I can sympathize with you, because I do such things all the time, like pressing 2, maybe 3 keys at the same time, even without realizing that I do so and then things go wrong. I always close psp and restart it and most of the time that helps. From my secretary years I could type very quickly and here I learned the hard way to type more slowly. I always think computers are quick and have to accommodate my typing speed; alas they don't all the time!

Thank you, I remember Carole once said the same and I have written those instructions on the first page of the paper map I keep for important PSP things

Julie, I'm glad you are back and feel a bit more your normal self! The top 2 layouts are great and I can imagine your friend being very happy with those. The last one has indeed a somber and unhappy vibe around it and I think that although you were down, you have managed to convey that feeling very well, which in itself is an achievement.

In the end you made a lovely card with that lock, which to me looks like a heart too. We, at least I, always think things have to go smoothly ..........but in reality they often don't. Thanks to our great community there is help on hand!

I love them too and I use them very frequently since I learned how to use/make them. It is my number one skill I learned here in the campus!

No problem and if you want me to translate/explain something in Dutch, just ask. (Vraag het gewoon als je een uitleg in het Nederlands nodig hebt)

Hi, I have registered immediately when I saw this workshop announced in the newsletter. I have done this one a couple of times for PSP and will now use Affinity! This will broaden my knowledge of Affinity which I'm learning now.

Nice when you have (your hubby) kept those old keys!

Jannette misschien is het wat duidelijker voor jou als ik het in het Nederlands uitleg. Dit is namelijk best een leuke uitdaging. Op de Bingo kaart staan diverse rijen en net zoals bij een bingo met getallen moet je een complete rij vol hebben om bingo te kunnen roepen! Hier gaat het er niet om wie de eerste bingo heeft maar je kiest een rij, bv één van de horizontale rijen met String Tube, Threaded Stitch, Free, Paperclip and Simple Blocking, Je verwerkt alle elementen in een layout. Je kunt dus die rij kiezen die je het meeste aanspreekt, hetzij horizontaal, hetzij verticaal, hetzij diagonaal. Voor alle elementen is een tutorial (les) in de Diamond membership en je kunt er de tijd voor nemen om iets te maken. Je gebruikt dus 5 of 4 elementen als je een rij hebt met Free erin. De keus is aan jou en ik hoop dat je er nu toch aan wilt beginnen. Kijk naar het voorbeeld dat Sue al heeft gemaakt. Zelf moet ik nog beginnen, want vandaag had ik geen tijd. Succes!

My hubby made it, originally I had my collection of mini turtles in it, now those share the space with the houses. We have it for at least 20 years now and took it with us when we moved house. In those days my husband was fit and loved to make things like that. Oops now you know what my letter T will feature.......

Thank you for clarifying this and no apologies needed. I know Jannette has limited English and uses a translation app and I find it fantastic she joins us in that way. However I have noticed on many occasions it causes confusion for her or for us and that is probably the case here.

@Carole Carole you have me confused now. I always thought that for a bingo we had to choose a whole row, for instance from top left straight down to bottom left and use all the 5 in that row. I am not saying that what Jannette chose is wrong, you said it did count. For me it is like I can choose 4 or 5 at random that have no connection to each other as long as I say that one is for a diagonal, that one for a horizontal, or a vertical row. I know that others too have always chosen a complete row. Please explain!

Me too and I noticed on the last couple of pages she showed here that she said she wasn't happy with what she had created lately. To me she sounded a bit down and I hope she will come back as soon as she is ready. Hopefully she is checking in to see what we are up to and read this and knows we miss her!

Very nice Bonnie and such a layout can easily be made into a double page as you have shown here. Sound like an interesting group, and it made me wish for more time to do all the things I like.

They are rather small. The tiniest we have is: width 5cm, length 4cm and the height 10,5cm and the biggest is: w 11cm, l 8cm and h 10,5cm. I know there are bigger ones but they aren't massive. Those Christmas villages tend to be bigger. I love those as well but we simply don't have the space to make such a village and I find them very expensive, at least for what I want to spend. Most people collect them over many years and I don't think I will have that many years ahead of me! 🤔

The L is for our collection of Lilliput Lane miniature buildings. Many years ago we visited the southwest of England a couple of times and on our first visit saw those adorable miniature replicas of iconic British cottages, churches, shops etc. We bought some and since then bought more each time we went to England or Scotland (sorry Sue no Wales). Some we have on display and I sometimes change them.

Thank you Jeni and Cristina, I'll have a look as soon as I have finished making a photobook as a thank you gift from the swimming group I'm in. The lady who manages the coffee/tea and lesson's fee at the pool is leaving and we had a buffet made by one of our members. My attribution was taking the photos and now I'm making an album. So busy doing that and getting it printed as soon as possible.

I too follow the tutorials or lessons for Photo and Designer, but I too didn't know she was on Udemy and I will check that out. Thanks Jeni

Wow they look amazing!

I have had that somewhat strange experience many times. It is funny that you think you see something but in reality it isn't there, just your eyes playing a trick with your brain. By the way you can see it on lakes too

Thank you for the explanation on how to do it, but I had never heard of closed captioning. After a quick search on the internet I found what it is and in Dutch it is called "gesloten ondertiteling" and is used for people who have difficulties to hear the live audio, not only the words but the sounds as well, like wind blowing, a door slams shut etc.

Anne I like what you did with all the silhouette photos, it looks so natural.

Thanks, maybe I'll give it a try.

Thank you and I can only say that I like Affinity very much, a lot of things with those vectors are way easier than in PSP. I only bought Photo and will wait to see if there comes a sale, so I can buy Designer too. In the meantime there is enough to learn in Photo to keep me busy.

Thank you and I too hope that designer will be on sale. I only have the 7 days free trial and I don't think Affinity will give me another 90 days because I already had 90 days for Photo which I bought after the trial period. At the moment I probably won't ask Carole for the link and will try to learn more for Photo; I'm a bit pressed for time, my husband isn't well so I have to do more housekeeping, shopping etc. Besides all of that it will be summer and I want to spend time outside too; the summers here are not always great and you have to grab the opportunity when it is there. I'll see how it goes the coming weeks.
