AWESOME! It's better than I could have imagined! Great job and a big THANK YOU for all your work and your continued collecting of the Whole-y Font (PS...it's a religion, but I spelled it different so as to not step on any other religious toes) (PS2 'Whole-y' as in ALL the fonts in the world).

Excellent. Thank you

I've always said, "I need a 48 hour day". I wish I had more PSP time. How rude that my job interferes with that!

I only got the email from the photo edits class and nothing since, except the forum emails. Should I register again? Or will it be in the Diamond section and I can just access it there when the workshop is on?

There is almost as many masterclasses as there are Labs. At this rate I think it will take me another 2-3 yrs to do the labs and then I'll start the master classes....that'll be another 3-4 yrs. I need to retire so I have more time.

What a cool layout and what a cool place to visit. I LOVE the mask. What a great idea.

I do agree. It is the shadow that came with the lifted photo when I ran the script. I wouldn't attempt to do a shadow like this, maybe after the upcoming workshop. I wonder if something happened to it when I grouped it with the card and copy and pasted it into the layout. I will have to take a look at the orginal lifted photo layers. Thank you for the compliments on the T-cups. I had been collecting them for over 25 yrs, because they were so pretty. little pieces of art that I could afford. Now I'm trying to pick only my most favorite ones to keep. It's very hard to do. I managed to get down to about 30, but would like to get down to 12.

Week 28 Scripts used (apart from Counting Cards1-Weeks) Custom Playing Card Lifted Photo I used the tutorial called: Button the back ground is made from a Kaleidoscope tile. After flood filling a layer I duplicated it and chose Multiply to get it darker. then I added a texture (texture effects>texture>squares). The kaleidoscope is subdued and probably wont show up here. I inner bevel and shadowed the outer frame and each text vector all separately.

I registered but also have not received confirmation. My challenge is when there is bent or curled elements such as the twisted ribbon and the Lifted cards and things like that. Also if I was to make clusters. I saw before how there was a lot of selections and promoting to get the shadows to reflect the different level one element might be shadowing. Also when you get outside supplies and use the cluster without the shadow option, how would you do that. Or is it just best to use the optional cluster that is already shadowed. I used one recently but had to add an additional shadow because cluster with the shadow was way too light.

Oh boy my editing skills are atrocious. I should have said, "I sure HOPE there is not......etc". Yes, we are actively recruiting members. Just touch base with our National President (Michele) and she'll set you up. I wonder if we should get cards made, so we can say (and prove) we are "card carrying members". Maybe the prez (Michele) will get on that. Hint Hint.

me too, this would be fun

Go through the Double Page Workshop and get some ideas! You got this. Once you start the ideas will flow. It takes me a while to "warm up" when I sit down to do a layout. Lots of "yuk" moments, then trying to fix the yuk, I get inspired by something and then that directs the layout. It's rare to know what I want to do when I start.

I learned this too, back when I was learning Calligraphy. Eg. Formal Gothic - all the lines look the same, I could never tell when one word ended and another started.

Ditto me too. I sure there is NOT a 12 step program for that, I want to keep feeding the "need".

This is OUTSTANDING Donna! I love it. It's very Art Deco, my favorite.

D -Digital Scrapbooking ....it's always an adventure...am I right?

Z = Ziplining (not sure of the spelling)

X = Xtreme adventures (eg ice climbing, bungee jumping)

Lately I grow my subjects, then cut their little heads off...that way they cooperate. 🤣

Wow, I never knew this. How cool and interesting. Thank you. Must not be an easy thing to capture. Those little LBJs are so fast as everything they do.

If I ever get time I will be using ON1 Photo Raw, as an editor, but it has layers too. It would be similar to Lightroom and has a very good masking AI. Alas, I have not even had time to learn how to use it. Sigh. It's another big learning curve for me (never having used lightroom), but it has the fine adjustments I want to me making that PSP doesnt have (nor does Aftershot Pro - I tried it)

M = Mountaineering

Your mom and my mom must've being soul sisters. I was told I couldn't leave the table too. My go-to was crying or having a temper tantrum. And my nemesis (to this day) is fish. I also won, lots of tears were shed, but I didn't have to eat it.

since 2023 doesn't have that option anymore (you have to edit selection and choose the pick tool to resize and/or move it) I totally forgot until I watched the tutorial. I think I should go back through all the workshop tutorials to see what else I have forgotten. that might be a good project for the dark, cold winter months.

I've had moose and coyotes run down the middle of the street where I live. But they are common here. We get pelicans too, more so in Edmonton than in St. Albert where I am, and not as much as Saskatchewan gets.
