Thanks, DeLoris. We'll be expecting to see some pages from you after you see her!

This one was a free kit from Digital Scrapbooking Studio from their The Rainbow Tree advent calendar collection. I just fell in love with the gnomes. I did a lot of cloning to change the word art element from Believe to Merry Christmas.

 

I hope everyone enjoyed the December holidays.

I was going to post this in December, but the site was down for maintenance. I used a couple of free kits from Kelsey Inspired Studios from her Advent Calendar collection.

Love it, DeLoris. I'm glad you'll get to see your friend.

Thanks much, ladies. <3

Just wanted to share how great Cass's wool picture tube worked with the vector tube script. I converted the text and the rectangle shape to paths and ran the script on each of them. Then I turned off the visibility on the vector layers. It was exactly what I needed to dress up the pic for the gaming group's daily theme. I don't know where the game developers come up with their ideas. LOL

A birthday card for one of my group members. The adorable clip art was free from The Hungry JPEG. The brush font is Joyful from Design Cuts. And I used the wovenreeds texture from PSP for the background. I had a lot of fun making it, but I'm never sure of my drop shadows.

You've been posting some great work, Annie. I agree that sometimes you have to go back to the beginning. There is so much to learn and if I don't use the techniques often, I forget.

 

Love the "freckles are like seasoning for the face" quote. Oh, and I use Unsplash a lot, too. Such a great source for free stock photos.

Thanks so much, Cristina. I, too, am a font-a-holic. I got a font manager, but I haven't had time to organize my fonts. :)

I went full-on scrapbook for this birthday card. I used a kit from Digital Scrapbook Studio and a font from Creative Market called Holland. I'm sure any campus members recognize the ornamental corner punch from the Creation Cassel store. I'm working on getting all of the sets; they dress up just about anything you can work on.

Welcome back, Annie. I understand the sentiment only too well as I live with chronic depression. Stephen Fry put it brilliantly and your page is perfect. Hugs for you. <3

P.S. If you put your watermark on it, I would love to post it on FB if you don't mind. If not, I understand.

I didn't have a chance to participate, but I saved them all so maybe in the future I will.

 

Everyone's calendars are so wonderful yet unique even though you're using the same templates. Great work!

Another theme from my gaming group. The main pic is an old vintage one I found on Google. I used a free mask from Mizteeques and a paper from MarisaL for the texture on the border. The font is Alistair Signature that I purchased from FontBundles during one of their $1 deal sales.

Holiday Jazz theme for my gaming group. I used a lovely background from PixelScrapper by MarisaL. I don't remember where I got the snowflake ornaments from; didn't keep very good records when I first started. Found the cute little musicians on Google a long time ago. The font is North City and it was free on Creative Tacos.

I love seeing everyone's travels. I just wish I had access to my old photos, but they're in storage. One of these days I'll get someone to take me there and find them. :)

Royanne, I'll bet your granddaughter loves this. She will absolutely cherish it as an adult.

 

DeLoris, your slideshows are a great way to showcase your prolific scrapbooking projects!

 

~ Michele

That video is an amazing keepsake, DeLoris, and your poem for Danny is very sweet.

 

Lovely page, Anne. Considering it's 2018, I think 1937 can count as vintage :)

 

Marlene, your card is so special. I'm sure your sister loved it and I hope she recovers soon.

 

~ Michele

Beautiful job, Marlene. Unfortunately, I don't have many family pictures at all. My sister got them all when my mom was in the early stages of Alzheimer's. Neither brother nor I accepted anything from her after she got sick, but my sister is a unique one, to say the least.

 

~ Michele

Well done, DeLoris. I live alone, too, but it takes me a lot longer. My hat is off to you.

 

~ Michele

Royanne, you did a great job honoring your mom. It's beautiful.

 

DeLoris, you made me cry.

 

 

 

~ Michele

Wow, DeLoris, where do you find the time?

Nice work, DeLoris. I haven't tried the overflowing yet.

 

Thanks so much, Dawn and Cristina. Full disclosure, I didn't make the original paper with all the geometric shapes. I found it during my search to get ideas for the game design theme. Sometimes I look through my own images and google for an hour and suddenly something strikes me. If I have enough time left, I'll try to make my own version using it for inspiration. For this one, I didn't have the time.

Look how much fun I had using Cassel's Accordion script. I was going for a pamphlet kind of feel to it. I never would have been able to do it by myself. If I had had more time, I would have made a more interesting background for it with some drop shadowing. Unfortunately, I only have a couple of hours to come up with an idea and produce the daily theme pic for my gaming group.
