Nice work, Leslie, especially for a beginner; the Taj Mahal is stunning.

 

Cristina, I love how you did the three different background layers. The text layer adds so much to the project.

 

Here's something I just did for my gaming group. Most of what I did was purely accidental as I was trying out different effects. I love when that happens! Other than watching Cassel's tutorials, that's how I end up learning a lot. I just dive in and play. :D

After I did three colors, I played around with some of the settings and tried four. So much fun! (It's a stock pic.)

Y = Yarn as in "spin a yarn."

Wishing your mom the best, Dawn. <3

L = Letter   Okay, okay, I took an easy one.

H = Hand Signals

I say we all get together and go to that restaurant, Cristina. You presented it in such a lovely way, how can we resist?

Thanks for all the kind words, ladies.

 

Here's last night's project. I had to share it just to show what a scrapbooker you're all turning me into! <3

 

Cass, I used your Word Frame script for this one; I was hoping it would look like tennis balls. I often use the script without actually putting any text in it. And AprilDawn, does the font look familiar? Thanks for turning me onto it ~ Prida02calt by gluk.

 

Marlene, your friend seems a wee bit close-minded. Ask her to try the digital method and see how dismissive she is then. :)

AprilDawn, I watch a lot of nature shows and I simply adore the kookaburra. Your project definitely does it justice and I've already downloaded the font!

 

Marlene, your project is such fun. I don't think I have any music brushes, but, if you didn't already guess it, I downloaded the font.

For this I used a really fun font that I recently purchased for $1. It's called Zooky Squash and picking out which alternate characters to use was a lot of fun. And the swashes along the sides also came with it.

I am always trying different fonts. I have almost 3,000 fonts and I've only paid for eight of them. There are so many resources for free fonts; I think I'm addicted. Here's a very pretty one that came with additional swashes. It's called William Kidmon and I think it's simply lovely.

 

The ribbon started out as a small sample I saw. I erased the background, duplicated it until I had enough so I could line them up for a full ribbon. Merged them to one layer and duplicated it all around to frame the pic. I played around with erasing parts of the different layers until I got the effect I liked.

Nice one, Dianne

V = Vinyl siding

Thanks so much, ladies. I am impressed with each and every one of your projects. <3

This is yesterday's project for my FB gaming group. I started with a blue wood-grain background. That beautiful little sailor is something I found on Google. The 3D Chisel Effect outlined her pic nicely and gave it some depth. Then I used the NavyBlues font (free on FontSpace). I duplicated and changed the font layer to raster and repeated the chisel effect. I added the life ring and gave it an Inner Bevel. The Rope picture tube came in handy to balance out the total look, but it comes out in a sort of gold color. In keeping with the blue and white theme I had going I used Colorize and changed the saturation to zero. In order to brighten the rope up, I used the Replace Color Tool with white as my foreground color. Lastly I Buttonized the background in order to frame the entire project.

 

I would have been unable to do something like this a year ago. I've learned so much about PSP from Cassel and the rest of the Campus members that my artistic side is really coming out now. Thanks to all of you. <3

Wow, Marlene. Your Mother of the Bride page is really beautiful. That background pic is gorgeous. If you have time, could you tell us how you created it?

 

 

I absolutely LOVE seeing what everyone did with this class.

 

I forgot that I also worked on a snow scene using both the Manual Color Adjustment and the Grey World White Balance. I would never have known to look for hidden commands! What a pleasure it is see WHITE snow. (It's not a pretty picture; I only took it to show how much snow we had gotten.)

I watched the Photo Cheats master class video last night. As usual I learned a lot. I used the tutorial to add bokeh effects to a pic I did for my gaming group today. (How about that for great timing?) I usually try to find an appropriate overlay, but it's so much better to create my own bokeh. I started with a lighted dance floor for a background. Here is a pic of the before and after; if you click on it to enlarge the pic, you'll see the effect more clearly. I know my pics are not usually "scrapbooky," but everything I learn here can be used for other projects, too.

O = Oak for my hardwood flooring

K = Knot (in wood)

H = Hacksaw (H was a tough one)

Absolutely love your work, Marlene.

G = Grout

X ~ x-rays  I believe the sun emits them.

So I couldn't resist...I bought all three corner punch brush sets and the lifted photo script. I started playing with them and what I did fit right into my group's daily theme for Sunday. Risking redundancy, I thank you all.
