Wow! That's really eye-catching, Anne. Nice blending job. To me it looks sort of Victorian.

Hi Mirelle, The file is called: ps_jessica-dunn_279398_naturally-curious-nature-paper_pu.jpg - It made me think of Spring, which is a good thing right now. ?

Well, it looks like you're the only one who is actually EATING the lunch. Good job! ?

Welcome, Suanne. I hope you have fun with this!

Welcome, Leslie. I expect we'll have fun in this class.

Mostly from Google Image searches. The main one was the tomato slice. The others you provided, though I did doctor up the bread using Effects/Texture/Texture + Add noise and colored it using Adjust/Hue and Saturation

I love to decorate a table. As you can see, I've done this before a few times. The tablecloth is a paper by Jessica Dunn of Pixelscrappers. I like to keep my pickles separate from my sandwich, unless it's a hamburger.

I'm really happy with my creation for the DIY Challenge so I thought I"d post it in here too, so more could see it. It's my grandson, Will, and his wife and daughter, Magic, on the Mendocino headlands. My daughter, Debbie, took the photos. Aside from the ones with my family, the background is a composite of 2 photos taken at the time of the flowers on the headlands and one of the cliffs and the sea. Scallops were used liberally. ?

I ended up quite pleased with this, though it was a struggle at first. This is my grandson, Will, and his family in California, on the Mendocino headlands. Luckily, no rivers to flood with the deluges they are having right now. All 5 photos were just taken by my daughter, Debbie. I combined two of the small rectangles to accommodate the journal card on the lower right from Elif Sahin at digitalscrappbooking.com, adding circles and some flowers clipped from the large photo. I took the scallops and did a clip-to-it with the flower photo and then used the torn edge technique on the scallops. Maybe I went overboard with scallops because I continued and created the white framing with them on the photos, also! I tucked a little beach grass behind, so the photos look like they're waving in the sea breeze. I have to complement everyone's work. You all inspired me!!

Wow, nice, Bonnie! Looks like great fun. The touch of red really makes it POP!

I've been a member of The Campus for over 2 years but I decided to try something new with my PSP setup. I activated the Navigation on the Manage tab in order to create thumbnails and then switched to the Edit tab and added the Organizer palette for the first time and voila, the thumbnails appeared as if by magic! It seems I'm forever hunting for the photos or elements I need so now I can gather them all in a Tray, which is also new to me. Here's my setup:

Just a question for Cassel: On the introduction to Bootcamp email today it says: "Post the question in the forum or, if you are shy, click on the NEED HELP tab on the right side of most pages to send me a direct email" The NEED HELP tab would be useful here, but it's gone. How do newcomers reach you now if they need help? ?

Mary, my husband and I both had fathers who were railroad men so trains run in the family. I'm really enjoying your documenting your trip and this one really strikes my fancy. Well done to effectively showcase so many photos at once.

Helen, I had a friend who made these. I still have a Humpty Dumpty Santa Claus! Charming ?

Fiona: here's a screenshot of the picture tube settings. As you can see, on the far right there's a checkbox to choose separate layers for each application.

There are no silly questions; all questions are just for acquiring or memory-jogging, in my case! LOL

Hi Helen, I save a template as a .papimage so it preserves the layers. Is that what you were asking about? When I acquire a template, I always copy it using Shift/D so it preserves the original. I give it a new name when saving it as a .pspimage.

Michele: Thanks for showing all the "ingredients" in your creation. Amazing job!

One of my favorite venues, Fiona. I'm a big fan of the tv series and films of Downton Abbey and this is where it (mostly) was filmed. Looks like great fun!

I started playing with the Sketch Challenge by making it into a template. Then I recalled Suzy talking about flowery papers, and I happened to be on Digitalscrapbooking.com for my 5 daily freebies so I downloaded floral papers. Then we had the Master Class in Borders, and I wanted to try the Torn Edge technique. Putting that all together, here is A Dream of Spring. The font is Hobo and I used the cass-curved photo and clip-to-it scripts.

Since I already did a Year in Review, I took the new template and used it for a layout of my daughter, Laurey and her friend, Kim, when they visited the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience in nearby Westchester County, NY, this past week. I used part of one of the photos as a background. The whole thing is very simple, but the photos speak for themselves!
