Thank you, Rene and Cristina, 🙂 So easy when you know the trick!

I started using more grouping layers last year, and if I remember correctly, it was because of one of your comments. Before, it was only with masks (Clip to It).

I also color code the layers, and I have a color for when it's something I created, something from Carole's, or something from kits... The vectors are always white...

I don't remember when I started doing this, but the colors were chosen over the years... My old layouts have all sorts of colors!

Hi Cristina: Can you explain how to "color-code" a layer? I can't find any way to do it. Thanks!

Happy April. Here is my monthly Wild Cat Calendar for April 2024. I used the cass-open-book script for the top and a calendar from Gina Jones. The Snow Leopard photo was taken by my granddaughter, Jackie Thorpe, at her Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park in Mt. Ariel, PA. The title font is Fredericka the Great, and the text font is Agency. The background gradient is labeled "Bondi." The "Say No" brad is mine. I will also post this on our Facebook page full size for anyone who would like to print it out at 8.5" x 11" which is what I do. 

I made this last year when I had Siamese Fighting Fish (Bettas). Wishing all a Happy Easter.

  Ann I did it and emailed this year you didnt have to help me,    I Love You all.   

Good going, Cindy! Happy Easter 🐰🌷

All done and sent! Interesting articles I had not seen before. Thanks, Carole and Happy Easter! 🐰

I looked in the Blog heading at the top of this page but can't find any eggs. Am I looking in the right place?

Finishing up March with Week Thirteen - photo by William Panuska of The Hudson Valley in Pictures gallery. This is called "early sail downriver." The copper hues really grabbed me.

New to me; I had to look it up.

I bumped into this layout that I created last year when we were studying in a Text Workshop. I'd like to do that class again, as a refresher. 

We've had flood watches and high wind alerts.  The cat cabin on my porch ended up out in the street. Luckily, no cats were involved. My little condo enclave here has been relatively lucky with the underground wiring keeping the power on and we're not near enough water to be impacted by the flooding shown in this photo from the newspaper. The watchword is "Turn around - Don't drown!" Some idiots insist on trying to drive through high water with deadly results.

Objects may be closer than they appear...

DAY 9 PROJECT 4 

I have kept the same colour scheme for continuity as it is the puppies journey to their forever homes . Papers and graphics are Nit wits Pawsitivity and Gina Jones Fido.

Not sure about the Rice Pudding reference. Do they eat it?

Concentration made me think of terrible things from years gone.  Today's world conflicts do not help.  Items are from Bing except paper from jessica-dunn. Font is Arial Narrow.

Never forget!

Day 11 Project 5

Travelling along the lakeside highway from Queenstown, we chanced upon this scene.

Sheep were being moved from one area of the farm to another. This happens often in country areas.

This is so nice. I love the "O" sheep and leaving the windshield wipers in the photo is a great touch!

Final Bootcamp project - featuring one of my new great-grandsons. He'll explain...

Fonts used are Cooper Black and Century Gothic - old standbys...

All elements are mine from my own kit...

Here is my Week Eleven - I count Sundays so I'm a little behind here. The font is Cardigan Script. This is just a quote about Time. Sue Ewart is the expert on that topic; she will have a Mega Kit for it by the end! 😁

A combination of another photo from the Heemtuin with the split frame technique that Carole demonstrated in the Q&A from las Sunday. This is my first try of it and although it isn't perfect yet I wanted to show what I'm doing. I will practice a bit more, it is a bit different from the masks I normally do, at least I had fun making this.

Gorgeous, Corrie! I must go look at the video for the Q & A as I forget all the steps and this effect is really stunning!

Over the hump: page four of my seven stocks project. On peanut butter. Any fans here? Supplies myself, fonts again Pacifico on title and Lato on body.

 

By now I think I need an extra double page spread before the initial page one on canned tuna and move the first part of the text on page one to that preceding page...( questions...) project.

 

Bina, your pages are very handsome. What are you using for your AI generator?

Project 4 Day 9

Well, that is something new I learned today, making that pinking shears effect, thank you, Carole.

A few years ago, I was at an afternoon tea at Ohinetahi in Governors Bay, near Christchurch.

I arrived home with several pictures of honey bees I'd seen hovering around the flower beds.

I decided to use them in this layout.

Supplies used were from Jessica Dunn, Rachel Martin, Marisa Lerin, and Violet Irisovna.

I see you used a loopy stitching element to show the bee's flight path. What a good idea! Thank you!!

Scrap Bootcamp-Day 9-Project #4. I rotated the photos as I had horizontal ones from my daughter's ski vacation in Colorado last week. Aaron and Deb were visiting her daughter-in-law, Lucy's parents; Magic & Raja's other grandparents. The background is also her photo. The title fonts are Belisha and Birdy. The troll, gem scatters and skis are from my Iceland mega kit.

The folder I  downloaded didn't  include the psp file either. I couldn't work out how to use the jpeg either.  What a relief, as I  thought I  was having a mental block. Especially after seeing what Ann and Corrie had posted.  

Sue, I had the same problem but I went ahead with the jpg file and converted it to a template. I also rotated the photo area, which ended  up screwing up my shadows but I didn't realize that until later. It was tricky converting Carole's shadows which created the "slipped in" effect but I did it (even if it turned out sideways! 😉 ) I did download the psp file later but had already done so much work that I was unwilling to start all over again!
