Yes. You said your Marble2 was only in PSP 8, 9 and X. I found only 7 & 8 files, but they have a jbr extension, so I don’t know which one is Marble2. If any. I want to remake it to be a larger size, but I don’t know what it looks like except it isn’t square/rect and doesn’t have straight sides which is what I want.

Cassel, I just found my old PSP 7 and PSP 8 files, including brushes. I'm still looking for Marble2. Unfortunately, all these brushes are by number, only. Does Marbe2 have a number from back in the JASC days?

November - Summer - how time flies! ?

Donna, I have experience, but they have expanded the Spark offerings so much, I really have experience in two things- Patterns is the big one, but also transparent images. I think Mary is your better bet but I am happy to help if it's something related to plain old patterns or the website in general. One thing I would like to say is that sometime in the summer, before Spark, both Susan and I got a HUGE deal on a one-year membership - was it $4.95 a month for a year, payable all at once, Susan? THEN after purchasing that, they offered a second year for $3.95 a month, payable all at once for the whole year. I worry that they will start charging for Spark separately now that's gotten so big. I think you'll like Creative Fabrica.

Carole, that is perfectly awesome, and exactly what was missing! Thank you! I love this shape! (I left a comment but this time it might look like I am commenting on a certain part of the video, but I wasn’t.) I need to practice on my handles now. ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

Darn! Instead of being better than I had hoped, it's actually worse! I'm going to have to redo mine - that huge bend in the middle is distracting!

Here's mine - I want to see it up and side by side, online and on a white background, but in general I still think yours is better. In the flower world, it has "more music". Just a little if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully I'm wrong because I have made this version my preset shape. After MUCH trial and error -- mostly error, LOL! Thank you so much for the video!

Thank you so much! Is there a way to keep it even? And not off kilter? I know you get the symmetric node(s), but I also want it to hold the basic shape and not get all crazy. I was thinking maybe holding down the shift key or the control key when you nudge the node in, for example? How did you keep yours so perfect? thank you for the video…I still have such trouble with those darn VECTORS! Suzy

Grrr. Grrrrrrrr! I have not had a good night tonight! And to see you so easily get that shape makes me inordinately furious! What radius is that? If it’s anything in the range of 55, then why isn’t mine looking that smooth? I keep thinking that PSP should come with that shape preloaded!

Here is what I can get, left side. I'm using the flower side of the symmetric shape tool, not the shield side of it in case that matters. I think I used 55 on the radius. What I want to get is the right side, but if I go too high on the radius, I get a circle. Round inner is checked, round Outer is unchecked. Is this shape possible using symmetric shapes? with no pen tool?

If I were going to make this pointy square like this, I would make a square and then put four circles along the edges and delete, but that won’t get me a vector, will it? how do I make this shape? And I want a preset shape so I can change it to a Diamond with the same style. https://www.stretchshapes.net/product/4-point-shape-1/ Well, I can’t figure out how to get the image from the website to this post. ☺️

Ah, Jannette, I am so sorry this keeps happening! We use so much slang, I don’t see how any of the Europeans can figure out what we’re saying! (And that includes the English!) Ann has the right of it. It just means to get into the inner-workings. Under the hood of a car is the inner workings of the car. (However “behind the curtain” also showed the inner workings of the Wizard in Oz, so maybe not much different, afterall.) I often will delete a word or change a phrase when I post here, thinking it could be confusing, but I don’t always think about it. Just keep in mind we admire you all, and could NEVER do what you do! Google translate, or not!

If anybody has Filter Forge, see a couple of my filters. They are still there 10-15 years later! (This idea is from today’s Filter Forge Masterclass - I bought it and was surprised to see my old account was still viable!) https://www.filterforge.com/filters/9010.html And https://www.filterforge.com/filters/9012.html They each have over two thousand downloads and work with FF 2.0 and higher.

If you go to the public library, look at Dewey Decimal number 741.2. This is Zentangle and other Doodle Arts. The 740s in general are very interesting.

I am so slow because I went down a rabbit hole on songs with color in them. ? QUESTION: Cassel, on Day 3 video, around 4:43, you are able to color sample the red shirt while your plain text layer (a different layer) is active. I used to have this ability YEARS ago, but had lost it. Can you think of the setting I have messed with which precludes me from sampling any layer except my active one? It is a terrific time waster!

On the cameras - maybe I should look at mine and see if there is another setting? LOLOLOL! Gerry, Athens looks pretty fancy there! I'm guessing they went with neoclassical because of the name (Greek) Athens. Sue, quite perfect!

Oh, Shirley, I really like that! Is it called Zentangle? (The pen art). The colors are very pretty together!

I should have gone with an 8 1/2 x 11 instead of the 12 x 12, but I didn't think (and still do not think) I wil be printing it, so wh not go with the traditional square? I'm not even sure I like this! (The Title) We have one of those Robert Love "Love" statues, so the O is off kilter. I think I may have it too close; will be interesting to see it here online.

How hard can it be to put a few words and a big picture together? How many people here have a camera which takes 12” minimum photos, both dimensions? How many people here spend 1/2 hour to get a photo up-to-size by only 30% using AI? And it’s not even finished! (This is on my new 2023). I’m not sure what the 2022 would do. And the PSP X2 or X4 would only make it blurry.

There is a book called Steal Like An Artist 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative Kleon, Austin On the NY Times bestsellers list! I just downloaded it from my Public Library. the first page is a quote from Picasso. “Art is Theft”

That's just perfect, Sheila! Is Coughton Court still the home of the Throckmortons? There was a daffodil show there for at least a few years, maybe 2014-2018? because the American, Dr. TomThrockmorton, was a Daffodil VIP and breeder. I think they wanted to get a broad array of his originations growing there for display purposes.

Yay on the surgery! Doing the happy dance for you! ??‍♀️? The LO is very beautiful …great photo. And the alpha-font treatment is really, really nice!

Aw, Calli, don’t sweat it! It is soooo hard to keep people straight when you’re new to the group (assuming you’re new….actually, I’m rather new, too). Just remember there are millions of us and only one of you and it will take a while, and we know that. One things which helps is the photos. I had a much easier time remembering people with thumbnail photos in the beginning, but soon their individual personalities come through as well as their different designs, whether they had a photo or not.

Beautiful LO, beautiful woman. Beautiful tribute.

Sidetracked - yes. Sheila, you hit the nail on the head! That is at least half the time I spend on this thing! I kept seeing articles and other links I wanted to follow! QUESTION: So on this party on Sunday, 11:00 am Eastern Time, and it appears the link here will become live at the correct time:https://scrapbookcampus.com/promo/campus-dozen/. The question is: Will we been seen? In other words, Do I need to put on makeup? hahahaha Inquiring minds (and pale people) need to know! (this is an American joke)
