Very well said and felt by all of us Helen .

 

Cassel, I appreciate and enjoyed reading all your comments to me and other students.  I looked forward to seeing your post.

 

 

hello,

 

I like a dark workspace and background.  I closed the learning centre and organizer and kept the rest of the toolbars/palettes.  I'm hoping to use photo's that have been my Christmas card photos from the past years.

thank you for the tutorial link for the Fancy fonts.  I would never have known that.

 

 

This Linoleum pattern is cool.  It's the last video I got to see.  What fun this one is.  I found I like the monochrome versions better.  There is so much you can do with this.  I kept repeating the action until it was too much when backed off a bit with undo.  here's the link under Classes, Intermediate, Creative scrap https://scrapbookcampus.com/element-creation-index/linoleum-pattern/

Hi Cassel,

 

Thank you for a wonderful 12 days of fun.  My last post is celebrating this in your spam folder I think.  hahaha

Anne L, that's so cute.

 

Here is one from the tutorial that was just on.  As per my usual modus operandi, the undo button was the most used button on the keyboard!  I will know I'm improving when the undo button doesn't have to be replaced as often (kidding...I got a titanium one made, that sucker will outlast the earth itself!).  This was a cool tutorial.  I will need much practice and I went way too huge.  I really like the look when other people do this so I wanted to try it this weekend.

Here's upload try number two.  I got the weirdest error from my computer (how rude!).  This is my try at the cut out word. An abstract on complementary colors Cyan and Red.

 

Bonnie! Fabulous Red Shouldered Hawk page.  How lucky for you to get visitors like that!  Great shots.

 

 

I am registered too.  This will be my 3rd time.  I am still a  rank beginner and this bootcamp is great to help me become more comfortable with PSP.  I am looking forward to it.

Corrie, I agree, this feel like a special event doesnt it.  I know...it IS a special event.  But it's like a big seminar to you go to with hundreds of like-minding people. I love your layout, so beautifully done.    I'm inspired at where this can go for me (being at the beginning).

 

I just did the letter tutorial, here it is.  It's very funky looking.  I dont know what number 'S' is in scrabble so I picked my birthday. My 'S' is too high and it doesnt look as cleanly indented as Cassel's.  More practice required.

 

Sue, wow! how exciting your life with horses.  I loved watching 3 day eventing.  Point to point sounds really exciting.  May I ask the breed of your horse?  Thick neck, beautiful shaped head, I'm leaning toward Friesen (my fav. breed) or a Aussie thoroughbred, they are so big and beautiful, or perhaps a warmblood of a sort.

 

 

Libera, that is so cool.  I love the horse Sue.  My husband and I worked/lived at several horse breeding farms (race horses, quarter horses and international hunter/jumpers) in the past, as my husband was a stallion handler/horse exerciser and was part of the breeding team. I was a general horse handler, worked with the mommies and babies. I miss living on a farm.

Sue, that is stunning.  That paper is perfect.  I love the papers at PS, I could become a paper hoarder if I'm not careful. And Carole, WOW!  What a fabulous week.  Thank you for this fun ride and allowing us all to celebrate along with you.

 

 

 

 

Not sure if I posted this one or not.  It was the first page I made in May 2021.  I was amazed I made this.  I am still at the beginning of the beginner stage with PSP.  Not having as much time as I'd like to put into PSP in the last few months isn't ideal for the practice I'd like to do.  I'm in another online course (color related) that runs much like the bootcamp; lessons/homework every 2-3 days. Except this is 12 modules that are one month each (I am on #4).  I am working on freeing up time to dedicate to PSP as it is also important to me.  The only unimportant thing is my job...how do I get rid of that...and still get paid? hahaha.

 

Thank you to everybody who posted their Love Challenge pages.  I had thought I needed to do a love theme (sometimes my brain is like a dull knife) but I see it's more about the techniques that I really want to learn than about the name of the challenge.  Sandra, I love your paper flower and Sue T, of course not just your mind-blowing photography, I love your style and before I saw your flares I didn't really see the value in them.  I do now.  My big take away from the Big 10 is; do not presume I wont ever have a use for learning something I don't think I'll use, because the chance to learn many techniques and become more familiar with PSP is a big reward.

This is a test page from the Photo Gallery script that I won from the FB group and purchasable through Creation Cassel store https://creationcassel.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&language=en I have much to test out in this, but it makes a beautiful page.  Once I free up some time I will do some in depth tests with number and orientation of photo's etc.  These photos are mine from various years on the front of my Christmas cards.  I will do several layouts as I have many Christmas card photo's I want showcase.

Carole, I used a link in my last post and it is likely in SPAM-world now.

Here's one from the July 2021 bootcamp.  This is how I feel today after being woke up at 1:30am when a city vehicle was out doing some maintenance (at 1:30 am!) which sounded more like a car being stolen.  I'm might need naptime today!  Ann had posted a  really beautiful inviting garden layout and I jokingly pretended that was me (scruffy little pony) napping in Ann's  beautiful garden.

Ann S was asking about Sublimation ( i think this is what she was asking about).  I bought a Dye Sublimation background kit from Creative Fabrica. It is a printing process, here is the Wikipedia definition and a small sample of the one of backgrounds I bought.  I bought it because wanted to see what it was too.

 

Dye-sublimation printing (or dye-sub printing) is a computer printing technique which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. This understanding of the process was later shown to be incorrect, as there is some liquefying of the dye. Since then, the proper name for the process has become known as dye-diffusion, though this technically-correct term has not supplanted the original name.[1] Many consumer and professional dye-sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints, ID cards, clothing, and more.

 

 

Another page from the bootcamp.  Using the cutout (pinking shear edges) and learning how to change colors on the fonts.  I also learned about the size of the photo's on the page.  Originally they were very small and it looked odd.  I like that we get the feed back from Cassel and from other members.  Design isnt natural for me so I like the critiques to help me "see" what I'm not paying attention to.  The bootcamp project that Cassel was demonstrating was Bees so I added the word in the layout even though boats and bees are only related by the letter 'B' .  side note: when I was a kid we lived at a lake and we'd swim out to this old wooden boat.  One summer we jumped in and to our surprise there was a bees nest and we all got swarmed and stung.  We jumped in to the water and swam back home crying...for me bees and boats go hand in hand.

 

Ann, I love the skunk. You are so lucky to get to see so many critters.

 

 

I love snow globes.  Those are fabulous Sue.  I love everything Christmas, I'll have to check this one out.  My list is so long right now, 2 pages,  I might need to borrow some of my two cats lives to get to it all.  haha

Today the project that started it all.  I was amazed at what I made and at the magic of Layers.  This is from the July 2021 Bootcamp.  I cant find my first set table from the May 2021.  too bad, I'd like to compare them.

Lyn Lou, that is a beautiful layout and I love the words you wrote.

 

 

Ann Seeber, such beautiful layouts.  I love the look of the masks.  I think I will look into a tutorial.  Anita, I hope Leo cat is doing well.  It's such a worry when our fur kids are not feeling well.  Really nice to come home from work and check in here and see so many wonderful and varied layouts and projects.

 

 

This is from the July 2021 bootcamp, project 3.  we worked with glitter tiles.  I learned more about using the flood fill tool in this bootcamp.  the first bootcamp I was like a deer in the headlights; bewildered.  In the second bootcamp I was more relaxed and could absorb more of the techniques.  I didn't know the what a glitter tile was and that glitter paper was different.  This is a collaboration of an artist friend, her amazing glass art and my photography and wood stands.

I just watched the Day 5 video on FB, fabulous as always as I learn something and it was nice to see it live.  Here's a layout from the July 2021 Bootcamp.  I can find art anywhere.  This was one of several metal pieces across windows in the bathroom just outside Banff at Lake Minnewanka (sorry no chocolate factory there - with apologies to Willie Wonka).  The town was submerged, making room for a beautiful lake in the Rockies....so what do I do?  I take pictures of the bathroom!

 

Have a happy creative day!

I had to start at list! A list of all the master classes, scripts, labs, tutorials of all sorts that I didnt know about (or past over thinking it wasnt for me...I was wrong) that I want to learn.  Seeing them in action in everyones pages really shows the techniques in action.

 

here's my layout for today.  From Module 3 of the Basic course  https://scrapbookcampus.com/basic-scrap-course-1/module-03/ This is where I learned about "inner bevel" (under effects, 3D effects, inner bevel...I think).  I like that look and use it often.  Some fonts don't work well with it though I've learned.

 

When I check in to the forum each day it's like WOWZERS! Such eye candy....no calories and totally healthy for me!  Love it all.

I'm cursed by technology.  I posted something today and I think it's floating around in the World of Spam.  I must be adding my links wrong.
