Thanks so much, Cristina. The little girl is separate from the umbrellas.

 

I started with one umbrella. Duplicated it and mirrored it vertically. Duplicated twice more and free rotated each of those. Then I merged all four to a new layer and rotated that one 45 degrees. Merged all eight of the umbrellas. Duplicated that layer and rotated it 22.5 degrees. I enlarged the bottom layer a little bit (don't remember how much). Hence, a total of 16 umbrellas, eight on each layer.

 

Technically one umbrella and one girl. :)

That's a lovely picture, Lynda. BTW, there is a new What Are You Working On for May.

I love how her ear is sticking out. It's so sweet.

 

 

Wow, you've all been very busy beavers, haven't you? Here's a pic I made for my gaming group. The illustration is by a wonderful artist, Malika Favre. I'm posting it to show off what you can do with Carole's Edge Punches. I didn't have a lot of time to play with them, but they were easy enough to make a quick frame. (Click on the pic to enlarge it so you can see the details of the frame.}

I made this a while ago for a challenge in a PSP group. I love the rain.

Awesome, Lynda. There are 90 projects in BW and they get more complicated as you go. I actually just graduated from BW today! I learned a lot, but it's nowhere near as fun as the Campus. :D

I remember that tutorial from BW. It's very cool.

 

I love the one you did with the car, Lynda.

G = Good Will Hunting ~ In my opinion it's one of Robin Williams' best performances.

Love it, Cristina! Looks like it was a fun day.

B = Big ~ I still crack up when he eats the baby corn like a real ear of corn. Years ago I read that he improvised that.

R = Rashomon It's an old movie from the 50's by Kurosawa. I recently recorded it, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. It's considered one of the best movies ever made.

Witch hazel has some anti-inflammatory properties so it can't hurt. Annie, I'm not a doctor (I don't even play one on TV), but I would imagine wrapping the wrist too tightly might be a problem. Glad you can knit so you don't go totally stir crazy.

Julie, what a difference you made in that picture. Your town is going to love it and whatever follows.

 

Really nice work, Sawnie. Each page is unique as are the flowers.

Those are beautiful kits, Lyn. I think your mojo is social distancing with mine.

Thanks, Lynda. It's just a Facebook simulation game called City Girl Life that was first sponsored by Disney and has changed hands several times. It's similar to the Sims Social which shut down years ago. I actually started using PSP when I was asked to make some pictures for a Sims Social group. When that game closed, most of us moved over to City Girl Life. Long story short, I ended up as admin of a group of players. A feature of the game is the Daily Look contest, usually based on clothing collections they're "selling." They give us a theme and a background and we dress accordingly. Hence, the daily pics. We also have apartments that we can decorate. It gave me something to do when I was taking care of my mother. The reason I keep playing is because of the members of my group; they're wonderful and I've known them for years now. (So much for making a long story short LOL.)

 

Here's a screenshot of my current apartment and what I wore for the Live to Ride theme.

Haven't been doing much scrapping lately; just no inspiration during this global crisis. My saving grace is that I have to do a picture for my gaming group every day so I won't get too rusty. This was my daily theme pic from yesterday. Started with a B&W pic from VectorStock. Colorized it with Topaz B&W effects plugin. Then I applied a randomized kaleidoscope effect that I liked and used it as a background/frame. I buttonized the main pic on a separate layer and softened it a lot with the adjust option. I've found that using the Buttonize 3D effect on it's own layer gives me more flexibility. The font is called Ultra. Keep in mind that I don't pick the themes. LOL

 

Stay home and stay safe, everyone.

Annie, my dear Annie. Wishing you a quick recovery. It must be so frustrating for you. Missing your wonderful work here. I agree that it's great to come here and see what everyone's up to even when we are not creating ourselves. Lots of love and healing thoughts headed your way. Hugs.

O = On Golden Pond

Oh, be well, Annie. I'm enjoying looking at these lovely layouts, too.

K = Kiss of the Spider Woman

I made this for my gaming group today. The bunnies are from Creative Fabrica and the font is appropriately named Easter Egg.

For all my Christian scrapper friends. This is something I made a couple of years ago using a tutorial.

B = Blade Runner

Dorothy, I loved the Bobbsey Twin books when I was a kid...Nan and Bert & Freddie and Flossie.

X = X-Men and all the sequels. That was an easy one.
