I would have loved to see this eclips as it is on my birthday too but that isn't to be; 😢 it isn't visible in Europe!

Yes you are right about the fun part of it and at the same time it works as an incentive to get to know more! Although I have to take a break with my upcoming trip and all that brings, but after that I'll start reviewing the lessons. I'm forgetting some of the stuff that I didn't use very much with making my own scripts.

Of course I use and love this script as I supplied Carole with the Dutch and German words. It feels a bit as my script without going through the scripting part of it and again of course I looked inside the script to see how it was done! Something I now do with all the scripts that I have or are going to buy! 😉

U = Unicorn Sundae bright pink and blue ice cream layered together with whipped topping and a choice of favorite toppings.

In the small country I live there are only a couple "woods" privately owned, so that option didn't even cross my mind!

Project #5 The end of this Bootcamp and the end of the trip to Berlin. I used the minikit crafty-eve-cpjess from the 2022 blogtrain and a frame from Sharon Dewi Stolp that I have in my stash because this kit had no frame. The font is Bremlin, the font Berlin that I used for the other layouts was to thin for this one and Lucinda calligraphy. And of course again a postage stamp with my own script. Instead of the little rectangles I used stars, like a rating for the trip to Berlin, just for the fun of it. It was good to have a little refresher of the basics after having learned more over the last 4 years. I completely forgot that you can use a paper as a pattern for text, so it will match perfectly with the rest of the papers. Carole thank you for offering the Bootcamp again, I have enjoyed it as well as seeing all the projects from the others, that is always inspiring.

Nice daffs and I am astonished that you can dig them up in the woods. Over here it is forbidden to do that kind of things. Of course there are always people who don't care and do it nevertheless, but the rangers (boswachters) can report you to the police when they catch you.

Sue thank you, your words mean a lot to me! Your encouragement and critics have helped me to get further in developing my skills. Your layouts are always an inspiration!

I like this very much, so colorful and at the same time not too much!

A combination of another photo from the Heemtuin with the split frame technique that Carole demonstrated in the Q&A from las Sunday. This is my first try of it and although it isn't perfect yet I wanted to show what I'm doing. I will practice a bit more, it is a bit different from the masks I normally do, at least I had fun making this.

I'm a bit early with my week12 but I don't think it will be getting much better then this. We have lovely Spring days at the moment and there is so much coming into flower. Yesterday we went to the "Heemtuin" in a nearby village where a large natural garden is created which only has wild flowers, trees and shrubs that are native for this area. I was able to take a lot of photos, so in other projects I will use many more. This photo is of a Prunus variety.

Susan, that you overthink was an issue with the scripting course as well and at the same time you instinctively know what to do. So try to find your own "style" and I know that such a thing is easier said then done, I struggle with it myself. But in the end we will get there with all the positive comments and help we are getting here in this lovely community.

You bet and my admission tickets too when I have something that I can use them on. I love to use the few scripts that I made and will have to think what I can do next. But that will have to wait until I'm back from my trip and photoalbum etc.

Monique, Nederlands Openlucht Museum? I think recognize the mill, but it is long ago that we were there.

Although we have something similar in our neighboring city I have never been there and I don't know if it was a great succes or not. I don't see it mentioned anymore! But there is a new thing here called Yoga with puppies. The authorities are investigating because there is fear that the puppies don't get enough sleep! I definitively won't go there, poor puppies! Grownup cats oké, they do their own thing anyway.

Project #4 This time it is all about The Wall and Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin during the Cold War. When we visited there it was a rather gray day, fitting for the feel of the place, it was a bit gloomy! All the papers are from Marissa Lerin gl-20 kit and I didn't use the brighter colors only the more subdued. The tank is a sticker I found on digitalscrapbook.com; the stop sign comes from Travel by DB Magnolia; the fonts are Berlin and Montana rough; the stamp is again made with my own stampscript and I made some paintsplashes .

But I only got the jpeg files too, but I figured out how to use them. Now I will go and download the others!

Sue you put into such lovely words what photography is all about, much better then I ever could or maybe only in my own language. But I totally understand and agree with what you are expressing and you are able to show it in your layouts to us all to enjoy!

Thank you Ann, like all the layouts for this Bootcamp I used photos from a trip to Berlin in 2008, so the museum is in Berlin too. When we were there it was a fantastic experience and the museum is really big, so we concentrated on a section of it that had these big mosaic structures. We thought we would do another trip to Berlin because we didn't see all we planned. Unfortunately the next year my husband got seriously ill and all though he survived we haven't travelled (together) anymore!

Well Julie, I grew up in the same period as you and we just got the first tv's and only one channel but we got some of the westerns as well and I watched them with my dad too.

Ann those colors go so well with that photo!

Project #3 For this layout I used the kit cpjess-Vintage Blooms (Jessica Dunn) with glitters from my stash which have a color similar to one in my photos. I had to cleanup the photos, after all they are from 2008 and taken indoors. Instead of the glitter outline of a butterfly I used a paint splash from the kit. I have some elements like the butterfly but those didn't looked right on my page. The admission tickets are done with my own script and the font is Berlin.
