Annie Tobin

Thanks Val and you are most welcome Hon. ;)

Very nicely done Lynda and I really love the rough concrete frames. The flowers are beautiful and I was drawn immediately to the pumpkin flower. I am trying to get my pumpkins to survive ... treating for powdery mildew on a weekly basis. Lack of insect activity is also a factor ... I wonder if climate change has got something to do with that. Anyways my friend your pumpkins seem to be doing wonderfully. ;D

Lovely work Anne, you have blended it all together for a really smooth finish. Beautiful pics Hon. ;)

Lovely to have you back with us Corrie ... looking forward to more of your delightful creations. ;D

Val, you have produced 2 delightful pages here. Gypsy is a lovely looking dog and obviously very precious to you. The layered patchwork is beautiful and Gypsy sure holds her own amongst the layers. Well done Hon. ;)

Thanks Val, always appreciated my friend. ;)

Ann I really love this. Deb's linocut art is truly lovely. Cleverly displayed my friend. ;)

Lynda, thanks very much for the link. A very interesting page and there are quite a few of them that I think would make great background papers via 'accidental' play. I don't think it would be stealing or infringing on copyright as they would only be a background slate from which to work some magic. Thanks for sharing my friend. ;D

Michele, doesn't matter how you got there this is a fantastic background. Keep on playing around my friend, you are an inspiration. ;)

Very good samples Anne. Pic to Painting is a good plugin. Enjoyed viewing my friend. ;)

You have done it proud Minka, almost looks like an official ad for the Mustang, love it my friend. ;)

Lynda, still lovin your mandalas, very cool my friend. ;)

Cool pages Bonnie, although you look like you are sweating up a storm. Crocuses are so pretty and don't last anywhere near long enough to continue to enjoy their beauty. Your Poppy, Penny page is terrific fun and cool background page my friend. ;D

Anne, Hawaii Dreaming is just that ... dreamy, well done my friend. ;)

Thanks for your comments Michele, Ann and Cristina, much appreciated my friends.

Lynda I love your mandalas, you are going to have lots of lovely elements to use in future projects. Like yourself I have had Filter Forge for a long time but I got lost at first pass. Now I am itching to explore it much further, the webinar was a terrific start. I must say again that your map was excellent, exquisite really, I will have to give it a go but for now the webinar is closed so I shall just have to wait.

Ann, don't be intimidated by the program. I only have the basic as well ... missed out on the deal because I had upgraded once I knew what the webinar was going to be about ... that's what I get for being a smarty pants! I just did a Google search for Filter Forge tutorials and 3 video tutorials popped up. Two are by Cassel and one is from Filter Forge. Maybe that would be of help to you.

Cassel, hats off to you. You always keep us interested by surprising us with different techniques etcetera to keep us on our toes. Just when I start to get a bit restless and lacking in inspiration you come to the fore. The Campus has been a wonderful learning curve for me, thank you.

I am loving Filter Forge and made a full alpha today ... direct copy of Cassel and Lynda.  I get sooo distracted when I am working with the filter that it takes me an age to create anything.  Just so much to learn and so many pretties to play with!  Thanks for taking a peek my friends.  ;D

Yup, love that aged map Lynda, it is amazing. You get a gold star for doing your homework! Well done on both tasks my friend. ;)

Love them both Lynda and the little boy Carlos is a real cutie. I like the borders, very effective. :D

Adorable Karon, love it my friend. :D

Julia, this is soooooo cute, I love it. Well done Hon. ;D

Ann, you really captured my attention with this one. The photos are beautiful and amazing and your idea for the title is very clever ... both in context and design. Super page my friend and I enjoyed viewing. ;)

Anne, clever idea and beautifully executed my friend. I hope to see it in one of your Christmas designs this year ... with the hanger attached, of course. ;D

Ah BonBon ... just cannot get away from that pickleball can ya? You know there is a thing called addiction right but I don't remember seeing or hearing anything about pickleballers anonymous ... if I find a link I'll let ya know ... ROTFL! Love your work my friend, you keep it simple and you make it fun. You Go Girl! <3

Laurie, you tweaked just right ... amazing how a couple of little colour changes can blend a page together beautifully. :D

Shirley - I love your Day 8 and Day 10 of Johann. Your use of filter forge intrigues me and for your day 8 I think the little tartan buttons really set it off. The funky frame you used on Day 10 us fun and adorable, well done my friend. <3

Ann - your flower mandala is so very pretty. It has a real Victorian era look to it. You really are coming ahead in leaps and bounds, well done Hon. <3

Lynda - your play with Lab 11 mod 3 has produced some amazing results. My favourite is the star flower, truly delightful. Well done my friend. <3

Michele - your fabulous diva creations are very lovely and cute too. That is one of the best bokeh background papers I have seen. Seeing as you inherited the FB Fabulous Divas page do you have to come up with the daily theme? That would take some doing my friend. I love your work. <3

Minka - a simple and effective page my friend and the bubble worked to perfection. A bubble of relaxation and restfulness would be sublime. May I borrow yours once in a while? <3

Karon - a beautiful photo and you have done your granddaughter proud. Is this in advance of St Paddy's day or do you have a strong Irish background? I think we Tobins could rival Ireland for Irish genes, lol! Love your work my friend. <3

Laurie - a perfect photo to showcase a seaside theme. Sandy toes are a seaside delight. For a Rookie you are doing very well ... I think I shall have to pick up my game! <3
