Hi Libera, The one you saw before was a Customized Text Overlay and was based on the Lab 5- Module 9 (Text Background Paper). For this one, I used the pattern that comes with PSP. There are 5 Text patterns in English and 5 "Texte" patterns in French (right your alley ?). In this case, I used the Text 1 pattern. About the technique, Sue Thomas explained it in a much better way than I would have thought. The details are important, and I never think of mentioning them...Thank you, Sue! Your work is, as always, beautiful!

I already learned something new today... Never noticed that the icons have the corresponding shapes and that they changed once Converted to Path... I Only paid attention when it was Text. Cool! So, here are the heart and arrow.

After a few tests, I am glad to report that everything is working fine for me... Carole, what a relief for you... You sure didn't need that.

Corrie, what a beautiful layout and this font is perfect for it... I downloaded it, although I have plenty of fonts. ? Quoting Michele, I am, too, a fontholic. ? I am not getting tired of your stories as I travel and learn through your layouts. Ann, I like this layout very much... I like this combination of a black and white background with the color photo... or vice versa.

As we were traveling only today, I logged in this week. 1. Immediately after entering the email/password, it still showed LOGIN – REGISTER, not recognizing it. 2. Reading the Blog post, it showed: log in to REPLY... So, not considering that I had previously logged in. 3. Only after clicking the FORUM TAB is that my name appears. 4. But, like others, I can't access Diamond classes, the Lab, and other tutorials.

Julie, those nodes can be really tricky to get.? Sometimes, I get them on the first try, but other times I keep clicking back and forth until they react as they should. Never saw Carole having an issue with them; I have to practice a lot to get to this level. ?

I am sure you are going to finish before me, Susan! ?

Mary, this is a lovely layout! Sammy looks happy with the cake; who wouldn't be? ? It's amazing all the great techniques and scripts from Carole are included. It made me think of how much I have learned since I joined the Campus... and still counting!

I just registered. This will be fun!

Love it all, Michele! So bright, colorful, fun...

Thank you so much, Suzy! I created the background paper inspired by one I saw on Etsy. I erased the sky of the Colosseum photo before adding the effects and blending. This is the paper I was inspired by.

Ann, this is a touching tribute to honor his memory... He left way too early.

Here is one layout I finally managed to finish. Again, I used a Scrapping with Liz template (SwL_AroundtheWorldTemplate3). Also, from her, the SwL_LettheAdventureBegin cutout. The background is a blend of a photo of the internet (Effects>Art Media Effects>Colored Pencil) on top of a vintage paper. Border stitch is an old freebie from Kristin Aagard (KAagard_July17CCM_BorderStitches_5) From Cassel: Photo mat (Lab13-06 - punched paper) -- Custom Coin Script -- Date Stamp8 Script - Text Overlay (Lab5-09) Font: Futura XBLKIT BT EXTRA BLACK ITALIC. EDIT: Also included the polka dot pattern.

It looks like this has become a trend everywhere. I think it's a good idea. Here, I saw an old telephone booth turned into this little library. This is sponsored by the city. I also saw a "little library" in front of a private house a few years ago. I have the photo of the telephone booth, and will try to take one from the other.

Hi, Everybody! Great ideas, tips, and layouts. It's hard to keep track of everything. This thread is never short of inspiration! I am still tweaking the layouts I posted some time ago.

Michele, this is a beautiful template, and so is your layout. Both look great.

For me, both classes would be great. Even if it is a paid program that I don't have or cannot afford to get it now, it could be in the future. Perhaps, It will show something I don't know and never thought about doing. IMHO, it is not in our best interest to have your creativity limited.

Susan, thanks for the link and all the info!

Which Designer's section? I guess I'm not familiar with it.

I do watch all of them too. Poor Jack... He has no say in his own precinct, as she is the one asking the questions. LOL... We watched Behind the Scenes Season 3, and they talked about her clothes... Another old show from Australia we liked is The Doctor Blake Mysteries... But they are not always available. I think you can download them from YouTube... not sure.

Susan, I really like what you created. I think the result is great! By the way, any chance this was a Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries you were watching?

Suzy, I love your kit. Great work!

It already looked great, but with the new additions such as the framed photo, etc., it looks amazing to create all of this on such a small scale.

I love those papers, Susan!

Lovely layout, Mary. I like the Stitched S as it calls attention to the title. Also, the font Brandish you use for Santa Claus. I checked, and I have it. ?
