Very pretty card Michele, well put together my friend. <3

Beautiful work Sheila, well done! <3

Thanks for your lovely comment Cristina, much appreciated. Here is a copy of what I spelt out for Michele regards the title, hope you can make sense of it! (As for the alpha, well … I found on the web a sample of an alpha that I liked. Copied it into psp, then copied the letters I wanted with the pen tool using a solid line setting size 1, putting each letter on a separate layer. The initial outline was plain the scratchy bits came later. After the initial outline I clicked inside the letter with the magic wand and then expanded by 5 or 10 (whatever suits you) and then, adding a new raster layer, flood filled with a floral pattern set to a percentage to suit the size of the letter (alpha). I then went back to the original solid thin outline and added the scratchy uneven bits again using the pen tool, solid line, size 1. I then merged the outline layer with the pattern layer, making sure the outline was on top. After that I simply placed each one in the correct order to form the title. I like using the pen tool in the mode Draw Point to Point – Bezier Curves just in case I need to add a curve or two. It was a bit fiddly but very rewarding. I hope this helps Michele, I’m no Cassel when it comes to tuts, LOL! Maybe Cassel can make sense of what I have been gabbling on about and create a tut for us!!! <3)

Love it to bits Dawn, simple and very effective, my kinda project, :)

Thanks so much Dawn … yes, I do treasure those memories. :)

Another for the June word challenge.  Thanks for takin a peek.

Awww, thanks Cristina, very much appreciated my friend. You are too kind! <3

Hello Scrapbook Campus Friends.  I was perusing Cassel's earlier tutorials and liked the look of the Basic Scrap Course Module 2 layout so decided to give it a go.  I am totally enamoured of the Open as One Layer script … bonus, and I am becoming addicted to creating alpha.  Also can use this one for the June word challenge.  Thanks for takin a peek.

 

 

Very much agree Patricia … helps to keep me sane, lol!

Thanks Dawn, again very much appreciated. :)

Thank you Dawn, very much appreciated. :)

I've enjoyed viewing all your work Patricia. Simple, uncluttered … they make a statement, a pleasure to view. :)

Thanks again Michele, you rock my friend! :)))

 

Just did this one for the Basic Scrap Course - Module One … another case of killing two birds with one stone, :)  Thanks for takin a peek.

Thanks Cassel, much appreciated. I'm having fun with it all … so much to learn! :)

I had to have a go at this.  Such simplicity and very effective.  Wanted a grungy/messy alpha and couldn't find one so decided to create my own … turned out ok!  I'm finding more and more that creating your own elements etc., with psp is very self satisfying.  Thanks for takin a peek!

Lovely use of texture Michele, job well done my friend. :)

Hello Members.  Killing two birds with one stone here.  Just finished Lab 8 - Module 2 so decided to utilise it for the June Word Challenge.  Thanks for takin a peek.  Hugs......Annie T

Hello Scrapbook Campus Members.  My combination result for Lab 8 - Module 2.  Thanks for takin a peek.  :)

Thanks Cristina. I don't usually work with blue but it just seemed to fit with this one … I was determined to use the picture once I stumbled across it, lol!

Cristina this is truly delightful.  Simple beauty at it's best … I love simplicity, says so much more than clutter.  A joy to view.  Hugs......Annie T

Completed this today as a combined result for Lab 6 - Module 5.  Went a slightly different track than the comic book direction.  Lil' Morticia seems so cute and definitely taking her role seriously, :)  Hugs......Annie T

 

 

Love your work Marlene and Cassel.  Finished this today for Lab 6 - Module 5.  Went a slightly different track than the comic book direction.  I thought this little tot was sooo cute and definitely taking her Morticia role seriously.  Thanks for takin a peek.

 

 

Thanks dear Cristina. Now that I have shown my true colours let me say in my defence that I had the best of intentions but I haven't got there myself yet, LOL! Very pleased that you liked the silhouette scrap. Amazing how the background can help to tone things down. :) Annie.
