Jannette: Here in the US we call it Miniature Golf, which still starts with M. ;-)

Here you go, Mary:

 

 

I = Ice Hockey

Thanks, Carole! Good to know...

Susan Ewart: I didn't get an email, but my PSP 2022 /Home/Upgrade gave me the details for 2023 Ultimate. I didn't see anything about "focus stacking" and I don't know what that is...

Marie-Claire: What a beautiful layout! I love the color scheme and that title with the gradient works very well. Now I'll have to try the green/lavender myself! ;-)

I received a photo of Magic, vacationing at Grandma Beth's in Colorado, so I tried out one of the cass-SportsCard templates. Here's MAGIC / COLORADO.

U = Uniforms

I just wanted to share this previous layout I did for the Mud Bog that we hold on our property. It's like a Jeep Rallye, I guess, and everyone has a great time! It's not a competition, just a lot of fun.

M = Mountain climbing

Corrie: Thank you! I'm afraid they duck when they see another layout "incoming..." ;-)

Janette: I don't use anything better than normal printer paper. My calendars are discarded after the month is done.

My great-grandson Logan, who is 2-1/2, got his first haircut (that he finally sat still enough to accomplish it!) I heard the magic trick is to keep him busy eating!  Granddaughter Ilana (Mom) and (Dad) fiancé Maverick are thrilled he's clipped and snipped in time for their wedding on Sept. 9th.

 

I used the template I made for the "Friendship" bootcamp assignment, with some edits. I'm pleased that I made most of the elements myself. The top left cluster is just shapes that I colored and added a brad from Pixelscrapper. The bottom right one is a circle shape, colored and with texture and a frame added. The scissor and lock of hair are from Pngtree. I used cass-curved photo script on the certificate. The papers came from a mega kit called Cambodia from Marisa Lerin. I had fun playing with the colors in this one!

D = Diving

Happy August! Here's a Big Cat Calendar featuring a Cougar for August 2022 that I created using photos from a calendar my daughter gave me for Christmas that was too small for my wall and a calendar template for 2022 that was provided here in the Campus last fall. Last month I uploaded a full size (8.5"x11") version in the "Files" area of our Facebook group. I print it out myself for my kitchen. Let me know if you want August and I will put this one up, also. Just click on my name under my photo here and send me a message. Enjoy!

Basic Scrap Course - Module 7. I still struggle to find the right tools in the gradient materials palette. The kit I used had a large collection of Alphas, so I used the gradient part of the lesson to create a surrounding frame for the whole page. The scallops were new for me. I'm also enthusiastic about selecting an area and promoting it to a layer. This is saving me a lot of measuring headaches! This gal is my granddaughter, the zookeeper. The zoo has a flock of Lorikeets so the children can enjoy a hands-on experience.

After logging in to Corel, I voted for all four of your entries, Sue.  They're impressive!! I think the damselfly is my favorite only because I have collected photos and jewelry with dragonfly and damselfly designs. Best of luck!

Susan: The kit is from Ionka's Designs.

I have these birds at my feeders, though they're mostly ground feeders, and I know they have a bad reputation of laying their eggs in other bird's nests and leaving the young to be fostered by any songbird whose nest is big enough. I decided to find out why this bird exhibits this behavior. Here's the story -

 

I used a kit called ID-All That's Fall which is part of a mega kit with 8 or 9 separate kits by various artists; my title font is Algerian, and the text is in Agency FB.

 

I'll be posting a larger version in Facebook where you might be able to read the text more easily though. now that I've posted it, it looks readable here, also.

Susan: Thanks for your compliments. I'm enjoying my colorful new hobby.

 

Lynda: Thank you for your kind words. These colorful little crustaceans are fascinating.

Here's my version of the D-I-Y project for July, featuring my latest aquarium denizens: Dwarf Freshwater Shrimp.

Lynda: Nice job with the D-I-Y. I don't have much in the line of flowers here. I'll have to feature birds, cats and shrimps. ;-)

 

Corrie: Very nice! That challenge is next on my agenda. You inspire me!

Doing the Basic Scrap Course, just the final two Modules as they are new. Here is Module 6- all about my maternal grandparents coming to America. The title font is Snap. I'll post the journaling too as it's hard to read in 600 format.

 

"Emil Haggquist and his wife Selma Hammär Haggquist arrived in New York from Sweden via steamship around the turn of the 20th Century. They entered the United States through this huge Immigration Hall on Ellis Island, located in New York harbor. At the height of the immigration rush it could hold 8,000 people at one time.

 

Immigration officials wouldn't deal with the unusual spelling of his last name, so, willy-nilly, my grandfather became Emil Higgins. His birth certificate stated he was from Russia, but it was actually Finland that was occupied by Russia at the time. Selma had been a widow from Sweden and brought along a daughter, Agnes, from her first marriage. Settled in New York City, they had 2 more children; my uncle Stanford and my mother, Mildred."

I just wanted to pass along a discovery I made. Carole mentioned the Basic Scrap Course is next on the agenda, and, as usual, I have done those exercises a few times. I took a look and was pleasantly surprised to find two new lessons added that were quite exciting. Ordinarily there were five lessons, but now there are seven! Here's a link to the new Module 6 of the Basic Scrap Course for everyone to explore. I'll be back with my own interpretation later.

Susan: Your DIY page is outstanding. The background photo is perfect! If you don't mind, I may use it as inspiration. Great job!
