I cant even imagine how you do scripting and keep it all straight in your head when you are doing it.

Thank you Cristina. I does look much better apart than together. Here's one that I clicked the wrong button when I was mirroring (or flipping? the other half) and I liked the shape. it's the same starting label shape but me clicking the wrong button and ending up with a happy accident.

Is this it Ann. Coatis (from Tupí), also known as coatimundis (/koʊˌɑːtɪˈmʌndi/), are members of the family Procyonidae in the genera Nasua and Nasuella. They are diurnal mammals native to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States.

Beautiful Anja. I have two of those scripts. I dont have the airbrush paper script, it sure looks great on your layout. Another one to add to my wish list! Love that font too.

That's great to know...I've already started my wish list for the next sale. ?

Do you get to choose if you want the word on the bottom or the top? I have been curious about these scripts. I like the look of them, but have been trying to get some element type scripts first.

Me too out-of-sight out-of-mind is me to a T. I havent had very much luck with the Windows search, works sometimes but mostly seems to take too long. I need to organize better so I dont have have to hunt for files, because on that day I thought to put a file somewhere brilliant. So brilliant, I'm too dull to find it.

The brad is really nice and I LOVe your background. Did you make the circle to, it's really nice.

I'm starting to see more and more how they can elevate a layout.

Here's a funny thing I noticed. No, I'm not into tatooing iguanas. I was moving my Stripe Ribbon around and passed over the photo and it looked like the iguana had a tattoo. I think this was a blend mode of "color", not the one I used in the layout. Now I can see what people are doing when they color animals or other objects, they are likely using blend modes.

I combined the April Front Challenge with Lab 6-8 Stripe Ribbon Custom Label Cross Stitch I didnt like my Stripe Ribbon so I put all 4 together, merged and made a couple layers and used it as a border with a blend mode. The Custom Label; I saved the two parts before putting together and ended up using that version with the Flora Gardent font for the challenge in between. I hummed and hawwed with the edging, if I should omit it from the text or continue it. I tried just the top and bottom of the 'E' but it looked unfinished, going around the th outter edge looked weird, so I just closed it all up. the shadow needs work on the offset so it makes it hard to see. I believe the pictue tube leaves are Carole's. The tag is KMRD-My Fathers Study Tag 01. The Cross Stitch I used as two stitches to hold the tag on. The photo is mine I found while cataloguing shoot dates. I had passed it off as a bad photo, but thought I'd see how much I could do. Adjustment layers were used and I made selections and used the Adjust option on the top of the tool bar for selections (3 different ones in total). Does anyone know if you can make separate adjustments layers for selections, would I need to group them so the adjustment doesnt affect the whole photo? I used a texture layer on the backgound to simulate reptile skin. second font is Funky Grim (CF). This was fun to do and a surprise at what I did with the photo. Cant wait to get better at the photo editing/adjustment layer part of it. Again, I must add, my monitors are very bad so i really have no idea what anything I do looks like.

Good to know, I have been buying since 2018 but I think I never used 2018 for a very long before upgrading to 2019, which i didnt use until 2020 when I took my first bootcamp and have been upgrading eversince. they give such a tantalizing upgrade price it's hard for me to resist. ?

I'm gong to play with it and see what i like. I like the idea of less clicks.

I have been downloading some 3D files too. I love the look of your layout, even smaller compressed size I can see the layers and dimension in it. This is beautiful, it looks like a real framed piece of artwork.

I still havent tried the JPG optimizer even though I put it on my tool bar. I use the PNG one all the time. I think the settings probably throw me off and it's also probably not as hard as i'm thinking it is. Do you find it more useful than resizing and saving and then changing the compression at that time. Just wondering how it's a benefit to using it over regular resizing and saving. If it makes my workflow faster I'm all for learn it.

That is a big difference. Nice colors. Look how that one tree is in the gutter perfectly. That's fabulous.

Me too. Unzipped stuff, and me thinking, that's where that went. I usually have a specific spot the zip and readme folder goes once I'm loaded it into My PSP Resources folders, sometimes I forget to do that. We need a script to catalogue our scripts/store purchases...but where would that script go? hahaha

what a nice tribute and a wonderful story to read. Jackie is very impressive.

Or maybe some kind of flowering tree, like a cherry tree with blossoms or a pretty maple in the fall. You know how you can buy them when they are small, and they are in big pots. I know a bonsai would be hard to do. If anyone can pull it off, it's you. of course it's spring so a little long rectangular planter box of tulips would be nice too.

How about a bonsai tree. Keep showing us, they are so interesting. Love miniature things

so pretty. the frame looks great and goes so well with the photo

Good information Rene. Thank you. that is just my problem. Some have instructions you need to follow and i want to have access to them. I do have all the README files in one folder, but want a visual as well. then I can do a search say for BOWS and get all the ones that have bows, then I can see which one I want to use and how big the ribbon needs to be etc. This is year I get organized....hahaha, just like every year! Really, I mean it this time. Oh oh, that's another fib. Did you put One Note on the bottom bar (task bar?) I have to go diving for mine as I never use it, but seems like lots of people do so it might be worth looking at that one as well.

Corrie, many months ago, did you post a picture of how you organize your scripts and other purchases from the store. It looked like an Excel spreadsheet and it had the preview photo on it as well, and the instructions and other information (what folder to put it in etc). I want to do a similar thing with my scripts, tubes etc. Just having the Name and Instructions in a MSWord document doesnt work for me. Excel has conditional sorting, and other types of sorting that will work better.

Very much. I have a number of them where I did the bargello pattern. Your script is on my wish list for the next sale. My original inspiration was from a glass artist who made complex bargello patterns in fused glass. Soon I as I started where I work now and saw the spines of flyers or paper sections I knew I wanted to do that with paper. The whole project was supposed to be called F & G because that was the sections of the paper that I inserted on those nights. My co-workers thought I was nuts, now they dont even bat an eye when they see me taking bundles home. (these are left over bundles, sometimes there is really cool patterns but that flyer will run out so I dont get them)
