For the background I adapted "Spring landscape with flowers" from  Creative fabrica.   The Alphabet is one that is on the $1 special (at least it is still there today 5/27) The butterflies are mostly from C F also but some may be from other places.  Mostly I just wanted to use that beautiful Alpha. 

Project 5   I again used a screenshot from an Explore live cam  (https://explore.org/livecams/raptor-resource-project/mississippi-river-flyway-cam)   I have no idea what kind of turtles these are, but it was such a nice clear close up of them, I decided to use it.

Project 4    I used screenshots this time taken by me a few years ago , It was again an Explore live cam, one I have been watching and chatting on for 10 years.  Hog Island Osprey Nest.  I elected not to use any scatter because the background etc was already pretty busy.   P S- The bird flying silhouette is one I created (using PSP21) from a screenshot I took this year of an Osprey flying into his nest.

Project 3  I again used screenshots from Explore live cams.  this on is.  (https://explore.org/livecams/grace-gorillas/gorilla-forest-corridor)

Wow those Explore live cams have nice screenshot resolution.  Do you get to watch them moving and choose your own screenshot.  I will have to check that out.  

Most if not all of them have a rewind for at least several hours.  You can click anyplace on the rewind and it will start the view from there, so  you can pick whatever is on the screen at the time for a screenshot.  There is no way I could spend enough time on any of them to get a decent live pic.  The resolution is fairly good, but I do shop the pics and sometime resize them before using them.

I have again used a screenshot from an Explore live cam.  I added a lighter paper under the horizontal text because I didn't think it showed up enough.

Here is my day 3 project.  The photo was a screenshot from one of the many explore live cams  (https://explore.org/livecams/african-wildlife/naledi-cat-eye) I think I will be using pics from some of them for these projects. 

I got a little carried away with this 1st project.  The sandwich is ham on rye with vegies and mayo,  I didn't want anything hot to drink so I am having orange juice.  I get sloppy so I gave myself some paper napkins. .  I chose the tablecloth because I think I am going to be doing mostly animals for my projects.

I have done Boot Camp before, but I haven't been doing much lately so I thought I would do B C again to hopefully get me in the mood to do more.

X-Ray vision -- How else could she know what you were doing outside or in the basement, or---well you get the idea.

S -Social Secretary --- Part of her job is keeping the all the kid's appointments, activities, etc. organized and doable.

I finally did the 1 2 3. The background pic and the Osprey pic are from the Hog Island Osprey nest.  the frame if from this week's FreeDigitalMinikit. the folded ribbon is from CreativeFabrica the buttons are from (I don't have a clue) The folds in the background image were created from "Folded-paper-textures-collection-27671119" downloaded from C F.

B = Beautiful -- All Mothers are Beautiful in some way even if they are not physically perfect.

Nice layout. Thanks for telling why the face is blurred out.  I don't blame them, I refuse to post hardly any of my family's children's photos and very few of the adult ones on the internet.  I know their pictures are all over the place becaus everyone else in the family post them.

My son and his girlfriend don't want their daughter (my granddaughter) on the internet, so I had to blur her?

I changed the photo with Adobe capture in a line drawing. All the other elements are from kits in my stash, mostly from pixelscrapper.?

I opened a blank square page, flood filled it with the blue, opened a new raster layer then used a not solid brush to make blobs of the other colors all over the page. From there I played with the kaleidoscope until I got something I liked.  With that I used the pattern to make this. 

I found all the eggs yesterday and put them in the basket, I considered giving each one a shadow, but didn't (we all know how Cassel is about adding shadows LOL). Then I started to playing with one of the eggs and removed the # and got it to look almost perfect.  I won't use it because we do not have permission from C. to use these eggs.  It took some work, but once I got that idea I just had to see what I could do.  Happy Easter to all who celebrate it.

Here in Virginia we say, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute. It will change."

You can't fool with Mother Nature. She doesn't like it.

They say the same thing in St Louis Mo.  I am about 20 miles east of St L.

For some reason Mother Nature has decided that west central Ohio is a nice target this year. After an EF-1 tornado hitting my town, 2 other EF-0 in my county and 3 EF-0 in the county north of us (other areas still be investigated), we are under another tornado watch today. Going to be a long day...

I am in Illinois just east of St Louis Mo.  We have been lucky to not have any tornadoes (so far), just some really strong winds and a few thunderstorms and so far only that one episode of not to large hail. It did put a few pings on my car because I don't have a garage.

Springtime in the MidWest USA.  From a beautiful clear spring day to hail in two days.   Photos are mine, background is a modified gradient, font is Lucida Calligraphy. Frame was modified from on of Cass's freebies.

H- Hats.   "Put on your Easter bonnet, with all the frills up on it."

As I said before, I did not do a page for each day, but here are the Titles I created to practice each technique.  If I finish any more pages I might still post some if I am happy with them.

I have not done a page for all of the days, but have at least practiced each technique show. Thanks Cassel. Here is the page I did for day 7.

I am a little behind on posting.  I have been trying to work with each days workshop but have been having some issues with my PSP21, or more probably with my PC.  I finally got one project  day 3 finished.  Oh well maybe it will go better now, I cleaned a bunch of stuff off my P C and will try again.
