Great job Julie , another useful tool, (depending on the version you use), is the perspective tool to make the buildings level.

I agree Michele. Thank you both :)

Great work ladies, love the Papers Linda. My mojo seems to have disappeared with the exception of making my kits that I sell in a few stores.  These are my most recent kits.

I have been looking for my mojo this past week or so, and can't find it....so if you come across it please let me know!

I was working on something different, to previous creations, I was trying to emulate a certain style. This did not turn out the same as the style I was looking to create but was pleased with the outcome.

For me it was definitely the sizes of kits. When I first started purchasing kits (or using Free kits), they were mostly full sized kits. At a later date there was an added option to buy full size or tagger sized kits, at that time I thought the full sized would be better.  However, the more kits I collected (free or purchased), it very quickly started to fill up my disk drive.  Looking back I wish I knew why they had the two sizes. I did not know back then that it depends on whether you want to print for a physical scrap books or just to make tags with the kit. For me I should have gone with the tagger sized as I used them for tags.

Even now I see Designers with kits that have some very large files as well as some smaller files in them, when they are sold as tagger size kits. Some designers are not resizing files. It's not only the space on your own drives, but when they are added to a store it can also eat up the hosting space, which makes it more expensive for hosting costs requiring a lot more space online. Now I design my own kits which are tagger sized, and I reduce all my files to make the kits a manageable size.

You're welcome, and happy to help :)

32 Bit plugins usually end in .8bf.  There are some that are .exe like Eyecandy, and Alien Skin, when you install them you will see an old and often blue computer screen. These should be installed in the Program Files <x86> folder (32bit) Majority of the old plugins are 32 bit. There are more older plugins around than the new ones.

 

This site links to many of the original sites, where they may provide information on the plugins and also will link to the some of the linked sites may have the new 64Bit versions (This site also includes some freeware plugins for download (mostly 32bit). https://grafnet.com.pl/

 

Some of the old plugins can be "patched" using a program called Filter Meister, (FM PAtcher) so that they would work on new PCs, however, it can be a tedious process when you have many filters to do, and some of them do not like to be "patched". I have seen some of these filters have the words "patched" & 64Bit in their filenames.

https://www.filtermeister.com/

 

This site has some useful information on plugins and the installation of plugins inc DLLs.

https://thepluginsite.com/resources/freeff.htm

 

There is another program called Filters Unlimited (versions 1 & 2) where some of the old filters are imported into the program database, and will work on newer PCs.

Awesome Michelle, love it.

It's been a while since I have made any cards. Made this one for the Snow theme.  I used Royalty Free images from Pexels, was pleased with the finished design.

Hello all.

 

I use the complete Edit, with default black colour, and all toolbars showing except the organiser and the learning centre

 

 

Day 3

OK Day 2,

 

I did not have something else to go with the flowers that would make up a story, so I added something different for this page of my publication.

Iim a bit late joining I have been busy this week. I will try and catch up

 

There are some lovely designs here.

 

Here is mine for day one.

I played with one of the templates from Cassell; It was my mothers birthday this weekend. I used one of the family photos taken on the day. (My daughter was not able to attend as she had a wedding to go to that day). The photo was not taken by me.

 

I changed the original colours and patterns of the template to match the colours in the photo.

Thank you Marlene, this has also given me some other ideas for the next challenge. I love yours too, love the beautiful Opals. I have a friend in Australia and she travels around a lot for her job, she is a chef and works on sheep ranches feeding all the employees. I love hearing the unusual names of places in Australia far more interesting than our place names. So unusual living underground too.

CHallenge Day 6

 

Had a busy day today, but wanted to get this finished, It was one of those projects, that you keep changing till your happy with it, so it took me a while to complete and happy with the finished result.

Great job Sheila and Luann

Thank you Sheila :) Awesome idea for pin board Love it

Awesome Annie and Jan. :) Annie, I love Disney, have collected Disney items since I was a kid. Jan that celebration looks great fun, love the photos.

 

Here's my challenge Day 5, more photos from my holiday in Gloucestershire last year.

The top photo is a panoramic I created using my bridge camera which has a panoramic feature included.

awesome Marlene, Awesome photos, and I love your design. it's been many years since I last went to Brighton. Loving all the different designs ladies.

 

 

CHallenge Day 4

Got carried away and did a centre page spread of photos.

These photos are a recent visit to a park, which has an area with all the animals and a few more that we were unable to get photos of.

There is also a lake which we love to visit too.

Thank you Marlene, I really enjoyed doing that challenge and happy the way it turned out, it's my first time doing this.

 

Thank you Cassell, It's been a lot of fun going through all the old photos and such a great way to display them too.  I am often looking at what I can do with all the photos I take and more recently been using them for my artwork.  I take a lot photos of birds, animals and floristry, as I love nature. I love interesting and historic buildings too.

 

I am loving everyone's designs you are all doing a great job.

Looks great Sheila

Sheila

Thank you :)

 

No, I don't live near Sudeley, I live in North London. I went on holiday last year to Gloucestershire, we stayed in Cheltenham, and explored the local tourist places. I agree there are some beautiful places there, I loved Sudeley Castle and Bourton on water, we had a great holiday there. Now that hubby and I are retired we have time to explore more places and take photos. Looking back I wish I had taken more photos of the area. Hope to pop back there again sometime.
