  1. Done! I posted it in my group and the two Admins Only groups for the game.
  2. I will feel a sense of relief, Ann. I've been doing this for almost ten years and the company that runs the game has pretty much given up on it. The only reason I keep doing it is for the loyal members of my group.
  3. I love this layout, Ann. I would NEVER be able to do something this intricate within the time frame I need for my daily pic. Well, I think the game will be ending soon so I'll be able to spend my time doing master classes, labs, etc.
  4. It should, Ann. I don't remember exactly how I came up with the numbers, but they work for me. (I used to be a whiz in algebra, but that was about 50 years ago!)
  5. I don't know what it is with me and "cute" pics this week, but that looks like the best ice cream date ever! The frame (it started out as a paper) is from a Scrap Designers Blog Train; the tricky part was changing the dimensions from 3600 x 3600 to 3000 x 2000. Facebook changed how it displays pics a while ago so if you don't change it, FB adds its own borders. I wish I had enough time to create more of my own stuff, but I only have an hour or two every day from inspiration to fruition. Anyway, I thought the frame really complimented the little girl and her puppy. The little waffle cone heart in the top right corner is from CF. I used two fonts, Summer's Ice Cream and Ferrero Rocker; the first one was all cones which I thought was too much.
  6. Thanks so much, Susan. First I used a black outline on the font. Then I added 1) a small black drop shadow at a low opacity and 2) a larger orange drop shadow at a higher opacity and moved it below the first one. Does that make sense? I'm glad you liked the low-opacity lady on the background; I thought it might have been too much.
  7. Thank you, Mary. I used to do mitered frames myself and it took me a long time. This script is well worth the money.
  8. Thanks, Fiona. Duane Bryers created his "calendar girl" in the 1950's.
  9. The background paper I used is from CF's Tangerine Dreams set. I found the illustration years ago, probably on a Google search (the game is repeating the daily themes from 2016, but I'm trying to create new pics every day). I clipped the girl and added her on top of the background layer several times at very low opacity; I'm not sure if that made the BG look too busy. Cass's Mitered Corner Frame script is one of my favorites and saved me a lot of time creating this frame. You can't see it at this size, but the ribbon frame has a Multiply blend mode, letting the background show through a bit. The font is Anton.
  10. I just ADORE the Hilda pin-ups by Duane Bryers so I thought I would have a little fun with this theme. The font is Morning Sun.
  11. I absolutely fell in love with this sweet little face. The fonts are Bubble Bath and Jellyka - Love and Passion. I created the background paper using the Balls and Bubbles effect (Artistic Effects).
  12. I'm sure you already know this, but CF has a bunch of cool dinosaur products.
  13. I love how she's peeking out of the hole in the tree, Sue. I imagine she could be protecting a nest of eggs? I like it quite a bit without the shadows.
  14. Parrotheads unite! You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only girl in town
  15. Fantastic, Julie. I absolutely love it.
  16. J = Joseph! That was my dad's name.
  17. D = Daddy - It's been over 40 years since we lost him, but my brother and I still refer to him as "Daddy," never "Dad."
  18. Thanks, Susan. In the very early days of computers (back in the 1980's), I knew a lot about them. Now I'm at a complete loss. Please thank your husband for me. I'll keep this in mind for my next one.
  19. Is there an advantage to having multiple drives as opposed to one huge one?
