It's always the older siblings that torture the younger ones. Being the youngest in my family, I can attest to that!

S = Sarcophagus although I don't think it's used much in modern times.😄

H = Headstone

I'm working on getting a new laptop so I can get PSP up and running again.

Of the two, which are both beautiful, I love the November page.

It's a good thing we can laugh about things years later when we didn't necessarily think they were funny at the time. Thank you for all the laughs, ladies.

I've been using png files as my main pic, then adding a paper underneath to change the mask. Now if I could just get PSP to work again, I could catch up.

I was having trouble with PSP 2022 so I uninstalled. Even thought I have 64 GB free on the drive I was installing it to, I got an error message that there wasn't enough space. Grrr. I opened a support ticket. Hopefully I'll hear back soon.

I think this one looks wonderful with the stem showing. As much as we want to have a common thread throughout the year, I don't think you have to keep each month identical.

I haven't been posting my progress because I know we have to go back to prior days as we learn more. I'll post them when we're all done. I love what you've all been doing. This is a great group.

Soooo happy for Jackie; a bit jealous, too. ❤️

It's all electronic now. Before then, we had curtained voting booths where we had to turn levers and once we opened the curtain back up, that was it. Voting always makes me feel good. I mailed in my ballot today! I'm getting a little too old and broken down to wait in lines outside in the cold.

I made this for someone in the PSP Maniacs group. She realized she had pictures of both her late father and mother on the porch of their cabin. She supplied all three pictures and the quote. I colorized a paper from DiHillerDesigns and lowered the opacity over a paper from AnnieC. The mask is from Lady22 template 245 and the birds are from ALFL Blog Train Jan 2021. I made the tag using one of Cassel's edge punches; it took a long time and I patted myself on the back when I was done 😂. The text font is Melinda Script and I made the hearts using a dingbat font called Heart.

Maybe I'll get through the entire workshop this year!

These are really beautiful. I noticed the text on the right has Brittany's name spelled wrong. I only noticed it because I was trying to see the problematic glyphs you mentioned.

I made this following a tutorial in the Beginners Workshop which is now defunct. If @Cassel think it's okay for me to share it, I will.

Thanks, @Christina. The font is Castle Combe.

Try making a picture tube out of it. Maybe it will be easier to remember.

It can be something as simple as your signature in a picture tube. I use mine when I post something on a public site (when I remember). I rarely do it here because I can't imagine any of our members would take someone else's work and pass it on as their own.

This is simply fabulous! I love everything about it. I'm impressed with how you were able to add shadows to the transparent balloons. I end up adding a shadow and erasing the part that's under the transparent part. How did you do it?

I stopped spending money a long time ago; there are too many freebies available, especially in the blog trains. I've stopped myself from downloading anything new (well, I've slowed down anyway). I have literally thousands of zip files I have yet to open and organize. To organize my supplies I have different folders in a main folder I call Creations. It includes folders for Backgrounds, Textures and Overlays, Clip Art, Templates, etc. I make sure the names of the files include the source and include a preview pic (if there is one) in the folders. If I find something I want to use, I can do a search in Creations for all the items included in that kit. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else but it works for me.

Thanks so much, @Julie Magerka. It is certainly a MEGA bundle.

Children do what they see. If their parents use their devices, their kids will want to also.
