I recently saw something like this on Pinterest, and I wanted to try if I could make it myself, here's the result.

The font is a free font I think from creative fabrica, Bomshel Script Slant. I made 3 masks using Carole's Raster to Mask script, which is very easy and fast with the script. That way I could also place a photo above the letters and below the letters instead of a color or paper or pattern.

I used a tube for the leaves, but I don't remember where it comes from.

Love it ! thank you Carole. ?

Beautiful colors in autumn ?

 

 

 

Thank you !?

In the Lab at Experimentals, I've seen the Color Seeds images, a photo and below or next to it a color palette from the photo. I also think that's a nice way to show a photo. Would it be nice to make such a script, where at the bottom or next to the chosen photo, you can choose a number of colors with the color dropper that the palette makes under or next to the photo?

Ok, thank you for the explanation  ?

Carole, I have the script PaletteMaker. But I wonder why the color depth of the photo is reduced in the first place. The colors in the palette are no longer as bright.

Thank you Susan ! I added the effect of FF when everything whas done in PSP, photos included . When everything whas done I merged  all layers , then filterforge.com/filters/7227.html

Mary I like your layout with the aquariums and the colors of the background.

 

Anyta, Michele, Julie, Colin, Louyse, Susan what a nice results.

I've been busy in the Lab 12 Module 10.

I tried the Bat Shape, but it didn't work. I'm not that handy with the Pen tool. It's also not my thing to make elements myself.

I did try the Multi Stars Pattern. I just wasn't sure yet in which project I could use it, so I made a background with it for the time being to be able to show it here.

I've been working on the template for a while. I like that.

When it was finished, I also wanted to see what I could make of it with Filter Forge.

These are the results.

These are photos from 2005. The dog in the photo died in 2016. He got me out of depression at the time. I love my current dog Poncho, but I still miss Enzo, he was a great support to me.

Sad this news about Sandy ?

Susan, Lynda, Thank you !

MoniqueN, Prachtige kalender !

A day late, but I worked on it for several days. It's not really optimal yet, but one learns by doing

I have saved 1 copy with only the dates, lines month and year in the desired font.

 

After that I copied the mask layer of each month. Paste it as a new layer. I had to shift that a bit, but it is easy. I copied the mask layer as is, not merged. That way I can still change the photo afterwards.

 

After that I only had to adjust the background and the colors of the dates, lines and month

All the calendars are so beautiful, if I had to choose, I wouldn't know which one ?

Carole (#83663) I had a good time trying to find a different technique for the backgrounds each time

 

, and thank you for this workshop.

Monique (#83762) Thank you !

 

The last pages of my calendar. Since I'm going to use the calendar as a background for my desktop, I won't make a cover.

Mary Solaas (#83662) , thank you, Nice of you to say that about my dog. I would do all projects with pictures of my dog, but I think I'm exaggerating, so I sometimes force myself to choose a different subject.

I used to do that with pictures of my daughter when she was little, now she is 42 years old, and I have no grandchildren. So my dog has all the attention.

Carole (#83470) Thank you! and yes the theme is birds, it's not my dog for once ?

 

The continuation of my calendar.

 

All photos come from www.hdwallpapers.in

for the backgrounds I sometimes have

- made a gradient myself from the colors from the photo,

- some with a texture as Carole explained,

- some  without texture,

- sometimes it is the photo itself as background, with gausian blur and above it 1 or 2 layers of color from the photo and a blending.

- For 1 background I used a mask with a color from the photo.

 

I think I'm going to leave the pages that way because I think it's going to get too busy otherwise.

 

I will be adding birthdays from family and friends to use the calendar as a birthday calendar and desktop background.

Corrie, fijn dat alles goed verlopen is, en je thuis bent. Ik wens je een spoedig herstel. Verzorg je goed, neem je tijd, rust goed uit, en dan kan je weer volop psp'en ?
