Day 5: I spent the most time trying to get the text on a curve! That always gives me trouble, but I finally realized what I was doing wrong. Used a background paper with an overlay blended with soft light. The pic is mine from a cold, snowy day. It's costing me a small fortune to keep all the critters fed in the cold weather. But I can't say no.

What an adorable face, and a great layout!

Just got a chance to work on Day 4 project. Photo is a wee foster dog I had for the last two years of her life. She lived, barked, and loved with the pack here. Masking the photo is a good way to use a pic with a cluttered background to soften it.

I hope you reconsider your preference to use Corel help files and videos. While they can be useful, they are NOT as thorough, well-paced, and easy to follow as what you will get here from the Labs, Tutorials, and Master Classes. They are the best I've used - anywhere!

Love that fish!

Day 3 - Used a photo of my friend's dog. They have a second home in Hudson, and their pooch loves being in/on the water. Made a kaleidoscope design but didn't take too much time or trouble with it. Added the brush flourish because I thought it looked a little bare.

Day 2 mask project: Photos are mine taken on a snowy day we had a couple of weeks ago. We haven't had much all winter, so it was fun to get out (a la Sue Thomas) and get some images. Just a simple background paper with an overlay, some blending, and a bit of text. Voila! C'est fini!

Good call, Ann. I think that might've messed me up too, so I went back to my own notes from the previous mask workshop and followed those.
-
Is that Sokol as in the Czech camps for gymnastics, etc?
-
It doesn't matter how many times I do the steps for converting to a mask, I still manage to mix it up and have to re-do and re-do! This one was fairly straightforward to do, but I had so many interruptions while I was trying to do it! But, done for Day 1. (It was, however, easier than the first time I did this workshop.)

I'm in and happy to be doing this again.
-
No please! Keep playing. You do such lovely work and I enjoy seeing it.
-
Well done, Mary! I'm impressed by your willingness to take on a challenge. Lovely result. You're using a tablet, right? I'm trying to use mine more often. I was using it then switched back to the mouse. If it makes layouts like this easier, then I'm back in!
-
Since February means Valentine's Day, I played around with a layout for that. A lot of brushes were used, a mask, some overlays and blending modes. It was fun to do. No text since I think the layout does the talking.
-
Mary Solaas, these are the perspective lines in the background that I was so interested in. Love the effect and the photo.
-
I came across this sample of a L/O on Digital Scrapbooking (I think). The perspective lines are so unusual and eye-catching. I'm sure there are folks here who will know how to reproduce this effect, so I hope someone will share the magic.
-
It was! I wanted it to not be too noticeable, but I guess it is with the blur!
-
After going through my stash of photos, I realize I could do this challenge for weeks with all the uninteresting or bad pix I have! But it's a great way to use a boring photo. I made the "hola" text using individual images for each letter for the first time! That was fun. (Some edges on frames still a bit ragged....oops!)
-
That's a great layout for the pier! And that pier is over a mile long! Wow
-
Susan, I admire your grit and determination to get through those Labs! I start and stop and start and stop....and jump from 3 to 8 and so on....but they are so helpful. I will persist.

I've known for some weeks that this day would arrive, so I began working on a small tribute to my mother and her siblings, all of whom are now gone. The last uncle just died last night; his brother died last September; and my mom and her sister have been gone longer. I'm not just an orphan but uncle- and aunt-less too! Karel (called Charlie) was 96, so we are not in deep mourning, but I do feel the loss right now...of all of them. Requiescant in pace. The photo is likely from the mid-40s b/c the uncle who died yesterday has on his navy cap. He was underaged but sneaked into the Navy and served on a corvette in the North Atlantic. I do genealogy layouts for my family history, hence the tree.

I see only "spacer.png" at the bottom of your description. No actual pic.
-
But I knew YOU"D know!!!
-
Thanks. I thought maybe that one or Slats 1. Love the effect. Don't know why I didn't notice this in the store before now!
-
Anyone suggest which Cass script I might get to achieve this slatted photo effect. It's from Digital Scrapbooking and it caught my eye. I looked in the store and there are about half a dozen that look as if they will produce similar results. Thanks in advance!
