I just finished Beginners Scrapbook Project #2. Here is my version, a city bird longing for a vacation at the shore! ;)

F = Fig tree

Hi Sue. I'm really enjoying your bird photos and layouts! I now have a big gang of sparrows that are flying around my neighborhood in a large group..like a gang of rowdy children!
I'm admiring the elegant frame on your goldfinch layout. Is it just a setting in Effects?
My latest creation is for my great grand's photobooth pix. It's from a Scrap Girls kit, Eve; following the Beginners Scrapbook Project #1 - New Kid on the Block. I thought I'd add a frame..the pale gray of the paper tends to drift off into the web page..
EDIT: added a border

Finally did that layout. Never did use the Elements I made from the Lab. Was poking around on the Campus and found these beginners layouts with tutorial videos. This is #1-New Kid on the Block. Kit from Scrap Girls-Brandy Murry's Eve. A little experiment: I added a pale gray shadow to the NEW KID headline and liked the embossed effect it produced. Thinking of adding a narrow dark border. The pale background tends to drift off into the page, otherwise. What do you think?

Made a photobooth strip of my great granddaughter, Sonya. Struggled a bit with the selection tool but finally found the Custom Selection Tool. Now I need to do the other Experiments and come up with a layout.
I decided to rearranged the photos. Exhibit 2
And then I tried monochrome

Carole: You asked "Is Adam a cat you adopted?" Yes, he and his adoptive sister Eve. Her animal shelter name was Mango but I changed it to match his.
Adam already knew and answered to his name so I didn't want to try to change it when he was new to our family. He was disoriented as it was! Eve didn't know her name because she had only been in her shelter a short while. Here they both are. I was trying out the Depth of Field adjustment on this photo -

My Day 7 - The photos are all mine except for the little hilly "mountains" that I got off the internet. I also used elements from Cassel and Marisal's 1000.
What's next, Cassel?

Here is my story about Fear. This was a story I heard growing up in my family...
UPDATE: It seems I can't stop tweaking my creations! These changes were not extensive. A different colored button and I edited the story, adding a drop shadow to the title.
Now we can see the results together:
=^..^=

Art: I did my text in a circle by using the select tool, choosing circle as my shape. Then I pasted my text into that. It took a bit of juggling to get the correct size text and I found it worked best in the "centered" mode. I ended up doing the little headline on a separate vector layer. Hope this helps.

Carole: Ha ha! I knew I had no wigs in my work! LOL
-
Carole: I must have memory loss! I have no idea what you are referring to with this statement:
"Ann, did you end up impressing that person again after that wig incident?"There are two Ann's in this class so maybe that is the answer????

Sorry, I'm running late this week. Showtime is being a pain with some ads we are running for their show at our theater on Wed! Plus, I had a hard time with topic. I did track and field in HS but nothing to write a story about. The topic I ended up doing is my daughter's risk-taking which involved a dangerous sport! See for yourself..
UPDATE: Of course I had to tweak it a bit..not sure which one I like better..
-
This story happened in 1977-43 years ago.. seems a Long Long Time Ago... ;)
I did make the alphas for my headlines.. It wasn't easy..I went back to the video and keep stopping and starting it and flipping over to my PSP in between! lol
BTW, we were not kids.. Frank and I were in our 30s at the time..

Starting over with this post.. I accidentally uploaded the huge version of my page and I guess it's stuck somewhere in the spam filter! :)
My page is a memory of my mother and her love of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue .. the first jazz for a full orchestra and a fabulous showcase for a pianist, which she was.
She was also a flapper, bathtub gin and all and she loved gardenias. Here's my tribute..

Good morning from New York. Yesterday I thought I would be first up but was unhappy with my creation so I got up this morning at 3:30 and completely changed it except for the story and the photo and my dad's train. He worked for the Erie Railroad and it was a big thing in our life. My kit was Lady Bug Hugs and the font for the story headline is Snap ITC.
Cassel: I had to reset my PSP2020 to default again. All the icons on my layers palette were gone. Having trouble with memory I think. I did figure out how to retrieve the shortcuts!
-
I had this color in mind.. and PAPER! .. AND STORIES..
See what I came up with..basically my PAPER resume
The font is Britannic Bold, the alpha is from a kit - Somewhere in Time
All the other illustrations I found on the newspaper websites and the little bundle at the bottom right is a free transparent png
I made all the colored papers myself..filling with a brick texture for the one. Background is SW Perle Noir
UPDATE: I added a frame and a nameplate. See what you think..
-
Cassel: My PSP2020 is now behaving MOSTLY well, except overnight it appears the icons for .JPG and .PNG disappeared from my toolbar. Luckily I remembered where to get them!
I started this Module 5 last week and then didn't like what I did so, had to start all over again. But I'm happy with it now and looking forward to Stories! I made some of my own plain papers to get the colors right. I think I might have added the drop shadow on the photo twice by accident and didn't realize until much further down the line. I didn't tweak the shadow on the lettering because I enthusiastically added the paper shadow along with all the rest of the shapes. Oh well.
Yes, we had 9 grandchildren and now 2 great-grands. The family is growing!
Sorry, lost the text on my first upload.. here's the correct version. I can't see how to delete the one with the error.

Hi Grace, welcome to the world of Paint Shop Pro. I've had the software a long time but never had classes before and have learned a great deal here in the past few months. I got it originally to make graphics for web pages I was trying to create with Dreamweaver. My only real web creation was for our business, the Warwick Drive-In Theater here in Orange County, New York. I'm now retired and having more fun with scrap pages and meeting the nice people here.
I hope your surgery goes well and look forward to seeing you around the Campus.

Here's my page for Project #4. I used a kit called Rustic Reflections from ScrapGirls plus some odds and ends from elsewhere. I didn't like the look of a doily so I added the engagement ring because this is announcing the engagement of my granddaughter Jackie Crozier and her honey, Corey Thorpe. They've been together for 7 years now so IT'S ABOUT TIME! lol
Jackie is a zookeeper at Claws & Paws Wild Animal Park in Pennsylvania and Corey works for an environmental firm. The wedding will be in June 2021 and there's an outdoor engagement party Sat Aug 15 that I will be attending.
EDIT: somehow, the engagement ring top right vanished when the pspimage was resized to 600? It was still there on the full image and resized properly this time. No idea what happened... ??

P = photos printed on paper

This is my grandson, his wife and my great-granddaughter Baby Magic. Hope to be able to travel from NY to CA to actually HOLD Magic!
A lot of new lessons this time. I used the marisol-1000 kit, plus a few other things.
Thanks, Cassel!

Basic Course Module 2
Quite a few new techniques with this one. Not sure I understand the Warp Brush yet. I enjoyed making my cluster but my mats/frames were not cooperating very well. I also struggled with shadows on a separate layer with my banner. I didn't put any shadows on my title because that lettering has it's own 3-D design.
This is my great-granddaughter, Magic, again that I featured in the Bootcamp. I was impressed with their photos and it turns out a friend is a professional photographer. Magic is now almost 2 months old but she looked this way at birth. It helped she weighed in at 8 lbs. My other great-granddaughter, Sonya, born July 26 only weighed 4 lbs 8 oz and was stuck in an incubator for 3 weeks while she gained enough weight to go home. She's now home and eating like a champ!

Susie: I love the ladybug theme. Where did you find it? I had a problem like you when I upgraded to PSP19 but I asked in the Forum and they pointed me to where all the old filters, frames and tubes were located in the new version. They are there.. just ask. Good luck!

Hi, after just finishing the July Bootcamp I thought I'd keep going with the Basic Scrap Course. Here is my project for #1 - I took the pictures of birds with my iPhone outside my kitchen window here at my condo. I did try the Selected Focus tool and like the way it worked to blur away the busy background here in my parking lot. I spent a lot of time gathering up papers and embellishments to suit the birds, so no buttons, only bugs! I like hearing any comments, good or bad. Oh, I forgot to mention, my supplies came from digidebdesigns, LinJane, 1000 Marisol and Janet Scott.
What are you working on (in September 2020)?

Beginners Scrapbook Project #4
Cassel did Friendship..I did Family
These photos are from the recent engagement party for Jackie and Corey. These kids are Jackie, the bride-to-be, in white, with her TALL brother Tyler, pregnant sister Ilana and step-sister Katie (in red shirt). What they were doing? I have no idea (and I'm afraid to ask!) lol
The gold plaque in the center is from the internet when I was looking up a saying for Family and I liked the design so much I added it to my layout.
EDIT: The reduced version somehow lost the text at the bottom. Here's the revised upload..
