Here is my 1-2-3 Challenge. I did the tutorial for the paperclips and used the search in the campus to learn how to use them. The tag is one I made in the vector workshop. I remember to use shift when I was sizing the tag to keep the original shape. The polaroid frames (I oops'd and did three) were also from the tutorials in the campus. And even the 1 lonely sequin is from the tutorial. It is really bad, so there is only 1 and it's small. I did have an issue with Inner Bevel. I had wanted to use it on the title but it turned my title almost white and I'm not sure why. this is the setting I used. Does anyone know what I did wrong, you can see with the preview of what it did to the pink. I used the inner bevel on the frame around the edge of the layout and it was normal. I need to give that sequin another try. Mother Nature was busy making a grey sky and lots of wind, so I did these photos in my studio under artifical (constant) light.

I agree!

I found myself imagining you riding up the hill to take that picture. This would be a site to see, all cattle in line like that. One thing great about all prairies is the sky is as vast as the landscape. And when there is clouds in the blue sky it's awesome to lay on your back and watch the clouds. My parents had roots in farming but rounding up the "crops" didnt require horses, just mechanical horsepower (combine). I much prefer the sounds of nature and the cows/horses as they move through the grass. I dont like noise. Sue, did you ever work with herding dogs? (here or back home?).

Ann, what a delightful photo. I love your title and bottom "With Pockets!" . Hilarious. I should have joined the bootcamp. Thought I'd have too much on my plate though (other than my sandwich and tea that is?).

Angelo, you can ask your questions here in this Bootcamp forum, if you need help with the lessons in The Bootcamp. Carole or another member will see them and will be able to help you. Elsewhere in the campus you will see other forums with other topics. I had neve been on a forum either, before I started with PSP. It will take a little time and you will understand how to post in various forums based on the topics of such forums. For now, you are in the bootcamp, so any questions about that can be posted here. Hope this helps

I didnt know Nike meant Victory...now I know why Nike chose that name for their brand (Shoes, clothes, etc).

Thank your the information. I love that kit and found it at oscraps.com. What a great website. I did put it on my wishlist hoping it comes on sale since it's in pounds (1 pound is $1.60 CAD). it's adds up once you get over 5 pounds.

Rattlesnakes! Yikes is right. I was hiking very early one morning (years ago) and was about to take a step when I saw something move and it was a rattle snake recoiling. It was colder so he was slow moving. I'm glad I did not step on him. On the same hike we came across a spot where there was flattened grass that a large animal must have been sleeping on. Whatever slept there slept on a rattle snake, he was sadly no long with us. We suspected it was a bear as we had to walk by this very large bear, just sitting on it's butt with one leg sticking out to the side, super relaxed looke. We on the other hand were not feeling very relaxed as he was just off the trail about 10-15 feet away. A runner and her dog had come by us a few minutes prior and told us about the bear and that it's likely gone because the dog was barking at it. Nope, it wasnt. We didnt make eye contact, just walked by and a distance away we high tailed it back toward the car. Later that week the local paper was warning people that that bear was fake charging people. it was a the biggest bear I'd ever seen (living in BC we did see a number of bears when camping or hiking) and not a smaller black bears were were used to. You layouts are so fun to read. What an awesome trip that must've been.

Welcome to the Bootcamp and Campus. Thankfully Google translate is here to help everyone take advantage of this wonderful workshop. What a sweet beautiful Nika. Many of us in the Campus have cats. I have two, one looks very much like Nika (her name is Saya) and I have a black cat named Sumi. You will see lots of posts in the Gallery section of the (Scrapbook)Campus of members cats.

So cute. I love Gil Sans Ultra Bold, especially the 'i'. It's a great go-to thick font isnt it?

What an experience this must've been. What do the horses think of them? And the cows (were you hearding cows)?

I'm shocked that I can see that difference. How sad this is. I wonder how "tanked" on drugs these ones are. It reminds me of wild fish and farming them, prisoners in their own habitat which isnt natural (to be confined) at all. It seems like when we take wild animals and farm them, they require more drugs to keep them "natural".

I love it.

And we all learned and had an example of two different ways to use it. I understand how foggy a brain is when you are tired. today is that day for me and I'm about to get in a car and drive! Look out world, here I come! With less than 3 hours of sleep. Got home from work after 1am (work was physically exhausting and my hands are really stiff this morning from it), scripted till 3am. Saw my husband leave for work at 3:30am. bed at 4am. Cat woke me up at 5:30am, she was hungry. back to bed, up at 7:30am. thankfully, today is my day off and my appointment is a massage....I might be snoring on the table. ?

You are in the right place Barbara. With a beautiful layout! I've done the bootcamp 5-6 times. I would never have being able to use PSP if not for the bootcamp and the Scrapbook Campus. So, you are right place on two accounts.

What a sweet kitty. The best assistant ever.

Ohhh, yummy, I'm coming for lunch.

I thought it was supposed to be like that. It actually looks cool the other way (the first way you did it) too. I do like this version, it's very polished and pretty. And good to know that we should use the eraser brush. I wouldnt have known that.

wow, what an experiece for you. We were at Elk Island Nat. Park, (it's close to us, 30-40 min) and we drove in and there was one right there beside our truck (glad we were in the truck and not the car), it's just as you say "almost scary in their size". It's amazing how fast they can move too. They do seem to have an air of nobility dont they. Truly magnificent. Well, I think any nature experience is magnificent. A squirrel running along the fence, the LBJs in the bird bath or dirt bathing. It's fascinating to watch and makes you happy.

I love the style of your layouts. I download/buy these types of papers/element then cant seem to use them. You've seen my style, it's pretty static.

I will look for this one. In AB we have Elk Island Nat. Park where conservation of Plains Bison is going on. They have sent bison all over the world to help repopulate areas they used to be in. A big part of them establishing in areas is natural vegetation which is hugely stripped where any farming has/is going on. It's a fine line, I have farmers in my family and my niece's sister-in-law works at Elk Island with the bison conservation efforts. We need to find a balance for everything on the earth to thrive dont we? I'm sure I will shed tears watching this one.

That's a good idea. I didnt know enough to try Suz's script. Now I'm more confident and will give this a try on the files I have that I couldnt load.

Do they have instructions on their website somewhere.

Simply beautiful Corrie. The punch in the corner is really pretty. Great colors as well.

What a cutie! And if you find any extra time...please send it my way.
