O = Old friends (I just had to after MoniqueN's post. :)

C = Caring

Used cass's twisted ropes picture tube and the vector tube script on the text and to make the frames. It's hard to see at this size, but it really made the layout come together. I'll post the full size on the Scrapbooking with PSP page on FB if you want to see the detail.

Ann, I love your frame! You really went to town with the stitch fonts. Fantastic.

 

 

I love your layout, Sue. Being right-handed I never thought about left-handed people in terms of a mouse. I was curious so I googled it. While they are few and far between, there are mice made for you. Alternately, you can reconfigure a mouse to accommodate you. In Control Panel click on Mouse and in the properties menu you can switch the left and right click buttons.

S = Silliness

Dawn, besides missing you, I've missed your beautiful cards. They've always been an inspiration for me and these latest are no different. Welcome back. <3

N = New friends

I'm so glad you found the silver backgrounds I posted to be useful, Brian. I love what you did with them.

 

Mary, I don't know why you're  not happy with your botanic garden layout. I think it's lovely and lots of fun. And Curlz MT is a perfect font for your light-hearted page.

Awesome!

 

 

J = Joy

Brian. I've been enjoying your projects very much and I love your web page.

 

I think these are the two backgrounds I used for the Silver Elegance project; I had them in my Patterns folder. I wish I could give you the source, but I've had them for years and my record-keeping was not as good back then as it is now. I rarely purchase backgrounds so I'm sure they were free. If you do end up using them, I would love to see the results.

 

 

With so many using the Block Shape technique, I thought I would give it a shot. The font is Jumpbox and I used the 2nd method in the tutorial. I think I'll be using this more often. Fireworks are one of Corel's picture tubes included in PSP.

 

To all my neighbors up north, have a Happy Canada Day!

Thanks, Brian. I would be happy to share the backgrounds I used. Let me know if you want me to send them to you.

Thanks so much, Dawn. I didn't create the silver texture from scratch. I used a combination of glitter and some silver background papers I had.

Just a little something to show any newbies that you don't need anything too complicated to present a page. Pretty much every element on it was done like this: Use the magic wand to select the area outside of the element. Then selection: invert; selection: modify: select selection borders and flood fill the border. I did this several times on each and added drop shadows. Looks harder than it is.

 

The font is BOOWIE.

Can't wait to see your cards again, Dawn. <3

Oh, Dawn, it's so good to see you here. I haven't heard from you in quite a while and I was worried. <3

I finally used the Paper Cutout script to create the "people" at the bottom of the page.

Very cool, Brian.

Lovely, Ann.

 

 

Cristina, I relapse all the time with CF, but only the freebies. CM doesn't seem to have its weekly freebies anymore so I rarely go there although they do offer some freebies.

 

Susan, be careful as font addiction is very prevalent! lol

Another good source for inexpensive fonts is FontBundles.net. I don't know if they still do, but they used to have $1 deals monthly that included bundles in addition to single fonts. Fontaholics Anonymous made me cut myself off a couple of years ago. LOL

I'm sorry if I haven't been commenting on everyone's projects. They are all so wonderful and I don't want to bombard this thread. Just know that I love everything I see.
