Hi everyone. I have done the Calendar workshop before and now give calendars to my relatives each Christmas. I don't always use the formats from the workshop, but I always learn something new that I can use in my designs.

Day 11 - Project 5 I finally noticed how Cassel was opening her papers and pieces without using the organizer palette. I really like the CTRL-O (File open) option because it shows more options than you can see in the organizer palette.

What I learned. Not sure I can say I learned this during this session, but I was certainly reminded of it. The use of the Magic Wand to make the frame around the photos was a feature I was looking for in my notes not that long ago. Glad I got to see it again. Thanks

Here is my Project 4. I used some pictures of Weaving tools that I turned this summer. I am not a weaver, but I belong to an organization that has Woodturners, Weavers/Spinners and Gourd Artists so we cross paths quite a bit. Most of the papers I used came from DigitalScrapbook.com (formerly Pixel Scrapper).

Day 7 - Project 3 On our recent trip to France we got to tour a number of places. One of them was Monet's garden in Giverny. Here are some of the many pictures we took while there. I'm getting used to the shortcut Ctrl-Y (for the drop shadow) this time. Thanks

Project 2 We travelled to Paris and London this summer and this was one of the sites we visited (Royal Mews). The Royal Carriages were quite spectacular. Love to use these shortcuts, but might not remember them for long. It's lucky they are listed with the menu options. Made a few changes based on feedback from Cassel. Shifted the elements and changed to gold text. Thanks for the suggestions. PS Cassel - Regarding the Lace Spools from yesterday - No I have not made Lace, just make the spools so far. I used to Knit and Crochet, but now my time is mostly taken up by woodturning. Thanks

Hi everyone, I seem to have missed the email for Monday (Day 2) but since I am a returning student I'm sure I'll make out OK. I just got a new laptop and am still getting things set up, but here is my attempt at Day 1 project 1. I am a woodturner so the picture is of some Lace Spools I was asked to make this summer.

And day 7.

And finally Day 6.

And Day 5.

Down to the wire with these, but here are Days 3 and 4.
