L = Lament or Lamentation

Thank you and yes I'm going to print it. This format will print nicely and give me 2 cards from an A-4 satin photopaper.

A great layout and so you! You do the design elements of Anna Aspnes and Katie Pertiet justice and those fit your style perfectly.

For day 4 I used a card from the Mask Workshop - Extra 2b and a photo I took in Yosemite NP in may this year. When I took that photo I already thought X-mas card! 😃 It has text on a path and the 2 embellishments are from my stash. I don't think I am able to finish this workshop but that isn't a problem I have done this one before. The reason is I have a photo assignment and have to make a album out of it. The lady of our swimgroup has her 85th birthday this week and we decided to give her a surprise buffet in the cafetaria part of the pool. Everybody paid € 5 and one of the members is a cook and the pool director donated all the coffee and tea and the plates/cutlery etc. Today was the big event and I had to take all the photos, so for the next couple of days I'm busy to make an album that then will be printed and presented to her. If I was making this only for me I would take the time to finish this workshop, but now there is a little bit more pressure to hurry up. I'll have a look her what everybody is making and see you all in a while

Ann I like your new kitty but the wrapped text is a little bit hard to read in the color you choose on the busy background.

Daniel I recognized this great layout from the Tourist Spot challenge and it is very nice to see it again!

Due to a serious shortage of time I reuse this layout from the StoryTime Workshop that has the textwrapping. I liked to use that feature very much but PSP2023 has a big problem with that and although Corel knows about it there hasn't been a solution to it yet. The problem lies in the fact that you are not able to convert your text to a raster, it goes to a single line and disappears and thus you can't resize it for posting. Very annoying!!!! The only option to make text with textwrapping is to use an older version of PSP and then import it into your project in version 2023.

@Corrie Kinkel This is a card from the Card Workshop-7-Extra 2100x1050 which means if I make it a double card it will be a square. Printing on A-4 paper is very inefficient, it either is very small to get 2 cards out of 1 paper or when it is bigger you have to cut of a lot of the paper. Over here we don't have square fotopaper for printing at home; for photos it is rectangular like 5x7. Even when it might be somewhere it certainly isn't widely available.

Nice layout you did of my country!

Lovely layout Cristina and I see you like Anna Aspnes goodies too. I so agree with you on changing your mind because something is not coming out as you want it. For me it most of the time is a struggle before I get anything that I'm happy with......and yes it is time-consuming as well. Nevertheless I love it!

D = Deceased

Day 2 and another card ready, which I probably will use as an e-card because of the size. Even as a double card it isn't easy to print on A-4 or standard photo format. Again I used a wreath from my stash and I took my colors from it.

Now we have the Z after skipping the X and Y it will be okay to go to the next round with : A = Amen

Michele we skipped the X and Y too!

Mary I too forgot the sculpture effect and I hope I will remember a bit longer now because I actually like it!
