Whew!  I watch too much giant-insect-eating-people movies.  Geez, I'd hate to see how they harvest them.  The package said mealworms so I thought they were worms.  Either way, they look creepy and smell weird too.  The things we do for birds/squirrels eh?

I just deleted my image and replaced it with one that I added new art for the "grapes" in the lower right corner. Wasn't happy with the watercolor grape art.

yukky dried mealworms

they are not actually worms, they are dried insect casings and not likely to "come alive" LOL

Just to say hi to everyone. Thanks for accepting me in the group. 

Hi Isabel, Welcome! ?

One of the reasons I keep taking this class is I love to play with the tablescape. This time I added a piece from the Double Page workshop last month as I like to read with my lunch!

Cassel has fixed that link its all working good now,  I got sent to Jan to

Well, at least I wasn't alone, Cindy! ?

Very very odd. It is the correct link on my copy of the email and even if I go in the email builder directly, it is the correct link too.

Well, since I was late signing up, perhaps mine went out separately, whereas the rest were in a group? I don't know the mechanics involved with member's emails. Whatever, I hope the other people on this course are finding this page ok.

That is strange. It works fine for me. Hum...

Here's the LINK from my email.

I've illustrated my setup with a little infographic. You'll find there's a Master Class for that, too, though mine here is not the same style. I just clipped a copy of my workspace using MS Office One Note. 

Cassel - I couldn't use the link to this Forum in today's email. It went back to January, 2023.

I'll possibly be using this photo on one of my layouts. The wisteria is blooming at my daughter's farm in Mendocino.

Hai, Jannette here.

I knock on this door to inform you about my absence. Sinds begin in January I had pc trouble. It seemed my Windows password was out of date, indeed it was one from the start of Windows. Another era, another requirement in those days. I have changed a lot of passwords from Microsoft etc. but the windows must have slipped my mind. It was horrible, I couldn't place anything. I saw some of what you made but not even a mark from my side was possible. And even mail from Cassel came in but I couldn't respond to the clicks. Since I fixed that passwords slowly get back to normal Internet traffic. Not everything was down, and my Campus password was recently renewed. So I did not understand at all. I hope now I have them all renewed. I also got warnings that this site possibly is not a safe one. I had to give permission to enter with an extra warning.

I discovered too late that there is here a place to introduce myself.  so I do now. I'm Jannette Nieuwboer. The last name is translated: Newfarmer. Nieuw is nearby pronounced as the English 'new', and Boer: the b and r are the same as the English but the OE: is pronounced as the "U" in the word 'TOO',  I do not hope this puzzle is too difficult.  I'm in my 74th year. I live alone, my husband is suffering from Louis's Body Dimension and lives in a care home. I visit him every day so do not have as much time for PSP as I want. In the past iv done a lot of PSP. I work in the 2020 edition as I'm fond of plugins. For now, I will keep this edition. I have a metabolic disorder myself. I get some meds for it but also have to keep a diet. And have to cook everything myself, even baking bread. I eat 85 - 90 % vegan. (I eat eggs, yogurts, and butter. To get my daily portion of protein I eat a lot of lentils and chickpeas too. I v learned to cook them tasty for example chickpeas muffins. lentil pancakes, and lentil pizzas, and from both burgers. 

See you on campus. 

 

 

Good to see you back here , Jannette. I think you'll enjoy the new Campus format. We chat more than we did before. Welcome!

Here is the layout. I had to start from zero, as I got the message "Unable to open file" as I was almost finishing it in PSP 2023... I think it has to do with the text tool, but not sure...So I recreated it in PSP 2019 just to be sure.

Jimmy Stewart as Glenn Miller and June Alyson

Yes, I saw that movie in 1954 when I was in 8th grade. Here's the link; there's even a streaming option. 

Finally finishing up the April Double-Page Challenge #6. Here is Shadow, one of the star black leopards at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, MN. She's quite a gal! I used the Vector Tube script on the title and the font is Ravie. The journaling font is Kleymissky. The background is my own Shiny Paper and the stars are from my Rustic Kit. The paperclip is from Marisa Lerin and I used the Open Book script with a gradient cover.

Wow, that's beautiful, Susan. So sorry for your loss. ?

Cool font Bonnie, I looked it up and saw it was a Microsoft office font and to my delight I have it too.  

Susan, I'm so glad you said that. I was looking among my "other" fonts for it, initially. Since Bonnie said it was pricey I sort of gave up. It turns out I have it, too, with my Microsoft Office. ?

The animal kingdom celebrates Mother's Day, too! Out my patio door I saw what looked like the back end of a gray squirrel with two tails. She appeared to be burrowing under my concrete patio. I opened the slider and tossed out a few peanuts in the shell. She popped out with her baby! So sweet!  ? The title font is Oswald Stencil. The tree is a stamp.

I'm pretty sure I have this font but I have no idea how to search for it. Does anyone happen to know what font it is. I realize we are not a font group and I promise not to make this a habit. 

Yes, it is Jokerman. I looked it up on Google Images.

I don’t want to come across as being critical, but even with my good eyesight I had to look hard at the  month, which looks as if it’s  embossed on the bear.  I also have a question about your framing, was it a pre-made frame, or possibly an extracted frame, as it looks like you have a double frame visible on the left side, and one solid frame on the other 3 sides. The top of the frame isn’t as bevelled as the other sides either. The frame isn't consistent on all four sides.  Carole has masterclasses on basic framing, if you are having problems creating frames.  Using the rectangle tool, I can create a single frame like that in literally 5 steps, that includes the sculpture tool as well.  I’m curious to know how you did the frame. It stood out to me, which distracted my eye from the the main focus, and that is the photo on the page.  

The frame was part of the template. Then I applied an inner bevel. I liked the effect.

My granddaughter did a "photo shoot" when she was pregnant with Logan back in 2021. I only recently got this striking black and white so had to use it! The title font is Droid from the newest Lab. The background is shiny silver from Sheila. The splatter paint is from my own kit as is the star. I embedded the bear top right and used the sculpture texture effect on the frame.
