I got both Kindle books when I first joined and I have the Tips and Tricks for PaintShop Pro book, too. It resides next to my laptop.

Here is my out-of-bound technique. One from the tutorial and the other for my gaming group. https://scrapbookcampus.com/2019/01/out-of-bound-technique/

I had to go "shopping" for "resources" to find "L2". I "randomly" found "l". It "generated" quite a "challenge" for me.

Once I identified which ones I had already done, I knew which ones I was still looking for. 1 E 7 O 2 G 8 R 3 l 9 Y 4 L 10 S 5 L2 11 T 6 N 12 T2

I LOVE gnomes!

Having the photos in different shapes made it very interesting.

I believe that was Clue # 3. I ended up making a list one through ten, then putting the corresponding "letter" next to the corresponding number. I kept forgetting which ones I got and which ones I had to look for.

@Jannette Nieuwboer We have a new page for September. you might want to post this lovely layout there. https://scrapbookcampus.com/invision/forums/topic/1522-what-are-you-working-on-in-september-2023/

The main pic is from another great clip art collection from Creative Fabrica. I tried to make it look like I was using a mask. First I Gaussian blurred the background paper. Then I magic wand selected outside the clip art, inverted, contracted, inverted again, and applied a Gaussian blur. I'm sure there's an easier way to achieve it, but I was in a huge time crunch; I even missed my deadline by about 15 mins. I have no idea where I got the little grapevines in the corners and I added a few versions of my game avatar (my members like to see them). The title font is Morning Dew and the swash is Avelana Deco Medi.

W = Whole Beans. When I used to drink coffee, I always used to grind my own beans. My favorite was on Sundays when I treated myself to chocolate raspberry coffee. Yum, I miss it.

Now I know why I couldn't find it! Thanks, @Cristina.

#9 was the most difficult for me. I knew what I was looking for, but I couldn't figure out where it was. How "about" that?

I had totally forgotten about #7. It took me a while before the light bulb appeared above my head.

Thank you, @Susan Ewart. I was scratching my head...until I looked down. LOL

This is from the June 2017 1-2-3 Challenge. We had to create a page with: 1 Denim paper/element 2 Leather elements 3 Pieces of tape https://scrapbookcampus.com/Community/topic/june-1-2-3-challenge/

Back down memory lane. In Lab 6 Mod 01 I learned how to make a seamless "cathedral window" pattern, a wooden frame, and a puffy paint look for the text. I really need to get back to the labs ... so much to do, so little time. https://scrapbookcampus.com/the-lab/lab-6-module-01/

Digging into my own archives for this. It's from Lab 6 Mod 02 which taught me to make vector flowers, a string tube, and a hand-stitched alpha. I don't usually create complete layouts for Labs as I'm simply trying to learn the techniques. https://scrapbookcampus.com/the-lab/lab-6-module-02/

M = Mug

The Christmas windows are always awesome and there are still a few cobblestone streets.

This is one of my old projects from a 2018 challenge. Unfortunately, the original pics don't show in the older forum threads so we can't see the inspiration layout that Cassel posted.

I = Italian Roast

What an achievement, @Carole Asselin. Did you ever, in your wildest dreams, think the site would become this successful? I always look forward to your treasure hunts.

Our "family whistle" was when the street lights turned on.
