I absolutely adore this. I fell in love with him when I was a child watching the Ed Sullivan Show.

N = Napkins and plenty of them, especially if we're grilling ribs!

I think it might have looked better if the layer with Lennon on it had a slightly lower opacity. I had already merged both of the images onto a new layer so even though I could have fixed it, I didn't have enough time to do it over. (OCD can be an asset or a liability! lol) I was really at a loss for the background I was going to use because I wanted the flowers to be the only colored elements. I played around and finally used the Mosaic-Antique texture effect on a recolored watercolor background and darkened it using a Levels adjustment layer. The font is Lucida Bright, a system font that mimicked the original mosaic.

I used various elements from my stash of freebies. Gotta love blog trains and free sites. The sun image was originally an outline that I filled with the reddish/brownish color. To do this I used the magic wand selection brush in Add mode on all the empty spots, increased the selection by a few pixels, and flood-filled it on a new layer beneath the sun. I also used the Change to Target brush to recolor the two hanging elements. The font is Dream Her, free from DaFont; I applied an inner bevel and some texture to the text to try and make it look like the sun.

Today's daily look gave me the opportunity to use one of AnnieC's templates from a blog train a few years ago. I might have used it previously as I totally love it; she's one of my favorite designers. I found the woman's pic years ago while googling for another project. The font is Wanted Signature.

Done! I posted it in my group and the two Admins Only groups for the game.

It's my gaming group, Carole.

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.

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.
-
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!)

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.

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.
-
Thank you, Mary. I used to do mitered frames myself and it took me a long time. This script is well worth the money.
-
Thanks, Fiona. Duane Bryers created his "calendar girl" in the 1950's.

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.

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.

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).
