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

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...

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. 🙂

Good to see another Dan here.

I saw there were two templates, and because flowers didn't seem to fit, I chose the other one. To choose the text outline, I first selected all of the stars and rectangles, and then inverted the selection. Then, I unselected everything outside of the story page. Finally, I condensed the selection to where it looked like good spacing to me. The poem box was a pain, because putting text in it kept the text horizontal. If I rotated it, it kept the angled shape. So, I copied that rectangle, pasted it as a separate image, used the straighten tool to make it horizontal, selected the inside, cut out an approximate of where the star would be, placed the text in it, merged visible, and pasted it back into the layer it came from - of course, rotating it back where it had been. Whew!

Hi, classmates!

We went to the Indiana Motor Speedway to view the eclipse. I just used a point-and-shoot Canon camera, but it has a 40x zoom. I got this during totality. (It's not as good of quality as the original, so I could post it here.)

After trying various things, I decided to complete my calendar pages by making the calendar larger and adding holidays in red and personal dates in blue. Here's an example from January.

I just counted and I have 3,281 fonts. My name is Dan and I'm a fontaholic.

For this page, I chose a picture of me on the actual African Queen, from the movie. That boat has been all around the world, so the background is a map.

I'm here. I haven't done this before, but I'm looking forward to it.

Before I viewed 4 Tips to use with Text on Path, I tried to make text flow on a flag. I ended up just tilting each word separately, and it doesn't look very good. But the card itself, based on the art of Mary Engelbreit, turned out well enough to give my wife a smile.

I downloaded Dozi's brushes, as suggested in Grunge Magic and I was mesmerized by the odd shapes. Using Dozi's Background 5, I just clicked it once, then clicked again next to that image, etc., until I had a pattern. Then, I copied and pasted that pattern repeatedly, until I had filled a page. It reminded me of some sort of energy field. So, I used the page I'd created as an overlay to a garden scene. I made the garden very bright and saturated, since I wanted it to be other-worldly. Then I adjusted the opacity of the energy field overlay to show that there's a barrier, but so it wasn't obscuring the garden. I call it Garden Seen Through Dimension Rift! Of course, I had to shrink it to fit on this venue, but I hope you can get the drift.

Not specifically. It took all my knowledge of Paint Shop Pro to even be able to do it!

This was a tricky card for my wife's 70th birthday. I had to deconstruct two pictures and then reconstruct them into one, which was cut to appear on two angles of the card. Here are different views.
