My church ladies made small bags with ties to hold personal items on walkers and bed guards.  This suggestion came from the nursing homes.  I had one left and have found it to be very useful now that I must use a walker myself.  We also made lap pads for wheelchairs that could be made with small quilt squares.

Carole I was trying to remember what settings you used on that clip without going back to watch again.  Guess I got in a hurry.  That particular clip appears to be made from cardboard rather than a real metal clip.  To me it looks like it is floating and I think I went overboard a bit.  In spite of all the problems I had I enjoyed going over the classes again and appreciate you sharing your time and experience.

Final project 5

My PC restarted so I am posting project 4 before anything else happens.  I had planned to add some pink scatters but decided not to take a chance on it going out again

I was ready to resize project 4 and upload, went to have dinner and left it open on my pc and it crashed.  Not sure it is going to restart or not.  If not there will be no way to get it back.  I got the message "No hard drive found".  This has happened in the past right after an update but cleared with restart so hoping it will again.

Project 3 catching up.  Tried to make my plaid match her skirt.  Used the glitter Carole posted for the mat under the photos.  Not sure where I got the bird graphic and I drew the giraffe years ago using a pattern open beside my canvas.  My Grand daughter posted the photos on Facebook so not the best quality.  The main background I used a Filter Forge texture as an overlay over another layer of the brown color.  Lilly is giving the turtle a hug not trying to choke it.  LOL

 

Carole you ask me what is my style.  That is a hard question but I can tell you what I do.  I open a photo I want to use and my inspiration will come from that photo.  I have always had a problem when I try to go by a layout someone else has created.  One reason why I keep taking this class over and over is to try to force myself to accomplish that.  So far it is not working.  This is a lifelong problem for me.  I seem to freeze up when ask to work on an assembly line so to speak.

 

I do learn something or relearn it each time I do a class though.  For instance in the project 5 video, I believe, you said use the move tool after locking the layers together that you want to move together.  I rarely use the move tool so I guess that is why it always frustrates me that even though locked things refuse to move together.

Here is my project 2.  I got over my sickness and then had computer problems so running way behind.  My Great Grand  again that I mistakenly called Gracie in the first one I posted.    The flower and main paper is from pixel scrapper.  The rest is either created by me or graphics I find (except the photos which were taken by her Mom).  These projects are somewhat difficult for me because they are nowhere close to my usual style  but trying to at least stay close to the original layout.  My idea of shadowing is usually a lot different and are mostly assumed to be paper on paper and then sometimes I just do something for an effect.  I like what Carole and what others create using this style but am never satisfied mine.  Thanks to all for your good wishes about my food poisoning!

 

 

Well I hardly got started before I got sick.  I think I got food poisoning from a local grocery store deli.  Woke up about 3 A.M. with the most awful digestion and things went downhill from there,  could be a stomach virus or maybe even covid instead.  I know of one person that only had stomach problems with covid.  I really think it was the chicken pot pie though.  It was made from scratch in the deli but no idea how long it had been in the warmer.  It is now 4 in the afternoon so hoping it gets better before the boot camp is over.  Just wanted to let Carole and all know I did not abandon ship from lack of interest.  I have managed to look at most and everyone is doing a great job on the projects.

Day 3  My background came from a friend on my website when we had a share day.  It was gray and white and very small.  I used the hue/saturation to change the color and stretched it out to fit my 3600X3600 canvas.  I added the texture called grain long, The bubbles are tubes I believe they came with a version of PSP but not sure, the title font is Curlz MT and I forgot to write down the font I used for her name.  The Disney Mermaid stickers I found on google search and cut them out.  I had to force myself to remember how to put the shadows on the bubble.  It took me awhile but I finally remembered after using the undo on several things that did not work.  I wanted to create my own clear bubbles but did not have time to do that today.  Her name is Lilly not Gracie.  Fortunately when I posted it on my Facebook page the eye was closed on the name so it did not show up.

 

 

I found all the pieces of my creation on  google search.  Since I have done the boot camp several times I wanted to try to do something different.  I actually created a slice of bread but did not much like the way it turned out.  I added alvacado slices to mine and ham instead of bologna.   Had to cut out each piece of the silverware, all veggies and bread and I created the place mat, and dishes with PSP 2021.

Thank you Ann.  I got my email later.

Anyone have Day 2 email yet?

Day 1.  I use the light gray workspace.  My desktop is setup like Carole's.  I will probably be featuring my Greats in most projects.  The first photo is My youngest Great; Gracie.  Well I really goofed on my project.  This is my great grand Lilly not Gracie.  Her older sister is Gracie.

No Carole I probably signed up after the email was sent.  I would like to review it if you have time to send it.

Hello Everyone, I am here.  I have done I think 2 Boot camps in the past.   I guess the projects have not started yet?  I have not received one in email as yet.

I have really enjoyed this project and have loved looking at everyone's creations.  Too many to comment on each one.  Thanks Everyone for sharing and thank you Carole for this creative project.  Congratulations on your 10 years and hope you have many more!

Great catch Nadine, thank you.  I guess I got in a hurry.  I made each thing different days and saved as jpg for posting here and then decided to put them together instead of separately.  I will probably create a better page later some of the things I created and will pay more attention to fitting in the shadows with other things on the page.  My shadows on this display are kind of all over the place.  LOL

These are the tutorials I have tried so far from the Big 10.

 

Tutorials are kind  of too fast for this old lady to keep up and remember.  I have also done the linoleum pattern but did not fit this page very well.

 

 

Well since the link at top has changed I no longer know how to get back to the Big 10 show off when the tutorials are.  I have looked everywhere I can think of and no luck. Can you please post a link so I can finish watching the tutorials.

I have lost so many files there is no way I can locate my very first scrap page but this is an early one from 2007.  I do not remember when PSP X10 came out but that was the first version I bought from Corel.  Before that I used version 6 of the Jasc program, and earilier a program called Picture Publisher that came I think with a scanner I purchased.   Carole did not specify 1st page from this site so hope this is OK.  I started with Scrapbooking on My Family website many years ago.  I think the name was Simply Scrapbooking created by Lorie Starcher.  I actually won first place in a contest on the site for this one which is kind of funny now looking at how the shadows lift my photos off the page.

 

 

Dragon fly made from Carole's Script.  I have puchased so many of her scripts and love them all!

 

 

 

 

Love Story Day 4.

Day 3 Love Story.

Mine went to spam again I guess.  I do not see it.  I edited to add the link and it went away

https://scrapbookcampus.com/master-classes/overflowing/This one has several things combined.  Cannot remember all but the obvious out is of bounds using promoted selections, along with the overflow.
