Inspired by a layout from Promethean Concepts by Laurel Stone in the ALFLT January 2022 Blog Train, Heart Full of Love. The font is Poor Richard; I have a lot of valentine/heart fonts, but I thought the template had enough hearts already lol. In fact, there was another bunch of hearts on the top that I deleted to have room for my titles.

I love it, Mireille! Just added this to my favorites in the store!

Thanks so much for the WOWZERS, Susan. I have to give credit for the dots in the middle to the original illustrator, Bahar. But I have done half and half on some things I've done.

G = Games

I got started really late for this daily pic so I relied on my scrapbooking supplies. Found this gorgeous photo on Unsplash which is a wonderful resource; the photographer is Lane Jackman. I used a paper from the ALFLT Jan 2021 Blog Train for the background and another one to make the ribbons. The flower was also in the blog train. The layout was inspired by one of Marisa Lerin's templates from Digital Scrapbook, formerly Pixel Scrapper. The font is Sugarstyle Millenial free from dafont.

Created the polka dot paper using a pattern I made (I'm sure I learned it from Cassel). The yellow stripes were simply rectangular selection on different layers flood-filled with the color from the original illustration by Bahar. The font is Morebig Sans found through the Free Design Resources newsletter. Lately I've been using drop shadows with zero blur to give my text a little more depth (don't know if that's the right word.).

Being a big Doctor Who fan, I downloaded those time travel backgrounds, too. I love what you did with this one!

I use my mouse on my laptop which is definitely not as good as a tablet and pen. I've never entertained a tablet and pen; as I told you earlier I cannot draw to save my life. LOL

I absolutely love this, Mary. Not being gifted with drawing skills, I have a tough time using the Pen Tool. Do you remember which mode you used?

For today's daily theme I had these wonderful illustrations by Lorraine Dell Wood from her Flirty Hat series. I used a template from Corel and made it my own. In order to get the borders around the pics: 1) Merged each of the groups; 2) Selected the outside of each one with the magic wand; 3) Inverted the selection; 4) Select selection borders and flood filled. I followed the Lined Paper tutorial in the Campus for the background. The font is RiotSquad, free from DaFont. I actually had a tough time picking a font and settled on this one as my deadline was quickly approaching.

Susan, your words of encouragement are both appreciated and inspirational. I'll try to remind myself to share other non-"scrapbooky" layouts.

Thank you, Marie-Claire, Fiona Cook, and Suzy. I almost didn't post it at all because it was not "scrapbooky." I'm glad if I could help some newbies!

Thanks so much, Ann. I didn't realize the "ingredients" would show up so large. lol

Never underestimate what you can do by combining several different pics to make one cohesive project. Removed a few backgrounds, recolored the abstract background, and the font is Airport. It actually took me a lot longer than I thought it would, mostly due to the different proportions of the originals and my OCD need for perfection. ?

I thought I would have a little fun with this theme. It started out as a black on white illustration by Henn Kim. The font is Sleepy Fat Cat. (It's a duo with one being dingbats of cats and I think I got it from DaFont.)

Q = Quietly trying to survive your hangover on New Year's Day

Cass gave us a bargello sample pattern that perfectly matched the girls I used for this! Thanks, Carole. (The font is Argaka Fashion from Fontspace.)

Thanks, Susan. WWSTD is a great thing to remember! I didn't realize I actually had a style yet. ?
