Absolutely, Rene. It's why I left it to the "experts" and, now that our business has a professionally done site I'm much happier.

I combined Carole's flowery spring frame with the flora font, added my great-grand Magic with a little linoleum as a background and two corner brushes and came up with this. I sort of thought the font would look a little puffy on its own but mine didn't so I helped it along with one of our title lessons from March.

Back in the day when I was learning to make webpages I acquired Note Tab Plus as an alternative to the Windows Notepad. Note Tab numbers the lines so you can find your place in the code. It also has little scripts of its own to automate repetitive tasks which made things easier. I still use Note Tab. It's a Swiss product and I always had the free version. I don't code any more. Left it behind when I transitioned to Dreamweaver for webpages. Honestly don't miss it. Not my favorite thing.

Wow, Michele! That looks great! Very nice, indeed.

Yes, it seems the translation for nasenbaer is coati.

Very nice, Anja. Would you happen to have an English translation as that animal is unfamiliar to me. Thanks!

PSP had many already installed. How am I supposed to know the size?

Figured it out - decided on folded hearts and a bow. 3 buttons and a frame round out the requirements. Here's my daughter, Laurey, top left; granddaughters, Ilana & Jackie, bottom right. All the decor is from my stash; frame from PSP frame. Edit: I forgot to mention the background is a PSP gradient called Nature Glow and I added some noise for texture.

I'm not sure what a "folded element" would be...

I downloaded a Corel freebie last week called Spring Collage. I didn't have the font it called for so I used Before the Rainbow, which was similar. Here's my great-grand Sonya with her mother, Alycia. We don't see Alycia that much as she's often unwell.

I did Mary, look at it now...

I finally came up with a sixth layout but it's not the style of that assignment. I used the scattered photos script, the open book script and the title style from last month's title workshop #1. Not real happy with the title but it'll do. The photos are from my daughter in California of her flowering trees in the midst of the redwoods so I went to Pixabay and found a shot of the Redwood National Forest as a background which I treated to a Multiply over a white background and that removed all the color. I liked the effect as the flowering tree photos were more visible. The title font is Cooper Black with Vector Tube effect with rope.

Thanks, Rene. It was the Yin_template 501.psd that I used for the scattered photos for Lesson 4 of the Double Page Workshop. I think two of the photo areas refused to process with the raster-to-mask script so I did them by hand. The script saved a lot of time considering there were 19 photos all told.

It is my favorite, also, and I use it all the time, though I think I've encountered a glitch when working on a template that started as a PSD. One of the photo areas would not turn to a mask and went all white.?? I ended up doing the mask by hand (had to drag out my written instructions...the script has got me spoiled!)

W = WABBITS! (Like I taut I taw some wabbits!) ???

Inquiring minds want to know what KIND of "flyers" are you "ejecting"? Are they alive or dead? ?

That's really all the same fish. ?

Yes, the cover color is a choice at the end. I liked how the red picked up the pagoda color. ? I got in the habit of using gradients, mostly. And, I experimented with half-sized sheets (3600x1800) and they worked just fine using category #1. I'm also learning the hard way not to crop too close at the bottom or I lose some shadowing.

I tried it out on almost all of my double page lessons. I had layouts that were 7200 wide and had to split them but soon realized I also had to SAVE the new half-versions or the script would fail. I managed to Open Book 4 of the 6 lessons. #5 was not doable because the title would split. Here's #3 which I wasn't sure about because it wasn't designed for two halves but it looks fine to me...
