Lab 14 Mod 6. This one was definitely not my favorite - I really don't like torn paper and never used it when I was doing physical scrapbooking. However, I have several of the torn pieces of paper 2 of which I used in this layout. The bubble paper was interesting and I made several papers and a pattern also. Oh, yes, I did make a mask of the torn paper and it was made from the layers>mask layer> from image - I finally got it to incorporate the edges that were feathered and not of the same opacity as the center. I've used the pictures before. the ribbon of fish was made in another lab and the cluster of fishing equipment was made for another layout and lab.

A beautiful tribute to your grandmother and great grandmother. About 50 years earlier, my grandmother brought her 2 youngest children with her in 3rd class steerage to the Upper Michigan area in USA to be with her husband, leaving her 2 oldest children in servitude in the Tyrol until they could afford to bring them here. Her 2 oldest children were my grandmother and her brother. They traveled here in steerage a few years later. The draw to the UP was the iron ore mines that were advertising in Europe for workers in the mines. That area turned out, as a result, in being settled by many different nationalities from upper Europe.

Another lab done - Lab 14 Mod 5. The font is Bell MT; requirements: knot in a rope (not really happy with it, but it is what it is); and craft paper envelope. The photo was taken by my daughter as we were following along with a FedEx plane in the sky and a Goodyear Blimp (I'll use the blimp sometime later). The ledger paper I made in another lab (in several colors); the background paper was made from a picture I took of my cousin's couch pillow (I'm always looking for textures and interesting items to make into a pattern for papers, etc.) I have the pillow pattern in several different colors using Hue,Saturation,Lightness.

Back to the Labs. Lab 14 mod 4. Requirements: pawprint paper using the bubbles to make large and small paw prints colored in many colors - background (the background paper for the pics I made also using a different technique); paper text: the side bar: "a dog's life". The title font is Adventure Island Script.

@Anne Lamp I'm fascinated with what you have done with the silhouettes. You have an interesting mind. LOVE IT!!!🥰😁

The 7th and last of the Vector Workshop for PSP. The knife tool is a very interesting tool. I believe it is used for the making of paper clips also. I'm sure there are several other uses to use that tool for. I tried it on the heart I made to turn it into a "bleeding heart flower", but I failed. I'll post this in the q&a thread. Anyway, I finished with the partial circle and the partial text. The text I used was Adventure Island Script. The gradient background I made with pink and green from my Spring Kit colors.

And 6. Vector Tube Script on a preset image and Vector Tube Script on text.

Back on the Vector Workshop. This is the 5th day - words on a path on a picture and words above and below a circle on a picture.

I'm still working on the Vector Workshop for PSP (2025). This is my teacup with black coffee - hot- steaming hot!

3rd Day - outline of leaf pattern. I chose the multiple leaves. And I filled it in after outlining it.

2nd day. I did make some labels, but I know how to export them to shapes, however, I didn't export these - I simply made them in png format (saved the pspimage) and will display them in jpg. The second one using 2 different shapes, I tried looking at outlining them and also trying label styles - bevel. It was interesting on the 2nd one - I wanted the 2 flower shapes to be under the rectangle, although the rectangle was not the top one in my group - so I had to move that layer to the top. Working with Group with vectors is interesting - I don't know if I have really played around with multiple shapes in a group before - well, maybe when I created the Interstate Sign.
