Michele

Thank you, Marie-Claire, Fiona Cook, and Suzy. I almost didn't post it at all because it was not "scrapbooky." I'm glad if I could help some newbies!

Thanks so much, Ann. I didn't realize the "ingredients" would show up so large. lol

Never underestimate what you can do by combining several different pics to make one cohesive project. Removed a few backgrounds, recolored the abstract background, and the font is Airport. It actually took me a lot longer than I thought it would, mostly due to the different proportions of the originals and my OCD need for perfection. ?

I thought I would have a little fun with this theme. It started out as a black on white illustration by Henn Kim. The font is Sleepy Fat Cat. (It's a duo with one being dingbats of cats and I think I got it from DaFont.)

Q = Quietly trying to survive your hangover on New Year's Day

Cass gave us a bargello sample pattern that perfectly matched the girls I used for this! Thanks, Carole. (The font is Argaka Fashion from Fontspace.)

 

Thanks, Susan. WWSTD is a great thing to remember! I didn't realize I actually had a style yet. ?

I used one of Cass's Sports Card templates which I edited to fit my theme. That beautiful illustration is by Magali Barbe, inspired by Galliano, I think. I added a little texture to the background just to make it a little more interesting; I learned that from Sue Thomas. The font is, coincidentally, Unique free from 1001Fonts.

 

It took me a while, but I was finally able to create an album in the gallery and post the pic from there. Whew! I think I was using instructions from the archives and not from the new format. I'm still a little lost, but I'll figure it out sooner or later. ?

Most of the elements and the backgrounds are from Digital Scrapbook (Pixel Scrapper), For the Love of Chocolate kits by Sharon-Dewi Stolp. Cass's corner hearts punches really came in handy; gave the l/o just the touch it needed to break up the empty space. The "lovers" are characters from the game. The fonts are a duo called Flatface Haleys which was included in this week's freebies.

 

H = Happy New Year (A little obvious, but I'm tired.) 

Wishing all my friends here in the Campus a joyous 2023 filled with love and good health.

 

My thanks to Carole and everyone here for all the fun we had in 2022. I can't wait to see what 2023 brings!

N = Nor'easter

 

What fun...if you're a kid!

G = Gelt

 

Hanukkah gelt is chocolate money given to children!

B = Boughs of Holly

To all who celebrate <3

Aw, you're so sweet, Mary. <3

Here is my daily gaming pic for today's theme ~ Winter Solstice. I used papers and elements from a kit by Jessica Dunn at PixelScrapper. The font is AR BONNIE and I used Cass's Dimension2 script on it. The pic in the frame is one of my avatar against a lovely winter background (I made it a few years ago for the same theme). Choosing Luminance mode on the pic layer and then duplicating it above with Normal mode and a lower opacity gave it the right hue I was looking for.

Nice work, Mary.

LOL, Ann.

I cracked up when I found these purses. Figured I would do something whimsical with them. They are made by Hermes so the price isn't whimsical at all...$65,000! I find it hard to believe anyone would spend that much on an accessory, but then again, I'm not part of the 1%. The font I used is Miliki and I've had it for so long that I don't remember where I got it or if it was free or not.

I nipped a couple of pics from google for this; I believe they are sketches from Giorgia Couture. The background needed a little pizazz so I added a bunch of sparkles. The font is Brock Script, free from 1001Fonts. I just love the uppercase letters and the alliteration of the W's really stood out for me.

 

It's not really special, scrapbook-wise, but I thought it was pretty.

T = Thunder

I always love seeing the different interpretations of challenges like this one.

 

 

I've never done one, but I would jump at the chance!
