Michelle: I understand but I didn't expect it to read my mind! I just opened my Pick tool and moved them where I wanted. The fact that I had 21 photos to place would be daunting if I didn't have the script to help.

Jnet, what a nice layout! I've been to LA but never found the stars in the pavement. I wish I could read the wording on your right hand page but unless it's text my browser can't translate it since it's in a graphic. Is that the star for Celine Deon? I can't quite make it out from here... ;-)

Michelle, I used the scatter script on my Lesson 4 for the first time. It gives you the option to put the pictures on the edges, or in the middle or totally scattered. I'll post my layout again here so you can see the effect I got.

Here's my Day 4 assignment. I used the cass-scatter photos script and then went from there. No room for embellishments. This place is just 6 miles down the road from Warwick Drive-In. It used to be called Action Park and was considered the most dangerous amusement park ever created. We locals called it Death Valley. They've cleaned up their act now; I assume.

Gerry: My, Rudy is handsome in his Phantom of the Opera mask! Your layout works perfectly. Well done!
-
Barbara: Those two layouts are really nice! Informative and charming. Well done!

This is the Day 3 project, so I've finally caught up! I've showcased my "day job" - the Warwick Drive-In Theater, owned by my daughter Beth. She's the grandmother of baby Sonya that you've seen on the Campus.
The posters and map are from Google who provided them for marketing purposes. This is a full 7200 x 3600 layout. I'm grateful that PSP2021 does such a great job of enlarging photos!

My Day 2 Double page. The photo is by my grandson Will Lennox. You can see the village far in the background out on the point. The headline font is Childish. A very simple layout with a couple of beachy embellishments. The photo speaks for itself.
Mendocino was once the stand-in for Jessica Fletcher's New England village on the tv show "Murder She Wrote." The director had problems with the sun going down on the "wrong" side and when he flipped the film to have it as a rising sun he ended up with some seabirds flying backwards! ;-)

Michele: regarding random photos, Cassel/Carole has a script for that. Here's the read me text:
PSP Script - Scattered Photosby CasselThis script will use all the jpg images in a single folder to scatter them onto the open image.You will only have to open one image from the source folder for the script to determine where to grab the photos.You can resize ONE photo and the script will resize all the photos to a similar size.The script will offer the option to add a border. If you choose to add one, set the values for ONE photo and the script will apply it to all of them.You can have the photos scattered all over the image, only in the center, or only on the outer edge.You can start with any size of shape image, and the script will determine if the resizing of the individual photos will yield a good result.Once all the photos are added, you can add a drop shadow to them.Each photo will be left unmerged so you can rearrange them if you want.I couldn't find it in the store but it is on my PSP filed in Trusted Scripts.

I was really struggling with the pen tool yesterday and finally gave up and decided against needing straight lines. The pen seems a complicated tool with various uses and I know very little about it. I think I actually had a class back 20 years ago in Adobe Illustrator that covered it but without frequent use I've lost the techniques. I'm enjoying the Double Take with the mask creation repeated over and over. Maybe I'll make a point of doing one once a week from now on so I retain the steps.
A new project every day now seems too fast, whereas I complained about the slowness of the Basic Study Group. There must be a happy medium!?! Then, again, now I'm actually working part time from home so my time is limited. This happens from March to October for me with the drive-in theater. I'll upload a sample of my work product.
Thanks, Carole!

Ok, my turn. I finally did the first assignment. Don't have as much time nowadays with the theater open. Here's my granddaughter Jackie's bridal shower from early April. I have a lot of photos so didn't do much with the second page at all except for a floppy bow. I used a bit of lace this time, unusual for me but that's my Jackie. *love*
If you peek hard at the 2nd page in the middle you'll glimpse the bridegroom who arrived at the end with an enormous bouquet of flowers for his honey. :-)

Oh, wow, Michelle. Your designs are such fun. I was unaware of templates within PSP. Are they free or for sale?
-
I went looking for songs with the topic “walk” and found an oldie by The Beatles that I had never heard before. I had a template in my stash from who knows where and since this song only seemed to have a music video, I took screen shots and put them in the film strips on the template. The black and white photo was the first part of the video. I worked on the title The Walk, it was a rather messy job by someone but I did copy their little blurb that went with the song. Found The Beatles logo on Google, used Cassel’s script for the curved photo, added sprocket holes on the film strips after changing it to black. The background is just a pattern from my PSP. I like to keep my designs simple, especially one that has all the elements like this. The trickiest part was getting the video images going in order and facing the right direction!
-
Wow, all these designs are great! I just got my Creation Cassel this morning (Sun). How do you get it earlier? I was working on my April Song - Walk: Beatles design all day. My artist daughter thought it should be an album cover! :-)

An afterthought: here's the link to the video

Here's Sonya. I hear she's standing and starting to toddle. Time to baby-proof the house! :-)
This layout is based on one I did with a mask for a sleeping Magic but I created a new kaleidoscope background pattern based on Sonya's photo and added her elephant.
-
Sandra: Nice job! Very attractive layout. I think I'd leave the greenery the way it is.
-
I'm back to playing with masks, and using kaleidoscope to make background patterns from photos. Logan, born 2/6, is starting to smile and giggle. I just revised one I did for Magic but with new background and details. The bear is his protector ever since his gender reveal party. ;-)
Here's the design plus the background pattern.

Lynda, that's beautiful! I'm a bit hazy on what the original components of the design looked like. Can you show a before and after?
-
Mary: Your choice of You'll Never Walk Alone from R&H Carousel brings back wonderful memories for me. I was a pre-teen and went to see the film SEVEN times in a row! I was enthralled with Julie and Billy. And of course, Spring is Bustin' Out All Over! LOL Wish I had thought of doing it myself for this challenge but I have another in mind, also, after doing These Boots. Thank you, Carole! This challenge is inspired!
-
Minka: Nancy's boots are found art. I didn't do it! Here's the original..
-
Minka: your story brought happy tears.. Thank you.
-
Minka-That is an OUTSTANDING layout! I should have waited as it inspires me to emulate you! Did you curl the paper? I love the title design. Johnny had such a distinctive voice and I'm always a sucker for a bass/baritone! LOL

Been working all day on the April Song Challenge-Walk. Here’s These Boots Are Made For Walking and all the various artists that followed on the heels of Nancy Sinatra who made it famous first. The interesting one was the thrash metal group Megadeath who put it in an album in the ’80s and got censured by YouTube for rude lyrics! ;-) Those are the lyrics that are on my layout. I used Cassel’s music background in sepia, a border background created from the Megadeath art, a few musical notes in Picture Tubes and the rest is all found art on Google which I curved using Cassel's script.
