Hi, so I'm the second one also from the Netherlands! I already did some other challenges and they are always fun to do, you learn new things that you can then use in other projects. But be warned they can be time-consuming!

D = Daily Telegraph , also a newspaper name in many places

Nice doggy Ann! You will see a lot of projects from a lot of members in the Forum and hopefully these will inspire you to make new projects and besides that Carole comes up with so many wonderful ideas and challenges. You probably will run out of time some days. At least I do as I like to take my time to do a project.

 

See you around!

Thank you Dawn for your nice comment. I still have so much to learn but I'm enjoying myself doing so.

 

Best wishes for you also!

The wonderful dragonflies which Carole made, brought my photos from a dragonfly in the garden into mind. So I decided to combine them and this is the result. A very simple layout, for the background I used one of the photos and gave it a blurred border.

Hi Susie and Ann, welcome to Scrapbook. I too started with using PSP for photo-editing and through that came here. Now I'm hooked! Hope you are going to enjoy yourselves.

Hi Mara, I'm from The Netherlands and it is very nice to "meet"people from around the world in this scrapbook community.

Nice flowers Lynn

Hi Monique, have seen you already on Facebook and now I read that you have your PSP in Dutch. As a Dutchie myself I had the same problem that you are constanly translating. I solved that problem by changing the language of PSP to English! All the tutorials are much easier to follow that way. In your PSP go to:

 

1. Bestand - Voorkeuren - Taal wisselen

 

2. Selecteer taal

 

3. OK

 

4. Berichtenvenster - Opnieuw opstarten - OK

 

I found this the eyeopener of the Bootcamp! Good luck

This is the result of my scavenger hunt. At first I had no idea how connect all the requested elements but something came to mind. Then it was really a "hunt" to find all of those elements. The photos are mine and some of the elements I had in my stock, some are freebees from Carole (thank you for your generosity) and some I downloaded from Pixelscrapper. So everything is there!

Hello Angie, a very warm welcome to the Campus.  I started a couple of month ago here with a Bootcamp and it saved my days during the lockdown period and now I'm hooked! You don't have to have an extensive knowledge of computers because this has nothing to do with programming as such. I already used PSP for my photos and found the online tutorials also hard to follow but Carole explanes it so much more simple and now I understand the PSP tutorals much better! Don't feel intimidated by the work of a lot of members; some make wonderful pages. I use those as an inspiration and idea to make something myself. Everybody is very friendly and helpfull in their comments. Good luck and I hope to see you around.

Thank you Bonnie, and be my guest. Good ideas are there to be followed and I just followed the scraplift outlay! And the shoes came in just as a afterthought because I don't know yet what to do with those shapes.

Hi Carole, this Scraplift Challenge came at the right time because I wanted to make something for a couple of photos I made during the lockdown period while walking around our neighbourhood. We live on the edge of a village and at first I walked around all the streets and admired a lot of frontgardens but you cannot go making photos of someones garden without asking. Then I walked a bit along some footpaths and little roads  and that is where I made these photos. And they are taken within 5 to 30 minutes from my frontdoor! This scraplift page is just right for those photos and I even included a pair of your preshaped shoes. Enjoy!

Hi there, I finally  made my "mark". I had a lot of trouble doing this, Whatever I did it didn't work, it only gave me something what looked like normally typed. So I started to change some settings, no result. I even was one evening behind my PC with the mouse in one hand and the printed tutorial of day 7 in de other! And I followed all the steps: NOTHING! But yesterday I found the solution: It is in the order with which you must do it. I discovered that I must first activate the flood fill tool and change the Blend mode and the Opacity before I set the other adjustments for the flood fill and the 2 Cutout layers!!!! And now it is working really simple. So Carole I know I could have asked you, but I wanted to solve this myselve, but it has taken me a couple of days. Here is the result and I still love scrapbooking!!!!! Now I have to go and clean up all the mess I made on my computer.

And here is my day 6 with the postcard. I don't get much done these days because we are  also having a heatwave just as Carole has in Canada! But overhere those waves mostly don't last very long and this one will be ending the coming weekend according the weatherforcast. Anyway creating the postcard was fun, now up to the last day of this challenge. I read that a number of you had problems with that one, so I'll give it a try.

 

The text on the postcard is in Dutch, because if I would send such a card it would go to family at home.

My day 5, including the stamp. This page took me, luckely, not so long to make as the last one!!! I have learned so much during this challenge, which I can use on many other projects in a different form. I love all the work from everybody, it certainly keeps us busy.

Here is my day 4 with the tag. It took me a long time to make this page with all the photo's in it. Luckely I have the "ClipToIt"script otherwise I think I would have given up! But I had so many photo's of a fabulous day in january with super weather. I use in all my pages for this challenge the same color green for my text, because it is the color of the flagg of Washington State. The title is from the Cass Alpha Maker Sample - The good life, a freebee from Cassel and I changed the color to my green.

 

Now I can you making my postage stamp.

What a different pages are made from really amazing trips. Here is mine for day 2 and 3 combined. When I was almost ready with day 2 came the poststamp for day 3 and I decided to put those together. I has a long flight from the Netherland to Seattle and I made a photo  of the flightpad from the little monitor in front of me. My daughter and the grandkids were welcoming me at the airport but we made no photo's. After that it was a short drive to their home and that is what you see on the photo's.

Hello , I have finally completed day 1. At first I had no idea what to do after I had made my silhoutte, but in the end I got there. I made the mistake to do a border on the wrong layer and I intend to rectify that if this challenge is over because I have to make the silhoutte of Washington again. For now this must do.

Z = Zenith, the point in the sky directly overhead. Not directly space-related but it must do because Z is difficult!

Here in the Netherlands we have a nursery rhyme about those hats you can make by folding paper, I think every one knows them. We spend a rainy afternoon folding hats. All the puppets including the barbies got one  and of course we got one ourselfs. And I have a photo of it. As I followed the masterclass on templates last sunday I deciced to combine these two things and I came up with this. This time the text is in Dutch; translated in English it would not make sense. But it goes as follows:

 

one, two, three, four

 

little hat of, little hat of

 

one, two, three, four

 

little hat of paper

Hi there, as soon as I saw this challenge I had to sign up for it! I visited my daughter and her family last january/february and made a lot of photo's. I came home just in time before all the lockdown measures. I have already made a printed photobook; I always do that right away, but except my husband nobody has seen it so far. Since then I started scrapbooking and I'm lloking forward to making a lot of pages to add to my book. I already did some other challenges and I like them very much and I have learned so much in this relatively short period.

 

See you soon!
