How about pics and text in the future?

They have both in  this latest one...

This is not new but a favorite of mine about my father. I update it yearly. He worked for 40 years as Chief Dispatcher for the Erie Railroad (Now Amtrak).

Let's start with a new Wildcat Calendar for June. Here's the Ocelot, a medium size wild cat. Found mostly in Texas, Central and South America, and a few islands. They have been hunted for their beautiful fur coats and recently, females killed and kittens stolen for the sale as pets. That doesn't usually work out once the cat is full grown and they end up in shelters or worse. I'll post a full size image on our Scrapbooking with PaintShop Pro Facebook group.

thanks Ann  It's very nice of you ))))

(but google is not very good for some words LOL)

exemple : "tape" = "morceau de scotch"
                  "scratched paper" = "papier éraflé ou lacéré" but (rayé = striped)

I admit that the google translator is not really up to date .... for certain words, it was the experience of using specific words on various scraps forums that guided me to this or that word )))

Well, hopefully you can figure them out or follow Carole's graphic version she just posted. Can't wait to see what you create!

As to whether you need to be a Diamond member, I think you do. Carole Cassel has been offering a Seven Day Free Trial for $1.00, which is all  you'd need to navigate the tutorials needed for the Bingo project. Meanwhile, I'll be back shortly with your translated Bingo Board. ?

Nadine: Here is  your Bingo board in French (I hope!)

Nadine, no worries! Here is a link to the Meli-Melo tutorial and meanwhile, just tell me what language you prefer and I'll use Google Translate and post them all here.

I had this photo from a friend and decided to display it this way. She gave it the title.

I too had to sign in twice.

I've been having to re-boot the page and then things settle down. ?

I have a question about one of the items. Meli-Melo Paper. I Googled it and got various answers, from  cartoon characters to wrapping paper. I never heard of it. Is it mentioned here on Campus?

I agree. ? I made all the photo's etc. to the size needed, hid them and added  the photo's one by one and then the elements. Especially the short stitching, where to put it??

My problem was the long, thin strips. I finally added text to them and buried them at the bottom of my layout in the same color as the background.

This challenge is one of my favourite challenges, the scavenger hunt is my  number one. Some of you didn't comply with the specifications of the challenge, which is what makes it a challenge. 

Ann, you did 4 out of bounds.  I'm going to suggest a quicker way of doing it for this particular layout.  Select the background paper, contract, invert, promote to a new layer, move that layer above the photos.

Not following that suggestion, Sue, as the green paper is almost full size behind the photos and the "cork" layer. It would cover up the photos completely. I'm sure there are easier ways to achieve my result. I'll have to try it again, sometime.

WATERFALLS - Gradient background - green shiny paper - cork texture - cass-curved-photo script - BMU_Eve_Butterfly2-cutout - brad=PSBT_Songbird_Element (1) - US Park Service quote found on Facebook - font= Century Gothic. I did a lot of "out-of-bounds" to create the tucked-in effect with the photos. The shadows were tricky!

so called 'No Mow May'.  It doesn't look tidy but it's not a problem.

I fully support this effort to reclaim the wild plants for the pollinators. Tidy lawns now make me shudder.... ?

Carole - I didn't make the connection with the Scraplift Challenge. It's amazing to see the continuity between generations.

Mother finally adjusted to the cats, and they rewarded her acquiescence with abounding love. 

The fonts for this project are Cute Cat and Stay at Home, both from Creative Fabrica. 

So true, Gerry. I'm not sure of your title. I did find this meme, but the spelling is different...

Final assignment: (Just a little) Cabin in the Mountains (they said) Hah!

My first project:

Beautiful, Monique! Though it would help me out if you gave an English translation, also. ?

EDIT: Forgot to mention the stripe pattern; used the directions for making a plaid but stopped before adding a second, rotated layer. The colors are from the portion of the photo that shows on the far left.

Using the photo I displayed earlier, I toned it up and it's now the star of Wisteria Days. Title Font - Glamlips w/custom gradient,
