Day 3. I finally understood the Journaling of text. Previously I could never get it to work. I love this photo of my Grandson and my darling Bundy. It is an old one but every time I see it, I love the 2 beautiful faces.

Really loved our time in that wonderful country.

Day 2. Our tour of Amsterdam Cheese & Clog Factory back in 2014. What a great day we had. I feel a bit happier with this project that Day 1.

Day 1. Yes, I have done this workshop before but definitely needed a refresher course. I have always had problems with Text for some reason. The top text I did a Vector and Raster Layer and then used the eraser tool with a watercolor brush to erase the bits from the text. On the bottom Journaling text, I did use a Vector and Raster layer then used Effects, texture then sculpture on the raster layer. I am not really liking the finished project but at least it gave me a chance to play with text.

@Daniel Hess Thank you so much for your comments.

Day 11. Bundy and his Champas have now passed but we constantly think of them. They were a very big part of our lives. Millie our now 8-year-old little girl, was lucky enough to spend a few years with Bundy. Thank you Cassle, for all your advice, because I have learnt so much from all your tips and tricks and pointers. This is how I have got to this point. I still have a lot to learn but I am getting there.

Day 9. I decided to keep featuring my little fur boy. I also added my very handsome grandson. This photo was taken about 9 years ago now. My Grandson loved Bundy. I have added 2 photos as I did have a little trouble just getting the outcome that I was happy with.

@Cassel Yes, I did add the extra shadow around the circle because it did not appear to stand out enough with the small shadow.

Day 7. Happiness is Bundy. Our little boy gave us so much joy.

Day 5. Decided to add and tag and a crown.

Day 5. Our little Boy was around 10-11 months old when this photo was taken. Such a missed little boy.

@Cassel I actually used bits and pieces. I am a collector of anything that I think will come in handy for a project then I cannot remember where I got it from. I most try to be more organized with my collections. @Ann Seeber the name of the font was Doggy Smart.

That is so true. I think I am doing good, then when I post my masterpiece, I realize I have so much to learn.

@Cristina @Michele @Daniel Hess @Julie Magerka Thank you all so much for your encouragement. This is why I love this group. Everyone tries to help each other out.

Day 3 and I did enjoy displaying this photo of our beautiful little boy, Bundy. He passed the rainbow bridge almost 2 years ago now and we still miss him every day.

Day 2 and I realise there are so many that are better than me.

Lesson 7. This one was almost as hard as the last one. Have be able to lean a lot. Now all I have to do is remember it all.

Lesson 6. I have really found this hard. This has taken me quite a few hours to get to this. I have really learnt a lot.

I really struggled with this lesson 5. I don't have a steady hand and trying to get the shadows right is very difficult for me.

My Lesson 4 attempt.

@Ann SeeberI think I need the script

My 1st attempt of lifted corners. I think I still have some learning to do.
