I love this time of the year when everything is so colorful after a long winter—although not as long as before! It comes with my pollen allergy, but it doesn't take the beauty of it. Magnolias are also blooming here, and I don't get tired of admiring this tree.

Congratulations, Sue, on the birth of your new granddaughter, Gwen! I wish the family a lifetime of happiness! 💟

Some expressions come to my mind: Playing with fire OR Walking on thin ice. 😄

I had Win10 installed till recently and had no problems. Only upgraded to Win11 after the technician checked the laptop and said it was possible, although, with every update, there was a message saying it was not. It's so frustrating when things start not to work as they should. 😞

Mary, it's good that you found the reason, but like Corrie, I would never have connected this problem to the mouse. Those problems are the hardest to solve because we often think of them first as a program problem rather than a hardware issue.

What an interesting story, Julie! They do a vital job to save lives. Looking at every page you post is a joy. You definitely found your style!

It was not what I had in mind in the beginning, but due to the circumstances, we ended up getting the Universal License with all 3 apps.

Wow, Anja, all layouts posted are beautiful! You were really inspired!

I am also learning both programs. After the Magazine Workshop, I have been watching more PSE videos to catch up on the time I spent only using Affinity. At the same time, I am working with PSP for the Build-A-Kit workshop, which is my relaxing time, because I don't have to find out where things are, how they work, etc. I love all programs! Each one has something that, imho, works better than the others. Once you start working with Affinity, you'll probably see that it's also a great program.

I think it's a great idea to use stock photos. This way, the lack of our own photos doesn't limit our ability to express our creativity. And you did just that marvelously, Julie!

Thank you, Susan, for the tip! I'll take a look at that for sure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After my laptop went under makeover and upgraded to Win11, I had no access to my Affinity apps, and it would no longer accept the special 90-day password given to us. My husband and I were already considering purchasing the program, but this forced us to decide earlier. So, he got the Affinity Suite, as he also uses these programs for his work.

But I do think that the photo, disposition, etc. is something I could see in a food magazine. 🙂

The channels we have here differ from those over there, but the news travels fast. 😞

I'm looking forward to seeing it, Susan!

I also think it's great! The title, the egg shells, the pan in the middle... It looks very professional to me

Good to have my laptop back so I can see the posts and comment again. Sue, it’s a wonder what nature can create. We just have to slow down and look; it’s all there. This photo will create a beautiful texture, and I’m sure we are going to see it in use in future.

I love the colors and the result of this layout, Corrie. This looks like a cover page and the script made it unique.

I also love your magazine and the photos, Susan!

Julie, I'm also carefully choosing what I see on TV nowadays. To watch the news is sometimes nerve-wracking.

Lovely layouts, Julie! Again, you are mastering this artsy way of scrapbooking.

Anne, another great calendar page. This beautiful mask makes it unique.

I got to know Enya years ago, when the song "Only Time" was playing a lot on the radio. I like her very much.

I have finished Day 7, and it's a double page again. Maybe there will be a Day 8, to use the last photos I have from this 2023 Malmö tour.

This is so true. Beautiful work you do, Sandy!

Oh, Corrie, this is great! Mine still behaves the same way, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong now that everyone can use this technique in Affinity 2.6. I'll have to investigate. To name the group is not important to me; it was just something I noticed.
