Thank you, Jeni! I also like her smile in the photos. In the first layout, she was not happy because her cousin had not arrived yet. 😄 She was two, and her cousin was three at the time. I have more pictures of her smiling afterwards, but I thought that photo told a story of a brief moment of her frustration. I like Lynn Grieveson's style and have a few of her freebies, kits/collections. Wednesday is when The LilyPad site offers 50% off in some selected kits, and I take advantage of it if there's something I like very much.

Day 2 - Affinity Again, I used papers and elements from the kit "Tastes Like Summer" by Lynn Grieveson. I added a date stamp that was created in PSP using Cassel's DateStamp#8 script. Fonts. Caneletter Script and Canastra.

This is so touching, Julie. And so, so true. Your page expressed it in a very sensitive way. I hope your words and art help to ease his pain.

Happy Birthday, Carole! 🙂 Sending you the best birthday wishes on this special day! Long life to you and the Campus & Creation Cassel!

Day 1 – Affinity I used papers and one element from the kit “Tastes_like_Summer” by Lynn Grieveson. I tweaked the color of the Edge Border using HSL Layer Adjustment (Hue-Saturation-Luminosity). I created the page, and only almost at the end did I notice a mistake I had made from the start. So, I decided to start from scratch since the layout was not complicated. At a certain point, I wondered if copying the layers from one document to another would be possible, as it does in PSP. I tried it, and it was even better! I copied the elements and the texts, and they were placed in the same spots I had in the first layout, rather than in the center of the page as they do in PSP. Font: Caneletter Script & Clumsy Blink

Julie, this is a lovely layout! The small details complement the stars of the page, which for me are always the photos.

Corrie, Before I forget, I wish you a safe trip to and from your destination and a wonderful time with your family!

I didn’t know of Hardanger embroidery and don’t recall having seen it. Perhaps I didn’t recognize the style or name if I did see it. But, after your comment, I had to look it up. So, from English Wikipedia. Hardanger embroidery or "Hardangersøm" is a form of embroidery traditionally worked with white thread on white even-weave linen or cloth, using counted thread and drawn thread work techniques. It is sometimes called whitework embroidery. Hardanger embroidery gets its name from the district of Hardanger in western Norway, where it was known simply as hvitsøm (whitework). German Wikipedia Sie hat ihren Namen aus der norwegischen Hardangerregion, wo sie hauptsächlich für Trachtenblusen und Schürzen angewandt wurde. Die Technik ist orientalischen Ursprungs. Google Translation: It takes its name from the Norwegian Hardanger region, where it was primarily used for traditional blouses and aprons. The technique has oriental origins. Now, if I see it, I'll recognize it! 🙂

My mother-in-law says that if people want to talk, they will talk no matter what. True. 😄

What a beautiful work, Corrie! They sure don't deserve to be hidden in a drawer.

I love your work, Susan, and the stories that come with it. They are so interesting! I am sure you are a great storyteller. 🙂

This looks so nice, Sharla. It's a good idea to go through the Bootcamp lessons again, and I should do this too, but I have too many things on my plate already. I'll wait for the next one. 🙂

I watched a 6-minute video from Affinity Designer, and I should have viewed this one before creating the Mandala, as it explains more about the Pen and Node Tools. So, after this, I could tweak the Mandala as shown in the video.

Wow, that was a fantastic deal, Carole! I have to say, I would have second thoughts about giving my credit card number over the phone, but luckily it was legitimate, and you were the one who made the call anyway. Happy prints! 😊

I'm in, too! I'll work with Affinity to keep learning the program.
