I think me and their AI dont speak the same language. I have tried and all I get is hideous stuff that isnt anywhere near what I "thought" I described. It's same as when you contact a company and they use a AI help "person". You ask a simple question, how do I find my monthly invoice, and it sends me to look at how to hook up my new streaming box (that I didnt order, cause I already have one).

What a great way to use this layout. I LOVE that graphic on the top layer. Wish I cold see it bigger. Textural stuff like that is so fun to photograph (and see). Where I come from (my home province, not the one i'm in now), Garibaldi is a mountain; skiing in the winter, hiking and camping in the summer. So I was thinking, when did you come to Canada?

Wow, these are cool. And this is with PSP and not another program? It's hard to pick a favorite, I love them all.

What a happy looking Lucy. If ever a dog could laugh allowed, she would be it. I love Van Gogh's work, esp Starry Night. I couldnt bring up the song in my head so I looked it up. It's really nice.

I agree with Anja. I am quite captivated by this. The art is amazing.

Quick Page Day8 Quick Page from Digital Scrapbook (Marisa Lerin - Tunisia Quick Page 01). Photo is mine, very old...actually comes from a negative that is too old to reprint now. I scanned a smaller print (the one hanging up is 17x22 and would not fit the tiny old scanner I have) version I have and it lost all detail in the shadows. I chose this photo after I was looking for a Quick Page and saw right away, the color was perfect for that photo. This the quickest Quick Page I've done to date. Fonts: Resnick and Reneo (Creative Fabrica). Thank you Carol, for a wonderful workshop. I have enjoyed all the variety of layouts everyone produced. The active forum was fun and I looked forward to checking in to see the new pages and reading the comments.

QP Extra Lesson 7 I didnt change anything on the page. Photos of crazy sunsets taken from the windows (front or back) of my house in Chilliwack (British Columbia). Being in the Fraser Valley, surrounded by mountains it was a treat to have days that there was a sunset. Normally we'd have grey sky days. Where I live now, there is less rain and sunsets almost everynight. Fonts: Magista Brush and Maxim from Creative Fabrica.

This is beautiful. It makes me want to try getting something printed.

OMG! Lucky you!

This is so beautiful!

I know what you mean. You start doing one hobby and that leads to another hobby which leads to another one. I started making glass beads, then I needed to use them, so I learned silversmithing. then I needed to take pictures of them so back to photography....where I started out in high school (and I was a photo mini lab supervisor for years).

I sold all my glass studio tools and supplies when we moved to where we are now (almost 10 yrs go we moved), and last year I sold all my silversmithing tools and supplies to buy a new camera. It's like the pre-pre-downsizing. I chose photography and PSP to be my hobby going into that phase. Glass/jewelery took up a lot of space. Now I laugh because I have a photo room that is too small, and another studio in the basement for paper supplies, for paper art, photo props (huge amount taken up with this0 or whatever. More purging to go, I want a nice streamlined studio.....that is about size of an aircraft hanger! (that might not be enough?) .

That is so peaceful looking. I love the sound of running water. I love fountains, you can often see rainbows in the fine misty spray of water in the air.

Ann answered this below. Most people would know it when making pottery/ceramics. But there is different types of kilns. Mine was for glass, fusing pieces (melting or partially melting) together. Because of the themal shock that can happen with glass (think when you take a hot glass out of the dishwasher and put cold water in it and it thermally shocks and breaks), kiln ramp up in temperature by certain amount of degrees per hour, usually stays at the top temp for a period, then needs to ramp down in temperature quite slowly so it doesnt cool too fast(releieving internal stress - also called healing. the bigger the pieces the longer the time it takes. Here are my two kilns. One I used for glass fusing and the little blue one was a table top one used for glass beadmaking (called Lampwork, using not a kiln to melt glass, but a oxygen/propane torch). There are many kinds and shapes of kilns. Glass blowers have huge ones like in Ann's photo and they will them ovens.

Good luck Fiona!

Quick Page Lesson 7 This is 20 years ago! How did that happen? It only feels like yesterday I was getting up at 3am in the days before a show to re-load the kiln. This is the years I set down my camera and got a point and shoot digital camera. Ugh, it was awful. so much lag time between depressing the shutter button and it actually taking a picture...this wasnt a cheap camera either. fonts: Madelyn calligraphy, Showcard Gothic, Magic Hopes (Creative Fabrica) Photos: mine

Wowzers! that is really cool.

What a wonderful story.

Such a great idea isnt it. The homeowner I talked to said one person showed up with a bag full of books to put in. She also said she has extra books in the house to replenish with. The "librarians" are really quite inventive with their library structures.

Quick Page Lesson 6 I had no idea what to do for this one as the photo space is very small and doesnt lend to detailed photos. On our walk today we came across 3 little free libraries. I have known about two of them, but I needed 1 more for the layout. And bingo! There was the blockbuster one (it has DVDs in it). I would like the do separate layouts in the future that shows them. the black one is exceptional. And we got to have a chat with the library owner of that one.

Monique, they look great where they are.

Wow! those are so beautiful.

Quick Page Non-Scrap Lesson 6 No words, just photos circa 2010. It was hard to find enough white photos. I will be on a mission to start taking more white flower photos. This is a neat way to showcase photos. I think I'll be putting that script on the list. Now onto the actual Quick Page for lesson 6.

Quick Page Extra Lesson 6 I'm starting Lesson 6 with the extra. I love the layout of this quick page (I mean the QP as itself). For such a small area for the photos you eye is really drawn to that spot. I dont deny it, this is a challenge for my shooting style where it's hard to get photos that fit into a square. It's a good challenge for me. I dont have a great lens for moons, they are tiny in my images so i have plenty of space for getting that square layout. I took some creative liberties with the backgrounds going from the darkest blue of the full moon to the lightest blue in the less than full moon the lightest one is. Three of the moons were actually shot in the day...I call them Day Moons. The full moon was shot at night. I had to extract it and put it on another moons background (with permission of the "other" moon of course). i like using the selection to put the quotes in. I changed the colors using the Hue Map, it took several times going back to it. Photos: mine Fonts: Gill Sans Ultra Bold and Gill Sans Ultra Bold Condensed (windows)

All I could think of when I was slicing them was them screaming, "noooooooo". Food shouldnt freak you out. I felt kinda bad eating them...but they were so tasty.
