Susan Ewart

Thank you so much. You have made my heart sing!

I've had the same experience as Rene. I voted early and it was so much better than going on voting day then rushing to work or going after work when I just want to go home. It seems like the days of long line ups are over, but I do remember waiting in a long line up. I also worked at an election years ago. It was an interesting experience and paid very well too.

Here is March and April. I'm not sure what type of background I want to do, I'm trying a desaturated hue and using the fading foreground with white. If I stay with this idea I'll add some kind of texture to it as well. I have not decided on a font yet.

Thank you so much. It was fun. I had planned on using Mother Nature's light source (the Sun) this year but it was always so windy when I wasnt working, so in the studio I went and just played around. I have very mickey-mouse light set up, but I make the best of it until the day comes when I can get some good lighting.

Wow, nice sunset (sunrise?). I really like the rounded date boxes and that it covers the whole bottom.

Ohhh, Mary, I love this image.

And we are grateful for Sue's eyesight! Saved my butt many times. Not to worry, there are several people in the campus with eagle eyes.

Congratulations Ann, to your grand daughter. What a wonderful experience she will be living. And we will get to benefit from her up close and behind the scenes photos you'll be displaying.

Please keep up the banter, it cracks me up. Every time I looked at the forum, and had another discovered mistake I laughed at myself. And when I got home from work and looking at the forum, I thought, how awesome you all have my back and saved me from looking like a fool. It's okay to be a fool, but looking like one, well, that's a whole other story.

Jan and Feb Thanks for the info on the line. I got one on the Feb calendar too. I don't even know how I fixed it, but I did. I'm just happy I had some time tonight to work on this.

That is so beautiful Michele. With those photos you really get the feeling you are there, just like your friends parents.

Wow Cristina, this is beautiful. I love this type of layout. I'm looking forward to trying the Ann Aspnes stuff in the winter.

I wasnt around for that time, now I'm curious about it.

My goodness, I was on a roll wasn't I. I have to admit I was in hurry for the second meeting, where she picked the style of the cards in the suite. Thanks for catching that.

I did save it as PSP thankfully. And it's the early stages of this process. the bride sill needs to fill in the details of the reception and other stuff (shuttle service, parking at the event etc). I just needed something to put in the card I make so she can get an better idea of how it would look completed and if there will be changes or additions to the various cards in the suite.

Thank goodness for you and other in the Campus. Did you read my post above about the other misspelling, it's a duzy. Thankfully I'm still in the sample/testing stage. it will be proof read by more competent people than me. It's so funny that after seeing these for weeks now and not even noticing it. I must have too much going on in my head.

We will miss you. I hope you procedure goes smoothly and you have a swift recovery!

OMG! Thank you so much Jeni. And weirder thing is that's the ONLY one spelled right. He spells it Micheal, and it's really hard for me to spell it that way. It's like when I'm typing I have finger memory and automatically spell it the other way. At least the invite and reception cards are right. What's even funnier, is I did a bunch of test samples of the cards in the wedding suite (invite, reception, accommodation, details) with different wording as the bride hasn't yet decided on the details other than their names, the time, the date and the place. So I was making different styles with different words and one of the tag lines on the bottom of the reception card was "Drinks, Dinner and Dancing".....my niece looked at the sample and started to laugh. I had forgotten the "r" in Drinks. YIKES! The final will be spell checked by numerous people...perhaps I should send it to you and Ann S, you both have a keen eye 🙃.

These are fabulous. I really like the top two.

It's actually called Joker, I kid you not. And it's from Creative Fabrica https://www.creativefabrica.com/product/joker-8/

Wow! Stunning Corrie!

I love this Sharla. Are you in the UK? My friends just moved to Scotland (on the Moray coast in Nairn) and they send me photos. The birds are so cool, lucky to have jackdaws. They also sent ones of a Rook. Wow, what a prehistoric looking corvid. I love the speckled starlings and just was told that's their winter coat or something. When I lived on the Westcoast (Canada) we had starlings (invasive species there) but they were just black-ish that I noticed, I wasnt as into birds then).

I used Hortense for the Script font (Michele I.D it for me as it was the Brides pick - I paid for it from Monotype, a type foundry that's be around over 100 yrs). However it is problematic, the glyphs at smaller sizes seem to get cut off - on some letters - with the bounding box. It's not ideal, as the smaller version "r" cuts off - look at the "a" above, cuts off part of the bottom middle of the loop (I was writing "reception to follow" so the "r" is important. At size 300 or 450, it's totally fine. This font has glyphs for lower case but none for upper case letters. I think CF would have a similar font with more glyph options. The Display font is Adeston from CF I think. I'm really drawn to the Display fonts. At the same time, even with the issues with Hortense, for a bouncy script it's the nicest I have seen. And I spent hours looking for one just like it, but I liked the curve of the swashes and so I used it.

Maybe not so much postage, but sort of, since the finished card will look like a mailable card - they are being hand delivered. This will be the the piece that will affixed to the belly band that wraps around the wedding card (pocket fold card with envelope like flap that wraps around the card) that I'm making for my niece's besties wedding...and the reason I haven't been as active in the campus lately. I will redo the hearts since they weren't a vector and have being problematic to work with. I ended up making a vector version. I'm still in the sampling phase and finally found the cover weight paper I will use since what I really want just isn't available in Canada right now (despite Neenah having a mill in Canada). It's a bummer as I had to reduce the size from the more traditional 5x7 format. The card required 13 inches to construct so I had to get it down to 12" and use a scrapbook paper. Nothing will be as nice as Neenah's Classic Linen in 110-130 lb cover, but this other one I got will do.

What a beautiful photo and area. What is the building at the top of the hill?
