My lesson 6. Revisited my earlier "cruising" theme. I found I had a gold rope picture tube and I just used Arial Rounded MT Bold for the letters.

Here is my lesson 5.

Thanks. It was a photo of the sea and sky, lightened a bit from the original.

Here's my lesson 4. The text is CAC Champagne.

Here's my lesson 3. The words appear to be off-center, and it's because Paintshop takes the spaces between words into account when centering. I could use a return instead of a space at the end of each line, but that would defeat the whole purpose of the text wrapping.

Dang! I don't usually do scrapbook pages, so I forget about the drop shadows. Here's lesson 1 - again! BTW, the filler in the letters of the title is an actual photo of the sea and sky. But it's hard to picture that in such a small space.

Here's my lesson 2.

Here's my lesson 1:

Hello everyone. I haven't taken this one, so I can't wait to see what I learn.

Thank you, Ann!

Here's another. These are two of our sons, whose birthdays are both in December.

Here's my July page, as an example. I used the Vervelle font for the month days, because it has glyphs. These are two of my grandchildren, whose birthdays are in July. Their favorite colors are pink and green, so I faded those colors as a background.

Here's my cover page. My calendar has friend and family birthdays. This is my wife and sister. But I had a challenge: The picture cut off right above their heads. So, I cut a thin strip above them, pasted above them flipped vertically, pasted the original above that, etc. You can see the repeating images above them in the mask. I don't think the result is too strange... The font for this page is Gigi.

I took last year's class and my family loved the result. So here I am again! Thank you, Carole!

They never found out, that I know of. I'm thinking that took "secret Santa" to a whole new level! :>)

Day 7.

Here's my Day 6 again, with the shadows added...

Day 6 - Used leading to fit all the words. Also, wanted to make a comment: If a word splits at punctuation, instead of adding spaces, I just put the cursor after the previous word, delete the following space, and press Enter (for a new line). Please let me know, if you need me to post the words. I think they're readable, though...

Day 5 - My signature "dish" is pizzelles. I used Carole's cookie alphabet for the title.

Day 4 I guess this would fall under the achieving category, since I taught myself.

So, I replaced the background with sparkly blue. Anyone think it looks better?

Here's my first try at "mischief." I wanted to use an actual street map of my hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana. But I think all of the lines make it look a bit too "busy."

Thank you. I learned Euchre at age 10, then Royal Rummy, and was proud to be able to play with the adults. So, I grew up like you did. 🙂

Here is my second lesson.

Good to see another Dan here.
