Michelle: You're right. Solid Satin is totally fab ;-) whereas Belt Story looks unfinished. Maybe play with the background some more? I'm not thrilled with the clip-art woman either, not your usual fabulousness. *grin*

I have to show off the customized floppy bows I have created, with the help of Cassel's script. The ribbons are my own creation, either using a Lab or Creative Scrap tut or playing with the palettes of my bird plaids. I have more to go but here's a taste. Plus I also have a custom sig:

Corrie: I did the vacation challenge last year as my introduction to the Campus. It was a true challenge to post my work because I had to split each page in half to meet the 600px posting requirements. I had not planned the pages that way to start so I had to do a lot of maneuvering. Not sure if that was actually required. What did you do with the 7200 x 3600 pages? Here's an example of one of my pages from last year reduced to 600 x 300.

Posted this on the April Zoo page. I decided not to make it about my granddaughter’s workplace, Claws & Paws Wild Animal Park, in Mt. Ariel, PA where she’s a zookeeper. This is a generic zoo though the info came from her place and two of the photos. I used Carole’s Animal Print freebie alpha but I created the O’s from Q’s so they matched. The golden background paper is using the PSP pattern that came with the program. I guess Carole used it, also, as it matches the alpha. I took a block of color from the bird photo and created the ribbon and flood filled the background to create a border. The pattern I blurred and twirled to get that effect. I used the script to curve the photo top left which came from Claws & Paws. I extracted the top right bird from a Lorrie photo from the internet. The big cat prints are from Carole. The snake and the monkey are from my Safari kit. The Snow Leopard’s name is Gabe and he resides at Claws & Paws.

Here's my take on ZOO. I decided not to make it about my granddaughter's workplace, Claws & Paws Wild Animal Park, in Mt. Ariel, PA where she's a zookeeper.

Downloaded Corel's freebie for the week: a spring frame. Applied it to a photo of my granddaughter, Jackie, and her fiance, Corey, when they got engaged last year. The wedding is June 11. The full size layout was made to print out at 8"x10." Actually, I tried it with 2 different photos. Here's the 2nd one, too.

Minka, I love that giraffe layout. Well done! My granddaughter is a zookeeper at Claws 'n Paws Animal Park in Pennsylvania. I told her we were working on zoo pages and she promised lots of photos. They have a wonderfully friendly giraffe named Jethro that I visited last summer. And my great granddaughter Magic in California has the giraffe as her totem, or so her Nana told me! ;-)

Looking forward to working with double pages. I just came home from my granddaughters bridal shower and have about 25 photos to use in a layout, so maybe that will work. We'll see....

Trying my new setup with the tablet I ended up moving it over to the right and my notes on the left. As you said, it will be a "moving" experience. :-)
-
Carole/Cassel: Ah, I see the key to your setup compared to mine is your monitor appears to be raised up on some sort of platform. Also, you do have a large tablet (around 8x10) whereas mine is only 8x6. I think for that configuration to work for me I'd need a higher seat. ;-)
I'm using the stylus at the moment. I'm pretty wobbly! LOL Here's a shot with mine set like yours (wine not included!) :-D

Carole/Cassel: Thank you for the info about the tablet. I got a Wacom Intuos (8"x6") for Christmas; tried it out a bit and went back to the mouse and have avoided the tablet ever since. It's still sitting here, installed but I have yet to register it with Wacom who keeps nagging me every time I turn on my desktop. I have it on my keyboard shelf, underneath the desk and monitor. You mentioned the buttons on top. I have a hard time reaching them with the keyboard just to the left of the tablet. It just felt awkward. I guess I need to put away my mouse, as was suggested early on, and force myself to use the stylus instead. *sigh* I know in the long run it will be more accurate for many tasks in PSP. Here's a photo of my setup; the tablet is sitting on my mouse pad just for this photo. Not sure it's the best setup...

Carole/Cassel: Count me in on also needing help with my Wacom. Got it for Christmas and still haven't transitioned to using it.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my NEW computer is not up to dealing with PSP's AI and keeps freezing up. Corel says I have to upgrade to a faster Intel processor, it's not the RAM. This is what I get making all those plaid patterns. ;-) Almost every time I tried to enlarge the 1px x 500 image, PSP would freeze!

Wow, Annie! That's a GORGEOUS alpha you have created. Is there any chance I could beg a copy of the .png? Maybe you could put it up on Facebook as a file to download...

I see it's too late to edit my previous post of The One Minute Meditation but I'll post my revision here. The first one seems sloppy to me.

OK, now I'm ready with my NUMBERS CHALLENGE. The topic is Ray Bradbury's Sci/Fi novel, Farenheit 451: The Temperature at Which Books Burn, a dystopian tale of Big Brother which also became a movie. The digits are from cass-Painted Wood. The background paper is from Marisa Lerin's Tangible Hope. The bookshelf is from cass. Everything else is tubes.

Not my work; just a giggle from today's comics to start this topic off..

Carole/Cassel: Yes, I can see my post now. Thank you for your kind words.

Carole/Cassel: I just posted my work but it's not showing up and this is the only page showing for the Bootcamp.
Help!

And here's my final for Bootcamp - the "Concentration" layout. Mine is Red-Winged Blackbirds - with a quote from a Maya Angelou poem: "I Know Why the Caged Birds Sing." Just the first verse seemed to fit my blackbird. They arrived about 2 weeks ago along with some starlings, cowbirds and grackles. Noisy bunch of seed hogs! I only see a pair of starlings now; at first there were dozens.
I used a frame from Image/Picture Frame in PSP. There are a lot to choose from. The title font is Snap and the poetry is Valentina. I created a little clapboard to add to my designs with dates and details. The tutorial is in the Creative Scraps section of the Campus. The plaid is from the colors of the blackbird and the photo is by my friend, Ed Frampton.

Sue: What a delightful little bird! Thank you for the lifted photo+frame tip. I'll be playing with that and the technique to add a background border which is different from what I've done in the past. I'll have to try it! Thanks!

My Day 9 Project 4: BEE MINE. Here's Sonya again; last time she was on a ride, this time she's posin' ;-)
Something new I tried; the center photo is lifted up using the tutorial in Creative Scrap.
Edit: I made some revisions. I wasn't happy with the total look of the page. I think this is an improvement.

Just to set the record straight, the layouts I posted are from last year. Still have to do my new one.. But thanks for the compliments!
