D is for Daffodils - they survived the last snowstorm and are coming back.

Lab 14 Mod 1. Requirements: quatrafoil 4 - background paper; Letterboard - Travels. The picture is from RougueFile, Bongo; the font for the title is Bodoni MT Black.

@Sue Thomas That is so beautiful. Thank you for giving us the words to the song - so beautiful - I lived for 4 years in upper Michigan (my high school years) and we definitely had much snow - I loved it - the first snowfall is so wonderful - the sound of silence! @Cassel Love your remembrance of a fun time locally. Younguns do love the challenges. Imagine - an ice wall! the kids think that is something built just for them! What's not to like???

I did look it up and the Help folder said to look up in file location preferences under "File". It said that temporary files are located on the C drive under your user name folder, in App Data\Local\Temp\Corel Paint Shop Pro 2022 Temp Files. The files that I had been working on last night were there (though unrecognizable names) as .tmp files. When I tried to bring them up in 2022, they wouldn't open as the file name (.tmp) was unrecognized. So much for finding closed un-saved files!

This is a unique D!

Lab 13 Mod 12. Requirements: random stripes - I made it into a plaid; pattern of 4 images - I made several and used one on a small paper behind the pic.

Lab 13 Mod 11 - make 6 small arrows and a page of multiple arrows. all the elements, papers and photos are mine.

Lab 13 Mod 10. This was a memorial statue in front of the Cary, Illinois Fire Station that caught my eye on my annual visit to my cousin. The lab module called for a newspaper paper and a line pattern: circles, straight lines and dots. The fire truck is a watercolor from Free Clip Art. The Fire Station logo is also from Free Clip Art.

PSP - Lab 13 Mod 9 - requirements: Chicken Wire Pattern (put it on the background layer); Chevron ribbon (on the left side). I used the chevron stripes for a plaid paper and for a stripe paper - which I used as a pattern for the small paper and for the fill on the main title. The grill cluster is from PS - Jessica Dunn (one of my favorite designers); the title of grill master is also from PS - Elif Sahin. The title font is Comic Sans MS. The main title was inner bevelled and shadowed.

C is for Cameras

@Cristina I can't believe it. I posted this to you just about 15 min. ago and it disappeared. Well, anyway. I really love this. It's a stunning way to interpret that module. Way to go, girl!

This is the result.

I did a B&W photo with color showing through early last year. Not sure what discussion in the forum prompted it, but this was my take on it. I started with a photo from Laurie (a duplicate of course), made it into a black and white photo, erased the portion of the flower (I see that there is a portion I didn't erase in the middle of the flower). In my pspimage the color photo is the bottom layer and the black and white photo is the next layer. Since the 2 were together, I then just started erasing the flower on the top layer. The completed flower image wasn't accepted so I will post it next.

@Cassel Thanks anyway.

@Cassel YES - how about some instruction in Corel Draw! That's the next program I would like some instruction in. I really like the Corel stuff (including their word processor - I have it as well as Microsoft's Word).
