I hear you, Cristina. You pick a paper or two, a few embellishments, then the layout seems to take on a life of it's own. I usually end up with a lot of layers before I decide which elements I'm going to keep. Then I start deleting.

 

Today I wanted to make something for a friend of mine and I ended up using papers and elements from several different designers: Marisa Levin and Sheila Reid at Pixel Scrapper, and Marina at Magical Scaps Galore. I used Cassel's Lace 1 script to create the ribbons and the font is Phylactere.

 

Just realized I forgot the shadows on all but one element. I tried it out on that one and I was planning on finishing it after I had finalized the design. Oh, well, there's always tonight. :)

Wonderful page, Cristina. The embellishments really complement the photos. Looks like a fun time was had by all! And I'm glad you liked mine. :)

 

Thank you, Stampiljke. Orchids are such glorious flowers. I just wish they were from my garden.

Thanks shutterpixi and Dawn. The flowers dictated the colors. The orchids were so spectacular that I thought they could hold their own if I used the same colors on the cards.  I'm glad you agree.

Today I found what I thought was a great use for Carole's Custom Game Card Script. There's a good amount of flexibility with the script. I had a lot of fun using it.

So glad you liked my literary pic, ladies. It's always a joy to hear your kind words. (I take constructive criticism, too.)

 

Dawn, you can still get the old book alphas here on the blog. They were from the February theme post.

Did anyone else get Cass's Old Book Alpha from her newsletter last month? I've been wanting to use it for something and the perfect daily theme popped up in my game last night.

Great images in your first card. I think your relative will love it. I love how you carried the butterfly theme throughout the second card. The leaf brush is awesome. It all really looks 3-D.

Wonderful work, ladies!

A big thank you to everyone for your lovely comments on my pics. This is a wonderfully supportive and safe place to share.

 

Cristina, I have the Lifted Photo script, too. It's amazing what we can do with the use of scripts. It would take me forever just to figure out how to do it. How long it takes me to do my daily pic depends on the theme they choose and my inspiration or lack thereof. Sometimes I'm scrambling until the deadline and other times it all comes together relatively quickly. Unfortunately, it's usually the former LOL

I bought Cassell's Curved Photo script during the Corel sale. I found two pics that I thought were cute and fit my gaming group's daily theme, so I decided to try it out. I LOVE this script! Great work, Carole.

Thank, Cristina. You're a sweetie.

 

~ Michele

Thank you so much everybody. I was actually pretty proud of this one. I've used straight film strips before, but the curved ones always gave me trouble. I finally figured it out!

 

Dawn, your card is lovely. What a great idea to use the overlay on the circles. And your knowledge of all the plugins is great. I need your memory. LOL

My compliments to shutterpixi for X-Acto knife!

 

 

The theme for my gaming group today was French Film Festival.  The blank film strip was free from kisspng. The original one had white in the frames so I used the magic wand to select and delete them. Using various pick tool modes and the mesh warp tool, I manipulated the individual movie posters into each of the frames, under the film strip. I erased any overlap. Hope you like it.

That's awesome, Annie. I missed the class, but I will either watch the in the next day or two, or I will catch it when the edited version is posted in the campus.

 

~ Michele

As always, I love your project, Dawn. I'm trying to pick out one element that I like best, but I love it all!

 

I must have missed that challenge. I hope Cassell offers it again as I'm always looking for inspiration to make cards.

 

~ Michele

It's really beautiful, Annie. You picked the perfect elements to showcase his work.

 

~ Michele

Love them, Annie. What a great way to make a memory for the little guy before he even arrives!

I didn't post anything this year, but you can feel free to use any of my projects from last year.

Y = Yertle the Turtle by none other than Dr. Seuss!

I love it, Annie!

T = To Kill a Mockingbird ... could be my very favorite book and movie.

Thanks so much, Annie. <3
