So lovely and when I see all those layouts with dogs or cats I almost wish I had some.

Besides the main updates for object selection I 'm very happy with the update for the color picker. After choosing a color with the picktool the new color is immediately applied to what you want to color and you no longer have to go to the colorwheel and click on the new color you choose. Some clicks less!

I got an email from Affinity with the announcement of the update and have installed it immediately. I read about the object selection tool but hadn't time to follow a video. First I wanted to finish day 4. This will make Affinity even more attractive for me and it is fantastic that Carol got us the 90 days trial which gives us a real chance to get to know it,

Day 4 and more waterfall photos, but they are so impressive in the spring. At the site of the Breidalveil fall we were soaked and it was impossible to take photos at the highest lookout platform. Even on the big overview photos you can see the mist around the fall, the wind blows it even further away. Maybe I will make the text bold for better readability. I couldn't help myself and put a little umbrella in.🙂

So sweet!

Rene I feel I would like to go to that museum and see for myself. I love glass and whenever I was in a situation I could visit a glass museum or glass blower's workshop I went to take a look.

I read somewhere that bees indeed curl up in flowers to seek shelter from the rain and these look so cute! For consolation Februari has now only 8 days more before it will be March 😘However you managed to do a really lovely layout in the style that fits you to the tee!

Art for part of our magazines we have waterfalls in common! In day 4 I even use my photos of the Breidalveil fall as well, but I still am working on those.

I have read most of his books and seen some of those movies were on the telly as well!

I can understand that! The 16C is only for 1 day and afterwards it will be down to 11C with around 1C at night, unfortunately it will be more of the overcast and grey days plus some rain. I really don't know what I should prefer, your cold or our rain.

Certainly an idea, over here the weather is always and everywhere a subject to talk about!😂

Seeing all this snow blizzards I'm glad I live in a country with a more moderate climate. In a part of my country there was some snow last week but where I live we merely had cold nights with temperatures below freezing point and icy winds. But that was it, now the weather forecast for the coming days says we will get a temperature of 16 C for a day on Friday.

Haven't we all at some point and maybe repeat it a couple of times too!

Day 3 Yosemite is famous for its many waterfalls that especially in spring are spectacular because of the amount of water they get from the melting snow in the mountains. I would have liked to include the thunderous sound they produce when you are near them. I had to make the photo area a bit larger to show the length of the falls to their full glory and I made a frame on this page to give it a bit more "body". Sometimes it is a struggle to get what I want in Affinity; just a frame but it took a while before I realized how to do it. The frame is nothing more than a rectangle with no fill and a stroke, simple ....... The good thing is that I probably won't forget this.

Yes this giant rock is open to experienced climbers but only on certain months of the year, due to weather conditions. It takes a many hours to complete the climb and many choose to stay over night. In the summer evenings you can see tiny lights on the wall where they "camp" on a small platform hanging on that wall. 😱

I know and when I visited, there was an exposition of his work! Quite amazing all in black/white.

Now I understand what Carole meant with her remark and I like that idea. So I changed my cover and at the same time added a barcode, which I already was planning to do. I have some in my stash from earlier magazine challenges. Now my cover is complete, at least I think so.☺️

This time without a typo!

Thank you I'll rectify and in Affinity it is very easy to do!

Day 2 and I used the whole height of the page for my photo and the mat was just right for the amount of text I wanted keeping it still readable. The background is off white again and the font is Cambia. It is a simple layout, but I changed the color for the important words in the text. I needed the text to tell something about the park, to give more context to my magazine.

Bina thank you for the gift, it looks lovely!

Simply lovely and I look forward to see more of Sweden, I have never been there.

All the best for your husband and yes it can be a good thing to use some of your spare time to do something else that brings you joy.

@Corrie Kinkel What exactly do you mean with something with a symmetric shape and lots of points? I can't seam to visualize this.

It looks a lot like the Chihuly pieces. I have visited the Chihuly glasshouse and gardens at Seattle a couple of years ago, it was a magical experience. I even thought of them as a topic for this workshop but decided on Yosemite
