useful to me.

Hi, Carole, I’m thinking I once saw a script in the store that would take all the elements out of a folder and put them in an open template. So what you would do is temporarily move the elements you want to use in their own folder, and run the script and it would open them all and put them inside a premade template on their own layers. They you move them around and delete the gray template layers. And Voila! You have a LO. Is this already a script? And if not, could you take a look at it and see if it’s a viable idea?

Quick question. Will there be a sale at Creation Cassel for National Scrapbook Day? (May 6)

Yes, I’ve opened it in Notepad, but then I panic when I see all the symbols. YIKES! HOWEVER, I have written a script myself, and it is one I bound and use every single time I open PSP. (I wrote it by performing the steps and having PSP record it).

The $75.00 price tag is what stops me from purchasing the class, well that and the non-English, non-actual words in a script. It’s a decision….Diamond member or Scripting class? More and more and more finished useable scripts by Cassel or Scripting class? So far, Scripting class has lost out, LOL!

Marie-Claire, I have worked on this a little since your post, as I wanted to do something like it, too. Etsy has digital diaries, and they have social media planners, regular planners, and calendars that start on Monday as I believe most European calendars do. BUT be careful! Some (most?) are .pdfs designed to be used in special software or with online Google Sheets. I bought two, and I now have two useless .pdf files since I do ‘t have canva and I have Lt figured out .pdf in Google Sheets BECAUSE GOOGLE HAS LOCKED ME OUT! This is probably temporary, but it needs to be brought to people’s attention if they are using Google sheets or doc. soooo, my idea is to make a table in MS Word with 7 columns. Many rows. If you want more Columns. Use legal paper horizontally. On Etsy, they have little squares for “things to be grateful for”, “things to work on”, and general YGG stuff. Just put your own days of the week, etc. then save and copy n paste for the rest of the months. do your own numbers for dates. copy n paste for other years? To decorate, use the settings with the dog icon to get your stickers and so forth layered where you want them. One thing I had been looking at was by Just Jaimee at The LilyPad. Look up her weekly templates (two pages facing each other). (They might be too raggedly for you.) Cindy Schneider from the Sweet Shoppe has a number of templates, too. And she has a lot of good ideas and monthly or weekly templates with appropriate colors.. and finally, there is MS Publisher, but you have to have MS Office. even an old version. This is what I would prefer, but for one thing: at any given time in the future, Microsoft could disable access to .pub files. And they could do it any number of ways. I’m distrustful, but if you plan to PRINT, then it would be ideal IMHO. I would love to hear what you decide and see a more or less finished product when you finish a section…a month or week, I guess. I am still enamored with those calendars of Marisa Lehrin’s.

Marie-Claire, A long time ago I did that thing where you took a picture every day and put 7 of them together in a LO. Scrap 365 I think it was called. It was hard! But I love looking at those pages! Now that I’m even older, I want to add health stuff. Documenting, “When *did* we get COVID? Was that 2021 or 2022?” I saw this digital planner (it’s a blog post with a link to an Etsy store) and was captivated by it, but I’m not up for learning more software right now. https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/blog/april-2023-sticker-freebie My idea on this was not to use it as a planner, but documenting what has happened. i have heard of One Note, but I don’t pay for MS Office 360, just an old Version of Office, so I don’t think I actually have access to it.

Happy Birthday, Carole!

Hi, everybody! The LOs from Day 2 (I think) templates -the one with the strips, vertical or horizontal) are AMAZING! Stellar! BRILLIANT! You all have done an amazing job.

Oh, that’s really sad. Carole, If you have a way to tell his family that our thoughts and prayers are with them, please do.

Ok. Here is the finished version...a brush, not a Tube, which I wasn't expecting.

Oh, I'm so disappointed! You are 100% correct. Booo!

Here is my little brush. One is the image (square) and one is a big version of one from the scatter -- where I scattered it with F11 and put an inner bevel and drop shadow on it. (So this is not a tube, just the first brush) What I want to show, tho, is that my brush had a different color center with a tiny 2 px white ring around it. When I go to use it as a brush, it is using the color I have as the fill as the flower center color, and the white ring is letting the background show thru. (but as soon as I put the bevel on it, it disappeared) and the flower tepals are just the color as-is in my materials palette. I never knew that brushes could come through as two colors!!!!!?????

Okay, that answers that question….I didn’t know if the brush treated white as another color or a void. thanks for answering. I know I could do this myself and test to see how it works, but when I do that it messes up my files and I never seem to get the bad ones deleted without a lot of problems, e.g., accidentally deleting the one I wanted to keep! raster? And likewise, can I save my little flower as a psp brush? By exporting it as a brush? And if I needed that center to show in the brush file, would I make the center with a white line around it (I forget the word - not the fill, but the other word for a line in the materials palette). Would that work?

Carole, Thanks again for the video! I am trying to commit it to memory, but senior mompmemts aside, I have to do it about 1000 times before I can say I know how to do it. Question: well, lots of questions. About what I can do with my little flower after it’s made and absolutely perfect. once I make this flower, and merge the center with the tepals, but do NOT convert to raster, is it still a vector and can be a psp shape? Can I export it as a .pspshape file and have access to it again? And if I do that will the script read a .pspshape, or does the script need a regular raster? And likewise, can I save my little flower as a psp brush? By exporting it as a brush? And if I needed that center to show in the brush file, would I make the center with a white line around it (I forget the word - not the fill, but the other word for an outline in the materials palette). Would that work?

Oh, boy, that really *is* simple, isn’t it? LOL! Thank you so much for posting it! I was missing that one step and got all kinds of very nice shapes, just not the one I wanted!

The script looks great, works great. I want to know how to make one of those little purple flowers because I am not having any luck. I figured you made them when you did the script and could tell us how it’s done. (Am I assuming too much?) They are 3D and shiny. And have a little dark purple or black between the petals. All-in-all they are cute as the dickens!

Hi, Carole, I bought the custom confetti script because of these little purple flowers in the preview. (Thinking that of course I can make them, it’s just a symmetrical shape with a 3D bevel) but I’ll be darned if I can figure it out. Can you help, please? It’s for the next Build-a-kit.??? https://creationcassel.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_9&products_id=144&zenid=qn0kktf941dlie5bun6ieer010 Sorry I can’t put in the image. I think my screen shot is too big and the “insert photo from URL” isn’t working. thanks, suzy

Is it wrong that I want to tweak these Indian Star turtles in Kaleidoscope? ?

N=Nuzzle I could do a better word, but in Scrabble it would be a lot of points!

Eligible I’ve been busy and you’ll never guess with what! PICKLEBALL! I play every day of the week with my husband! Sometimes clinics or lessons, sometimes open play. And there is one place here that has Friday night Pizza and Pickleball! They have 18 courts and the beginners are at one end and the experts are at the other end (with the pizza so we have something good to watch.)

Fiona, that fog is amazing! Dispersion script - I will definitely have to look into it! Michele, that is also brilliant…could be a paid advertisement for anything from a bowling alley to the Good Feet Store! LOL! It’s just so perfect!

Hey, Cassel, I read your newsletter just now, and I wanted to share with you something I learned from Genealogy classes I took from the Mormons in Fort Wayne, Indiana, their second genealogy capitol. As you scan those photos to 1200 dpi, do NOT save to .jpg or .png. Save to .tif. It is widely regarded as the only photo format which will survive many, many decades into the future because of how it is compressed. Or at least think about it. Suzy

Nice! Poncho is lookin' good -- you much comb him nearly daily because he never has a bad hair day! :)) I finished mine ok, but then I wasn't sure what to do with it, LOL!
