The silver is beautiful. I love the way the orange-gold works with the silver! And the blue works nicely too. If I were to change anything at all, I might carry that silver gold theme over to making the text gold too. I think the text would pop a little more.

Wow! Thank You

Do Tell. At least enough to get me started please. I watched a couple of Affinity tutorials and I see what you mean. It does look more streamlined in several ways. BTW, I loved 💖the last page you posted.

Young people like me? I'm 74 and have been using Paint Shop since v 8. I've used it almost exclusively for photos until I started taking these scrapbook tutorials. I've learned a lot which has come in handy when editing sheet music.

hope this isn't considered off topic. I'm wondering about Affinity. I assume people are getting into it because PSP will not be updated. How does it compare to PSP? Any significant limitations?

I didn't know PSP had word art? Do you make word art in a Microsoft program and then import them to PSP? Thank You Sue

How do you make a couple letters out of line and twisted like you did on the word moon?

There are so many beautiful creations i can't list them all for fear of leaving someone out. Wonderful work friends! 💖 I haven't had time to create any scrapbooks but I am finding the videos very useful. I took this class last year and had forgotten some of it so it' great to have a refresher. I did manage to create a new Facebook Cover Photo banner. I took advantage of the skills I learned in Carole's curved text workshop.

That is beautiful.

Thank you for the compliment! Pun intended - I play with complimentary colors a lot. In April, I picked an image with gold in it thinking my main color would be blue since yellow and blue are complimentary. Then I like to go slightly off from the complimentaries. Gold instead of yellow, rust instead of gold, slightly unsaturated and lighter blue than solid blue, etc. If I used bright yellow and bright blue it would be horrible but by sticking with that basic combination and making variations it gets interesting. I developed these ideas when I was making computer generated fractal art. Choosing colors was half of the process.

Your colors and layout are so tastefully done. I love the boxes with rounded corners. What is the name of the script you use for that? Also I have been wanting to color the frame differently from the frame like you did for November. How do you do that?

I decided to make them a little darker so they'd match the golden colored bushes in the photo better.

Somehow I missed April.

That's exactly what I mean about doing things the hard way. I've been working on the frames too, but I haven't isolated them by promoting to a new layer. That's a great idea will probably make things much easier for me. Thank you

I feel flattered you took the time to write that response. I need to study it. Thank you very much! I've used PSP for a couple of decades now to tweak photographs, and my computer generated fractal artwork, but it's all been on a single layer. I'm just venturing out in using layers gradients, masks, and all these other things in the past year. So nearly all the stuff that were learning in these workshops is brand-new to me. I think the reason why my projects look as good as they do is because I have a good sense of color, I'm very creative in a lot of ways, as well as being really good with computers. The ideas just come to me and I figure out ways of getting done what I pictured in my mind. I'm sure that I'm doing many things the hard way!
