it's the limo of all cats. So bizarre looking. even the head is long and almost weasel like. But those feet and that tail are all cat.

I love seeing these stats. It would be cool to see these stats year to year.

I LOVE your sticker! it's so cute. You did a good job on it, it looks like a real sticker. Your colors are so nice.

me too! Nothing like a deadline to make you productive.

Yup, sounds like me, different list but same result. But I'm a sucker and I'll make 'em and I'll break 'em...probably by the end of January!

I'll be snoozing thru the ball dropping too! The fireworks put on by the city started at 8pm!

Wow! this is very really nice!

Ann, that is beautiful. Thank you.

You are most welcome. Hope to see you around the the Campus. check out the forums "What are you working on" is for whatever you are doing, and there is also challenges throughout the year which has their own forum post and also lots of Free workshops during the year for everyone! Hope you can join in with some of those.

If you are a Diamond member there are a lot of tutorials on how to make papers, backgrounds, elements etc. And there is usually a deal to try the membership for a month that would allow you to look around to see if that's what kind of stuff you are looking for. It has really helped me in learning PSP. the membership is quite flexible too. You can do it monthly or yearly or just do a month here and there a few times a year. If you are not a member, check out the "blog" tab and possibly the "Resources" tab (at the top of the page) as you might find some background techniques there. I would do a search in the search bar for "backgrounds" and maybe try one for "papers" and see what comes up.

Yes, Carole you are a genius. This is what my husband told me to do. And I believe there was one layer that was the culprit. It happened so long ago it's foggy. I hope this works for you Julie. It's frustrating when something is going wrong and you dont know why.

This happened to me once. I don't know why or how I resolved it (I know, some help I am). I thought something was wrong until hubby looked at the file size and it was the size of yours and not typical of my file sizes back then. I actually had to re-create the layout. I think it was something on one layer that was the issue. for some reason was way larger than it should have been, larger than it's original. I just chalked it up to me hitting a wrong button. Working with the layout was awful, it took forever to do any function; like, 'save' would take several minutes for the pop up to happen. it has not happened since. To this day I don't know what I did to get the size that big. But I do know a size that big would take a long time to execute any command. Even watching some of the photographers I like using Photoshop, they'll say it will take a minute because the file size is big...and it will only be 50MB, so you can imagine how long it would take for 300 MB or more. Sorry, I could not help since I never found the reason, or what I did to make it happen like that. I think hubby thinks PSP was doing something in the back ground when I clicked save or something else and it added the file size to that layer, I cant quite remember.

Those elves aren't just sitting on the shelf....they are watching us, every move we make. They snap photos with their ninja-elf quick reflexes. Dont take your eye off them! If you see a flash out of the corner of your eye....it's THEM! BEWARE, the Elf on the shelf!

You can never have too much of the two things: GLITTER and SEQUINS! Love the characters you chose.

Now that's a reindeer! Love it!

I will have to have a look, these are cool.

Wow! this is cool. It is pretty convenient isnt it. I needed the Santa, sleigh and reindeer and popped on there and got dinos instead of deer. I have till Next Nov, then I think I need to stop the membership stuff (except the CAMPUS!) for a while, it's getting painful on my bank account. I'll be trying to fill up over the next year and that will be what I have. Unless I win the lottery that is.....without buying a ticket. 😆

Merry Christmas All! This is my husbands company's version of Christmas. We went out in the evening to photograph the tire tree and snowman. They had lights but the battery was dead. I had wanted to try some light painting but the ambient lights from the parking lot was very bright, but I did use my flashlights to fill in the shadows a bit. Then I darkened it a bit again because I liked it a bit darker instead and lighter. It's nice to see even a big tire company has the Christmas Spirit. The font is Klasted from Creative Fabrica. The moon is from the parking lot that night as well. I got the light flare from CF as well. I wonder if there is a way to make the Santa/Dinosaur arched without distorting it. Like we do with vectors on a path. I would have liked a little bit of an arch on them. I used a Layer Style, outer glow...which I've never used before but I've seen other do it and liked it. I had to use the lowest setting and a lowered opacity too otherwise it's crazy big.

Oh man, what is a better job than this? At work when we see rabbits or occasional coyote, my co-working and I are always saying how we want to get our face right up in the fur...well, your g'daughter gets to do just this. Thanks for sharing. My hubby is most jealous.

Nicely done Mary. What a beautiful place. Such varied landscape. Have you been there?

You are most welcome for both and I'm going to take your que and go with "when robins appear, loved ones are near".

Is that an English Robin? So beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and all in the Campus.

me too. it was fun.

Thank you Carole. I enjoyed doing them all. Maybe I've been missing out, not doing jigsaw puzzles. Or is it because it's digital and only 40pce? Yup.

That's a beautiful gesture Fiona. And if tears are shed it will be tear of love for their mother. I think they will be very happy and grateful for your thoughtful present.
