  1. Here is my January 2022 Calendar page so far. I could not resist of turning the snow-man into a snow-cat. I found the Alpine Winter picture and the snowman on line a few years ago when I did a google search on winter images. I added the "I love Snow" to the snowman sign and used what I learned during scrapbook campus about drop shadows, duplicating vector layers and converting to raster layers, to be able to use 3D effects and inner bevel on text. YTou might have to click on the calendar to see the larger picture.
  2. When looking back at all the Bootcamp classes, I learned so many new ways of using the tools in PSP: Layer options,  applying different shadows, using guidelines, pinking shears effect, kerning, aligning text, wraparound text in a selection box, frames around photos, converting vector layers to rasters in order to use effects, etc.  Thank you Carole for all these very helpful lessons and tips. I loved everyone's posted projects with their kind and helpful comments.
  3. Here is my Day 11 - Project 5. I have enjoyed my second Bootcamp  and  learned something new every week that I had forgotten from last time. I feel a lot more confident now to try new challenges with PSP. For this project I used Papers and elements from Digital Scrapbook. (Digi-Dewi Papers from The Good Life August 2021 Bundle, the flower is from Jessica Dun , frame is from R.Martin Celine at Digital Scrapbook. I filled part of the white frame with a green gradient that was close in color to the green paper for the tiles. Thank you Carole and everyone here for your tips and encouragement . You are all so talented and I enjoy looking at your projects. The photo  shows our handsome Smokey. He has crossed the Rainbow Bridge some years ago, but will always have a special place in our hearts
  4. Here is my Day 9 - Project 4. For the base I made my own paper so it would blend in well with the green in my photographs.  The brown paper and striped paper is from Digital Scrabbook. (Marisa Lerin. and Sheila Reed). I used the colors from my photo to make the red small paper strip and then used the yellow from the Stripes paper for the yellow small paper strip. Elements and scatters  are from Digital Scrabbook, (Marisa Lerin and Janet Kemp). This project was a lot of fun and I loved the new effects for the text tool.  I also enjoyed learning how to do cut-outs by using the eraser tool. I never knew one could do the the pinking shears effect in PPS. Thank you Carol for these Bootcamps. Even though this is my second time, I always learn something new and also get a chance to practice what I learned.

  5. Here is my project  for Day 7 - Project -3; I used papers and elements from  from Pixel Scrapper (Digital Scrapbooking). The Base paper and plaid paper is from True Friends Bundle by Jessica Dunn, the brown paper is from Sharon Dewi, Heart and Flower elements are from Jessica Dunn, and Swirl is from Brooke Gazarek. The cat outline is from Sheila Reid and I filled it  with light Glitter tile and the nose and Bow with dark glitter tile. The photos are mine and picture "Bella" and her buddy "YaPurr". I had fun and learned a lot about using different shadows, the guides and glitter tile.

  6. Ann, I spent a lot of time in beautiful historic New Paltz.  I remember when Robert DeNiro bought a house there and was often seen downtown. I also loved the walks up to Mohonk Mountain House, especially around Autumn when all the "Leaf-Peepers" came to town.  Kingston, Rhinecliff and Woodstock with all the many artists, were also one of my favorites, along with Hyde Park in Poughkeepsie, etc. I think I am getting a little homesick for these places and will take a look at my old photos. I have a lot of them on the small diskettes and the new PC's do not have a slot for them anymore. I will have to check if I can get a diskette player so I can move then onto a flash drive and then I can use for scrapbooking. If not I can always try and scan the photos.
  7. Thank you Ann. What a small world it is. We lived in the town of  Wallkill (Ulster County) until 2005. I fondly remember making many trips to Middletown which was  just a few miles away.  I loved the Mall at Crystal Run. Is it still as busy as I remember? I enjoy looking at your projects here, you are very creative.
  8. Here is Day 5, Project 2. I wanted to do something a little bit different than in my recent first  Bootcamp in February.The Photo is my own from the time we lived in upstate New York, about 60 miles from the Big Apple where we spent a lot of time. I do miss  it, especially around Christmas, but I do not miss the snow and cold. Both papers are from Digital Scrapbooking, (J. Morgenstern and Janet Scott). I decreased the opacity on the New York City Paper and added the off- white paper from J Scott as background. Elements are from D.S. and Pikpng. For the rectangle colors I picked the red colors on the photo.
  9. Here is my project 1. I used papers and elements from Pixel Scrapper and the photograph is my own. I placed a rectangular border around the photograph with the selection tool just like Carole showed us in a recent webinar and then I filled it with one of the colors from the plaid paper. What takes the longest time is to look for papers and elements etc. that will go with your photograph. I did enjoy looking at all the wonderful kits that are available and I am looking foward to play with those. Thank you Carole, I realized how much I have learned so far and I do enjoy my PSP program so much more.
  10. Here is my same Sandwich with added bread, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion. I changed the tablecloth (Pixel Scrapper-Janet Kemp) and added a sprig of parsley to top of bread. I also added a light drop shadow to the parsley.
  11. Hello Everyone. This is my second time in the Bootcamp. I enjoyed it so much and I wanted to practice again with all the PSP tools I learned to use the first time around.
