I used the QP-7 extra layout. I thought it might take me hours to find and download multiple photos on a theme, so I cut corners by using only two. Both are from Pixabay. Having a nice manageable project to work on each day is such an enjoyable task. I will miss not having one tomorrow! The dreaded blank canvas will be in front of me once more.

When I saw the insects, I immediately thought of your reaction!

Here are my QP-5 and -6 together. The pix are actually mine this time, no relying on Unsplash or Pixabay. Whoo-hoo!

Two beautiful tributes.

I don't know many people who would think to take pix of sliced pickles! But it's very funny.

Thanks for sharing that. Great to see how delighted she was with all the details.

Q = qualitied (having quality)

QP - 4 Choosing pix is the longest part for me, but this time I had some on hand, taken by friends whose house, yard & cat this is. Kitty, unfortunately, doesn't get to go out there but she lazes away in the screened porch & watches birds. I added nothing extra b/c I'm enjoying having this be "quick" stuff.

Love the Mounties and the humour!

Bottom left pic - Solomon's Seal, one of my favourites. Great pic choices.

Yup, got the right file this time.

I also opened the collage frame so instead of the FB cover that I thought I'd do, I used the scrapbook page. Meant to change the text to black, forgot!

M = mensch (Yiddish for someone supportive and loyal with integrity and dignity)

Carole makes everything easier and more fun, and she's SO patient!

I think it was Ann Seeber who used the AI background remover in PSP. I tried it with the same pic I used for QP-2 layout. It wasn't perfect, but it's much BETTER than anything I can do using the Edit Selection which always gives me grief and leaves me frustrated. This time, I can live with the results.

The framed celebration layout for QP-2 worked fine for a pic of my grand-nephew before the prom recently. I added a bubble to put some text in (Prom Night) to distinguish it from another type of celebration. I had tried previously to do something with this photo over and over and was never satisfied with the results. This was quick and easy, for a change.

Since I don't scrapbook, I chose the FB cover layout. It takes me SO long to find an image, so what should've been 5 minutes of work turned into something longer. I'm not organized enough, and I don't have a sufficient number of my own pix to choose from. But hey, it's about the fun, right? (BTW, flip-flops not my thing. Too tricky to walk in outside of the house.)

You're really cooking in the kitchen with all these great lab results and projects. Way to go!

Ready to go! Need to focus and practise.

You were correct. The "wrong" result works fine in your hands.

Only a very creative type like you would see that possibility! Great idea.

But you do point out most of them, so that's good. It's up to me to check more closely to see what settings are there for that tool at that time.

What a lovely thing that is for you.

So many little boxes and settings to pay attention to and adjust. It's an endless process of learning and watching the smallest details. More work than I want sometimes.

Great mask!
