Love it, Annie. You go, girl!

Love your layout, Bonnie. Those pictures are lovely and you let them speak for the page.

 

Trish, your Paris grunge page came out great. Still busy making papers, I see.

 

Thank you for your generosity, Annie, but what I downloaded was too "fuzzy." The details got lost in the translation. You might just inspire me try try making my own once I'm out of my funk!

 

Dawn, it's wonderful to see you here. I agree with Annie; you are a treasure.

Beautifully done, Annie. Is there any chance I could steal it? (No pressure.) It would make a great brush.

I always have my calculator app open. Unfortunately, I think I've forgotten more math than I remember. lol

Love it, Sharon!

U = Unicorn Fish

Great work, Trish. Thanks so much for your generosity.

That's adorable, Royanne. Great job.

I love how everyone is inspired so differently by the same picture. Great creativity, ladies.

 

~ Michele

Those papers are fantastic, Trish. I can tell you're having a lot of fun.

Lovely work, Mireille.

 

Cristina, I love your layout. Olivia is a lucky girl.

 

~ Michele

It's wonderful to have you back, Annie. I don't know what I would do without my laptop. You obviously haven't lost your touch. Both of your layouts are wonderful.

Wonderful projects, scrappers!

 

~ Michele

You're making me dizzy with all of your work, Trish. You should get the Most Prolific of the Month prize. :) Great stuff

 

~ Michele

Thanks so much, Cristina. :)

 

Trish, you made a beautiful card.

 

Sue, Loved your blue jay on FB and love it again here.

Sue, those florals are gorgeous! If the Maskmaker script isn't already on my Wish List, it's going on there now.

 

Thank you, Dawn. It's nice to be able to share with all of you lovely scrappers.

 

~ Michele

Thanks much, Annie.

I = Iguana (You can find marine iguanas only on the Galapagos Islands. They are the only swimming lizards.)

Ooh, those are really pretty, Trish.

 

RuPaul has been a famous drag queen here in the U.S. for decades. "RuPaul Andre Charles is an American drag queen, actor, model, singer, songwriter, and television personality. Since 2009, he has produced and hosted the reality competition series RuPaul's Drag Race, for which he has received three Primetime Emmy Awards, in 2016, 2017, and 2018."

We must have been writing at the same time, Trish, because I didn't see your birthday card until now. Your parties are always such fun!

 

I made this today for my gaming group. Inspiration was from the August Pop Art Tut/Tech challenge. RuPaul is a Fabulous Diva; he should join my group. LOL

 

~ Michele

Did this one for my gaming group today. I thought it worked well with the name of my group. I hope RuPaul doesn't mind. :)

Trish, I love the ballerina pic, too, and you really made it look outstanding. Well done. You certainly used a lot of masks in your second pic to great effect. How many? Love the colors you used.

D = Dolphin

Carole, thanks for taking a look at my tutorial. I thought the pic was a bit small, but I didn't know if I could load the separate pics. I edited my original post to delete the small pic and add the pics for the individual steps. I hope they're more visible.

 

Trish, your second one looks perfectly aligned; it's awesome. I think the white borders look good, too. It's just a different style.

 

~ Michele

Annie, I love that kitty! Nice work on both your images.

 

Trish, you did a great job. The colors are awesome and I like that you framed each one. You cracked me up with your reference to Earth Girls Are Easy.

 

In terms of the alignment issues you had, Trish, since Carole's tutorial was for four images, you would have to add more guides to accommodate all six of yours. It's important that you use the same original to produce of your color pics so they are all the same size. I don't always have luck resizing them once they're on the same image.

 

This is an alternate way to do it. Once you determine the size of your original, use Shift D to duplicate it as a new image. Then do your magic. Go back to the original and repeat Shift D and then magic. Repeat until you have all your images. Once you have all of your images done, create a new image the width and length that will work for your project. In your case, you would want to double the width and triple the length of the original pic. What I would do now is copy and past all of your images onto the new blank image. Move them to roughly the position you want. Now comes the aligning. 1) Using the Pick Tool, select the top left image and change both position X and Y to zero. That lines it up exactly to the top and left edges. 2) Now, using the Pick Tool, select the other images on the left. With all three selected choose Objects: Distribute: Space Evenly Vert. 3) With those same images selected choose Objects: Align: Left. 4) Now select the top left image and the top right image and choose Objects: Distribute: Space Evenly Horiz. 5) Then choose Objects: Align: Top. 6) Now select the top right image, then the other images on the right. Choose Objects: Distribute: Space Evenly Vert. 7) Choose Objects: Align: Right. I put together some screen shots that I hope will illustrate what I did since it sounds pretty confusing when reading the steps. Once you've done it a few times, you'll be more comfortable with this method.

 

Carole, I think this is my first attempt at a tutorial so please look it over and see if I made any mistakes. Thanks so much.

EDIT: I deleted the small pic and added the pics for the individual steps. I hope they're more visible.

Everyone looks like they're having so much fun!
