I updated January and February with a background color and chose an Afrofuturistic font = Wakanda. I also applied those effects to April and May.

@Cassel Your email lesson 2 says: "A calendar needs to indicate what month is on which page. There is no "month/title" on the pages and since any page can be used for any month, the possibilities are endless for you. And if you want to use one of those fancy fonts, I'll show you how you can do it." Now I watched the video, and it deals with the background color but nothing about fonts. Meanwhile, the templates do have months spelled out. I'm confused...??

Here are my preliminary Jan and Feb pages. Waiting for the next lesson to proceed further. The topic is Wildlife of Botswana, where, in previous years, I had documented a fantasy vacation to Africa for a Travel Workshop, based on my admiration for the book series, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.

Barbara, honest, it is ok. That worked like it should. The "overlay" is the mask. Nothing went wrong and you have no "user error" at all.

Monique, are you doing "Outlander?"

Another Out of Bounds creation featuring photos from the local area Facebook picture gallery. The frame is cass-painted-frame colorized.

Decided to play with Cassel's Echo Text Mask-Family Sampler. I played with various group photos, but this seemed to work the best. This is a great portrait of my granddaughter and her husband from earlier this year. It turned out like a Word Art comp. The font for the title and side info is Ravie. Now I'll acquire the script so I can customize it.

I've been having fun playing with this Out of Bounds. The photo is a local lake but the rest is from Pixabay. I experimented with the ripple effect. I'm happy with my creation!

Sounds wonderful!

Well, here's another unfamiliar phrase, though I've seen you use it before. My own take on "chuff" is the sound an adult tiger makes in greeting! LOL But here's the explanation for your use of "chuffed" - "It means ‘pleased’ but there are various different levels of chuftness: Chuffed - standard level, mildly pleased Highly chuffed - more than just chuffed Well chuffed - satisfied as well as pleased Chuffed to bits - thrilled Seriously chuffed - said by usually men who don’t want to admit how chuffed they really are. Dead chuffed - The ultimate in chuftness ie You couldn’t be more chuffed."

Sue, that part of the shadow (on the table) looks realistic but not the shadowing on the glass of the phone. When I first saw it, something didn't seem right to me and that's when I suggested the shadowing was off somehow.

Sue, I tried laying a small object on the face of my cellphone and all I see is a reflection, but no shadow.

I think this method is far and away more striking. I'd do it.

Laurie: When I check the box for shadows to be on a separate layer, they automatically are linked. You have to unlink them to move the shadow separately, either with the pick tool or the warp brush.

My latest entry in the Basic Scrap Course: Module 4: Pumpkin Pickin'. Two of my 5 great-grands, brothers Jonah (born 6/20/23) and Logan (born 2/6/21) having fun in the pumpkin patch. They live in Pike County, PA. The Alpha is from Treed-Have A Nice Day.

My latest entry in the Basic Scrap Course: Module 3. Photos by my daughter, Debbie, from last month when she was visiting for her High Point Regional High School Reunion. The fall colors seemed muted this year. Not as many reds, so perhaps no maple trees. The materials are: Background paper-ID_All That's Fall; Title font: Souvenir; Text font: Agency; Cluster Group: ID_All That's Fall and ps_Jessica Dunn_harvest pie string. Making the cluster a group worked well as I could add shadows within the group while also being able to move the whole cluster around intact.

Hi Emerald. I have the standard Microsoft Windows fonts and then I have others. I got a font handler program called NEXUSFONT and I have all of them organized into two groups. Nexus is on my Win10 taskbar at all times because many times PSP will announce it's missing a font but if Nexus is open, then all is good.

I wish I had photos to prove it, but the local Burger King did the same thing. They built a brand-new store next door to the old and tore down the old for parking.

Are you totally done with your Travel project? That was a big undertaking!

I misspoke. I should have said Season 3 is coming soon. It will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video. And I still can't wait!! 🤩 I read on the group FB page that someone met them in person and was surprised that David is very sweet and Michael is the macho one. LOL

I'm seeing this word on popular media a lot lately as it is used for the characters in Neil Gaiman's Good Omens. The Ineffables are an angel, Aziraphale, and a demon, Crowley, played by Michael Sheen and David Tennant. They are charming and hilarious. Season 2 of the show is coming shortly. I can't wait!
