I will continue to rock, take pictures of my grandson, and more

I wish you all a very happy new year. May all your wishes come true.

U = Unity

What I'm going to do in December and in the coming days is neither scrapbooking nor painting, but rather rocking my third grandson born on December 15th 🙂 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all and have as much happiness as my and my whole family.

I suggest you watch the "Handout" of "PaintShop Christmas 8" which is complete and very well done.

Carole is quite capable of making very good tutorials. Go see the one from "PaintShop Christmas 8"

Another thing I do and that is important to me is after watching a video of "Cassel" I redo all the steps with my own images (as much as possible), translating into French and adding screenshots of the steps. Even if the video is less than 60 minutes, I can take 2@3 days to make my summary (included a partial copy of "PaintShop Christmas 8" in French of course :)) Link available until 2025-01-31 Mon tuto.pdf

I also made my "Elf" style alphabet (using a scipt)

For my part, I got back into painting with Corel Painter (nice hat, isn't it!)

Day 7, Version 2

Very busy day. Didn't have time to find a nice photo and a corresponding text. I still wanted to do a test. 😞

I also made my "picture tube" with the correct color

@Daniel Hess Thanks for this information. It gave me the idea to make the modification directly on the layer containing the "rope"

@CasselIs it possible to change the color of the rope in the "Picture Tube" tool. I would have liked to take one on the cake.

My day 6 : Cake made by my daughter's mother-in-law for her baby shower

@CasselYes, I took 2 pictures and made one. I had already done the same thing with their half brothers several years ago. I often show them the picture and ask them who it is. After they have named their name, I turn the picture over and say "Well no, it's your brother". They find it very funny....

My lovely grandsons

@Cassel I followed your recommendations and it's really better.

A wonderful day with my grandsons

A story about a handyman grandpa

Day 1 Version 2

@Cassel: It is indeed the mother and her son with approximately the same age in the photos but taken with a gap of 32 years

My Day 2

My little contribution...

I'll be there too and I hope to have a little more time to participate more actively 🙂
