Sharla, is the "autumn harvests" element from the kit or did you create it? It's really nice!

The March blood moon eclipse art is an original linocut created by my artist daughter, Debbie Lennox. The rest of the layout uses pieces from a kit called SI-StarGazer. The title font is Bauhaus 93.

As I have gotten older, I am no longer a big fan of maple syrup -- too sweet! I choose to top my pancakes or waffles with applesauce and even that is the unsweetened variety made with tart Granny Smith apples. My parents often drove from our home in New Jersey to Vermont for vacation, and, of course, brought home lots of syrup and maple sugar candy. They even visited a quarry and acquired a large, flat piece of beautiful marble for me that I installed as a top on an old Singer Sewing Machine base made of black wrought iron, including a large treadle. My Laurey still has it in her entryway.

I finally figured out I had to add a gold texture file to the Corel documents folder. Then I called up a leaf from my stash and made it gold. Somehow, it looks more like the underside of the leaf compared to the original. Which setting needs adjustment? I just added the original leaf element so you can see it is smooth and not as veined as the gold variation looks. Don't know how that happened!

Here's my layers exercise: a table with lunch ready. The book is from a magazine workshop treated to the open book script.

me, too, except for the Margaret O'Brien maroon velvet that I saw in a movie. I did a layout about that dress...

That's just me dithering to encourage the left side of my brain to get creative.

I did a nice layout of a jumping spider when we were studying Text Lessons. Behold:

He's actually the "mush" of the group. It's the ladies that are feisty!

Here is my current workspace. One reminder, go to File/Workspace and Save it in case you have a problem after customizing. You'll also notice, I don't use big thumbnails on my layers. I u sually end up with a lot and just placing my mouse over the layer palette will reveal what is on each layer.

Yes, you showed up as registered and I had not received any confirmation. That was my clue! LOL

I did the Alphabet challenge for each of my cats. I initially posted EVE for the letter E, and I just revised BRANDY and now I also created a card for ADAM to complete my set. Here are the revised Brandy and the newly created Adam.

Happy Birthday! 🍀

Sorry, I thought I did but I don't see a confirmation. I just went and registered, for sure!

I have not received the first lesson, which went over customizing the workspace. I see Bee Kelly must have gotten it but not me. Hoping I'm on the email list @Cassel

I will be attending, also. I never miss this class. I like seeing if I can help the newbies with the mysterious sandwich! 😉

Now that you mention them, I was actually thinking I should have erased them. Not usual on a blueprint...

I did a blueprint of this well-known local college. The photo is by Brian Lee. The font is Copperplate Gothic.

It started its career as a library.

Oops, guess I'll revise that to MY cats... 😉

I hate to point this out, but cats are not prone to f**ts! 😹

I tried out the blueprint technique with a local photo from Beacon, NY, of the Howland Cultural Center. It is quite spectacular in person. I'll also show the color photo.

F is for FLOWER This orchid was a supermarket buy in the spring last year. Except for a short, 2-week rest, it has bloomed continuously. A bargain at $10!
