Day 6 I really do love glitter! Matthew's brother sent me the picture of Matt with the rifle, and I was reluctant to use it because of my aversion to guns. However, it fit so well with Art Deco which was my first kit. I used a photo of Chooch that has him behind a speakeasy bar with a 20's style cap on his head. The bar and cap are from Adobe Express. The flowers were made in FF. The papers are from my first build a kit. The heart is a brush. The font is Edith from CF.

Day 5 - Photos from my grandson. The background is from our paper class; the grey paper is from one of my photos of granite and the brown is a PSE layer style, cracks. Unfortunately, the PSE style looks like a cookie, but it should symbolize the cracks in the desert floor. The font is a layered font from CF called Rainbow. Since I saved the original as a vector, I was able to change the layers to match the colors of the page. I used Carole's scattered elements script for the bones(and did not distort them this time😊). I downloaded the daisies from Adobe Express. I used shasta daisies since they grow in the desert and can designate sympathy.

I did resize and will redo it.

Are you asking about the picture with my grandson, Matthew? He is devasted; his FB post made me cry. In fact, the whole family is devastated. Chooch was a wonderful and loving dog. Part of his FB comment "For 11 years since the day I brought you home you were my constant companion and best friend. We swam in oceans, climb mountains and hiked through deserts. There will never be another dog or friend like you."

Day 3 - Honoring Chooch. The background is from a photoshop brush, the stripes are my own, the hearts are from a CF font with a style added from PSE. The dog bone scatters were made with the custom confetti script. I made 3 different tubes and combined them.

I love gold and use it a lot. For this challenge, I used a flower from AE with a sculpture effect using one of the gold patterns. The flower pattern was made using Carole's scripts--pattern maker and seamless pattern. I used a slight layer style on the flower and a gold gradient for the background.

My table with my favorite drink--cappuccino, favorite kosher dill pickles and ham sandwhich with tomato, lettuce, cheese and onion. The plate, coffee, pickle, napkin with tableware is from Adobe Express. The bread texture is a PSE style. The ham, lettuce, onion and tomato are from Canva. The wood background is from one of my photos.

My workspace: I prefer a dark background and have customized my space to make some of the commands one-click. I have also bound some of my favorite scripts next to the script output. I also save the custom workspace since sometimes things go crazy, and I have to reload.

I think that I have my final poster. Now, I have to see how it prints.

Thanks, Julie. I'm going with the blue.

Thank you, Julie I overthink things and added a beige vintage layer with a hue blend. After your kind words, I am thinking of removing it.

Julie, I love the quote and looked it up on the internet. "Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories" - Ronald Reagan I think I may use it on my poster. I am still having problems measuring up to your creativity on backgrounds. May I ask your opinion on this one?

Love this layout, Julie. I still debating on my background and layout. I may steal some of your ideas.

Susan and Julie, Thank you for your sympathy for one of my grand dogs. Fortunately, Matthew had a lot of photos of Chooch. My three oldest grandsons live together with their girlfriends, and the whole family loved Chooch and were devastated. They were all crying when I called. Chooch was part Huskie and loved pulling the boys on their skate boards and floats in the streams around Vegas. He also loved hiking in the desert with Matthew and David's pit bull, Finan.

My dear grandson, Matthew, lost his beloved dog, Chooch, last week. Needless to say, he is devasted. I am working on a poster for printing in remembrance of Chooch. These are my first photos. The photos are from Matthew, but the effects are the result of Paintshop and PSE. I must say that Paintshop Pro adjusts the clarity and color of the photos much better than PSE. The frames on three of the pictures were made in PSP using vector tube-the bone frame, Carole's Wordframe script and a doggy heart font from CF. The beach photo effect is from PSE. I have a plethora of photos from which to choose.

Playing with Carole's pixel stretch script.

Maybe I should put in my hearing aids. 😄

Gorgeous!

Thank you, Ann. Strange, but I didn't hear any sound!

The book looks great, Monique. I love Canva and am planning on using it to make my flipbook.

Thank you, Susan. I am definitely saving that background as a psp image with the layers so that I can change the color. I don't remember where I got the stamp.

I decided to make a back page for my magazine. I used a graphic downloaded from Adobe Express and made it a brush. After I made several layers, I used a blend mode. The stamp is from my Travel workshop.

Day 7 - I cheated and used the cass photocircle script for the first page for my circles. The 2nd page I made the masks for the photos.

What a cutie! Are those glitter shoes? I love glitter and have glitter shoes in black, gold and silver.
