Been there, done that. More than once, I think.

Q = Quaint (cottages, towns, bed & breakfasts, etc)

Tyson is gorgeous!

Creative idea to display your pics in different shapes.

Nice warping!

We always did that when I was a kid. It's difficult for me to toss out old shirts now. 😄

F = French Quarter in New Orleans

Recycle, recycle, recycle! And make sure you clean out your cans and plastics before putting them in the bins. Purchase refills instead of brand-new products. For instance, if you use liquid hand soap, don't buy a new dispenser every time you run out of soap. You can do the same thing with many common products.

I love gnomes. I have them for every season or holiday. 🙂

I'm a day late, but I'm here. I used one of Cassel's edge punches on a straight line, then ran the Mitered Corner script for both frames. The original tries were done manually, but I'm hard on myself and couldn't get them to line up perfectly. I couldn't resist adding a little gnome. I found the pic on Google.

Fantastic!

I thought of doing that, but I was too tired to do anything more. lol 😴

I happen to be watching Band of Brothers right now and he's in it. That was a long time ago. I don't normally watch war movies/mini-series, but this one is exceptional.

I did use the texture command. If Corel added an angle option, that would be great, but it doesn't sound promising. Adding the texture was a last-minute decision and I was tired so I left it as is. I like your idea of rotating the file and saving it as a new one. I'll keep that in mind (if my mind works lol).

As per Cassel's request in the Day 12 email, here is something I learned (or relearned) during this workshop. Believe it or not, I don't think I've ever used the Magic Wand Tool set at opacity to select an element. I've always used it to select outside of the element, and then invert the selection. It's definitely quicker using the opacity setting.

So clever!

I love it. It looks like a magazine page without the shadows. Another option would be a drop shadow on the template to make the pics look like they are below it.

I told you I have a bad memory. 🤣

Day 11 - Project 5 I'm not very good with flowers so I hope I identified it properly. If not, please correct me. The photo is mine. I used various papers and elements from Mizteeques, AnnieC, Melisa Lerin, Janet Kemp, and the little flower under the text from Freepik. Whew. I made the little boxes by filling in selections with triadic colors and adding some texture. I can see now that I probably should have varied the textures. The clip and flower were two separate elements so I tried adjusting the drop shadows as we learned in the Shadows Workshop. I think I did it right. The title font is Acmatic Personal and the text font is Aguafina Script.

I've found that I need to Merge All (Flatten) before I resize mine. Otherwise weird things can happen. I've had my text disappear.

I already sent him a copy of the layout in the messages on his 501 North Photography FB page. I hope he likes it.

It could be my bad memory, but I think this is the first of your pics that doesn't have wildlife in it.

Day 9 - Project 4 I absolutely adore this photographer's work. If you're on Facebook, you should check out his page. He goes under 501 North Photography and has some amazing pictures of the Aurora Borealis. I decided to share some of his barn shots. I created an uncharacteristically (for me) muted layout so the pics could be the real stars. I used a bunch of supplies from the ALFLT Blog Train Jan 2021. The title font is Xpressive and the text font is Sugarstyle Millenial.
