Daniel what a beautiful dobie. So sad and heartbreaking to see our pets age. I've had my share of issue's with the cut tool. Just yesterday I realized when you do the right click this, right click that, I was doing it on the layer in the layers palette. that did not work. Then when I thought I truly understood it yesterday, today was maddening (I will be posting the results) and I couldnt cut anything. So, I feel your pain. Very cool stats on your walking, I love that sort of stuff.

Oh, yes, the pick tool is a mischievous little devil.

Oh wow, I did not know that. thank you, I will go back and fix it. Speaking of fixing it, on the camera I see I went over with line, is there a way to get rid of that mistake? Oh wait, would I just go back to the vector, in edit mode, mode the node back?

LOVE this phot and the quote.

What a stunning photo Corrie. Both of them

I love this. My best friend (since I was 12 yrs old) has just moved to Scotland (Nairn on the Moray Coast ). What a beautiful country. My dad's side of the family hails from Scotland too.

I love this! You think spelling something wrong in a layout...try hand lettering a quote and seeing a typo at the end...especially if you got all the spacing correct and the lines straight. There is no undo only a do-over.

Agreed, eating your feelings is very calming! (BTW, I LOVE shortbread)

Lesson 3 I thought everything was going great. Somehow my anti alias got unchecked. I wondered why things were so jaggy despite not being that zoomed in. Ah, the newbie in me rearing it's mistake-ridden head again. I will post what I did so far because I'm out of time now. I did the camera parts as different objects that I WAS going save as a preset shape. I liked the camera (from the summer collection download) so I will do it again, I can sure use the extra practice since I see some mistakes I want to fix. I also showed the outline on the camera so you could see the parts. I need to go bang my head against the wall and repeat: Anti Alias ALWAYS checked. If I had a blackboard I'd write lines too! 😩

OMG! hahahahahaha, ya, that's it! It's not ME, it's my KEYBOARD! From now on I will run all my layouts by you first. Sheepishly, I will admit I used cut and paste from the internet on that journaling. Did you think I could actually write that well? I could have gotten an AI to write it, but since the google AI has recommended using "glue" as pizza sauce and another recommendation of how many rocks a person can eat, I think I might be able to piece some words together better than that. I just looked at the bigger version. It is an "i" but it's hard to see the dot. Poor choice of font on my part. As looking at the version here, it looks like two L's for sure. Keep up the ribbing and editor extraordinaire duties, please!

These are good reminders, I wrote them down. thank you.

I love the organic designs(and that we can make original ones anytime). That label is a great shape with the rounded corners.

I love the expressions on the Olivia's face, especially the bottom one. It sure makes you smile. The cut outs are such a great idea, I like the strips, the whole design is so well balance and interesting to look at.

I have fixed my mistakes, here is version two. Thank you Sue, for the info about the text kerning and stretching. Really good point about going vertical AND horizontal in regards to possible distortion on the glyphs and letters. I must admit I had not thought of that. In this new version everything stayed in it's original shape and size. Thanks again to you and to Ann for finding my mistakes. Sounds like you (Sue) are having a good time with all creatures great and small on your farm. I'm just about through a crazy work week then I will reunite with my camera, which probably feels pretty abandoned. There is a little more texture in the background (lower portion) but it's hard to see here.

Have a good trip, "see" you when you are back!

This is me as well. Then every once in a while I redo the whole notebook. I dont want my passwords stored on my PC so I keep it the old fashioned way. And besides, we hardly "write" anymore. I still do, I'm a neurotic note-taker.

I hope you feel better quickly. Miss you in the workshop.

oooh, I love that word "mephisitophelian". I also think Titivillus, the patron saint of mistakes (Actually of scribes: that's who we blamed for calligraphy mistakes when I was learning calligraphy) is another culprit to our taming of the modes.. Here's the google interpretation of the dastardly demon: Titivillus is a demon said to introduce errors into the work of scribes.

These are so cool. You could make a whole alphabet. LOVE the snowgirl! I cant imagine the temperatures you are having. Is your A/C fixed? We have had so much rain and two nights ago almost 0 degrees. Should be in the high 20's or low 30's (Celsius) by now. Weird weather everywhere.

Lesson 2 Felt a bit better, less panic when I over click while trying to catch the nodes. Lots of UNDO! Still, it's really satisfying playing with the nodes and getting a better "handle" on the handles.

I love the cornflower shape, it reminds me of 50's-60's design. I have just made a similar one like your Cayenne one. And like Ann, I love that Autumn Shades.

I have all these issues too. I had to turn the node size back to small because I couldn't seem to hit the middle when they were bigger. Lots of zooming in required. Oh, and sometimes the arms are so short I don't think they are there. I'm trying to watch the cursor better as it switched to arrows doesn't it. And sometimes I get the 4 arrows but don't know why. they don't let me click on the nodes, this did stop once I went back to smaller nodes.

I got the silent treatment from my PSP last night. I however, wasn't so "silent" about PSP's rather abrupt and rude behavior. .

Thank you Sue, accolades from you mean a lot to me. I sure did experience not getting the text edge to edge and wondered why my magic wand was acting oddly. Until I zoomed in real close and saw I was a few pixels shy on one side, therefore, opening up the whole top part of the canvas. I will have a look at the "No Kit" masterclass this weekend, after I get through the busy work week (next week is the lighter work week - we all like that one better!).

Why have only 1 or 2 Ls when you can have it all with 3 Ls, am I right? And thank you for having my back. I see the error of my ways and will get it corrected. This is the brain that gets up at 5am and is still on the computer at 11:30pm. Yeesh, what has happened to me. It almost looks like I changed Hercules name to Herculesto, or maybe he's Herc's cousin from Italy. 😁
