I, too, was planning the switch to publisher and since I wanted to also work from an ipad, the universal is the way to go. Already used designer and i am annoyed that things are in different places win vs. Ipad.

Yes, I see that the layers need adjusting. This is just a throw away for the workshop

Day 5: Okay, the flood background eraser is AWESOME! But, ugh, when I would copy the picture over to my project it didn't want to allow me to move it. I don't know what it kept selecting but I finally deselected enough times on the project and the picture that I was finally allowed to move it after it was pasted into the project. I am a bit partial to this, though the triangle and square are blah, but worked as my shapes for this project.

Okay, I like to go off the rails in tutorials and tend not to follow exactly. I used Katie Pertiet Love of a Lifetime kit. The color picker was very annoying but might be because I was using a template and had to write my text over the template and then delete the template words.

Okay, I was actually having an issue with PSP that Carole helped me fix and then I had a hiccup getting my trial version activated. BUT, I am up and running now. I am legally blind, so I prefer a dark background without all the glaring white. I also chose to go with the mono icons. There are other projects that I need to complete, so I haven't picked any photos yet but I have plenty ready and waiting on my computer when I do the exercises.

And, moving on to Day 3.

As usual, I am behind. While I am not creating actual projects with this workshop, I am doing the exercises and learning techniques to use in my cards next year. I am slowly unpacking my office and getting supplies where I can use them (the whole house is unpainted and that has to be done before I can really put things away). I am planning my schedule for next year so that I can give cards again. Can someone send me the link again for day 1 so I can see how to fill with the confetti again? Day 2

DAY 1 I don't have any current projects, but in the new year I will get back to making cards and hope I remember everything from this workshop.

Is anyone using this software? I need to combine pdfs on a monthly basis but I can't afford a subscription to adobe. My current method is very time consuming but doesn't cost me anything. Also, is this a one-time purchase like PSP (with future upgrades when you take them)? There is a black friday sale for $39.99 is this the best price or do you know of a cheaper discount to look out for? Thanks.

I am all moved and we closed on mom's house on Friday. Not unpacked by a long stretch, but starting to get some of my craft supplies out (finished my sister's birthday card at 4:30 p before they picked me up at 5 p). Looking forward to learning how to understand some of the quirks you get when using type (just had some this project, very annoying).

I have never heard of radio bingo but this sounds awesome for me and my blind friends that like to play bingo but there is not enough interest in a central location. Yes, it is easy to find all braille or print braille bingo cards and player pieces.

I'm still in post move box h*ll, but excited to learn something new about drop shadows. I have used them plenty but I would like to be in control of what I am doing and not just guessing.

Okay, just finished with all the videos. Mind blown! My head is full of ideas but I can't practice yet so I have on a 😞. I think I will have to take this class another three times before I can call it good (no, I can't afford Diamond Membership at this time as I am on disability). The good news is that my home sold and I picture a day when I will be able to take time to work on things again.

finally completed lesson one. I had to go back a few times to really get the node types. I think this is what was frustrating me the other times I have tried to use them. It seems easy when Carol does it.

I always think I understand vectors and then I go to do something and it tells me to convert to a raster. Or, I know how to do something but I am missing a step.

I am in. This is the #1 thing I use PSP for and I am looking forward to seeing some alternative ways of doing things so that I can work faster. My new home has finally arrived and packing is getting down to the nitty gritty so I probably will only complete one card, but I am interested in all the techniques. I am also interested in making my own envelopes, possibly with the help of a silhouette (just got one but will not set it up until I have my new office/craft room).

Definitely interested in this one. I am currently working on one for my sister.
