I was ready to wrap it up after the second one, but I pushed myself to do the third as it was more complicated. I ended up adding a bunch of cusp nodes for that one.

If you find where to get a better memory, please let me know!

Thanks, Corrie. Sometimes I just go through the scripts list and try them out on the project I've selected. That's how I came up with using the script for this one.

When is/was the dinosaur party, Cassel? I just ran across this: https://www.creativefabrica.com/product/my-super-cute-dinosaur-alphabet-set/

There's no time limit, Sharon. If you ever find the time, you can always give it another shot. By the way, I've been sticking with 2022 because there seem to be too many glitches in 2023

I'm so exhausted after doing these. I had to keep deleting, redoing, and re-saving my image files and shape files. I think I understand the process now; we'll see when I do Day 3. LOL I have a couple of labels for you, a label that ended up being a hat (?), and a pair of lips. I'm going to get some sleep now.

We all have to start somewhere, Marvin. If you could see the things I produced when I was a beginner, you would feel much better. Just keep it up and you'll get there. BTW, I think the shapes you created are just fine. Workshops are for learning. ?

So good to see you back, Lynda. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I thought the PhotoBlocks script would go well with the theme; it's the top layer. The original artwork (before all the blocks) is by Michael Lang. I added some Gaussian Blur to the original layer, lowered the opacity a lot, and put a light blue layer under it. The font is Microsoft Tai Le.

Thanks, Sue, but I do have OCD. lol

I use whatever size Carol is using in the workshops/classes. When I'm making my own layouts I usually use 3000 x 2000 since I'm always posting them on FB. I think the default settings are 10 x 10 for the grid, but you can change it if necessary. Go to View: Grid, Guide & Snap Properties. You can change your default settings, but I always change the settings for the current image.

Day 2: Creating a vector rectangle with Show Nodes allows you to move a node to get rounded corners. MIND BLOWN! I hope I remember this because it will certainly come in handy.

I usually only use guides, but I would have had to create too many. That's why the grid came in handy. Once you get used to it, you'll love it. OCD can be a curse or a helping hand...sometimes both at the same time. lol

Here are mine for Day 1. As I commented earlier, I use both guides and grids to get my vectors symmetrical. I love all the different results I'm seeing. You are all always an inspiration to me.
