Jannette, so sorry to hear your sad news about your husband, I hope you can take strength from those around you.

Hi Rene I had the same problems when using psp2023 when I was doing my Christmas cards I had done a lot of work and got down to the final layer of writing the text and it shut down I lost everything and had to start from scratch, as I hadn't saved any work,. I had only just started using 2023 and wasn't expecting it to shut down like that, it has never happened with my X5 Ultimate.

Thought I would try doing my text wrapping inside a star again using Ariel font this was the result and no shut down

MAGIC WAND I thought I would play around with psp2023 so I tried wrapping text inside a shape I used a 600x600 page to start the project and I used a six pointed star with a line stroke of 3 no fill, then I selected inside the shape with the magic wand Select Modify Contract by 35 to give a large padding. I started to write inside the selected area using font sparkle stroke 10 after writing a few words the programme shut down completley, I tried doing it again in the exact same way and it shut down again. I have the version 25.2.0..58. I know I have heard it can happen depending on the font you use.

Emty Clipboard is in the drop down menu when you click on Edit.

Your work is beautiful, I love your colour combinations on all 3, the papers, photos, embellishments pair beautiully whith eah one if I had to choose a favourite it would be the third one.

Finally got lesson 7 finished I used papers from DCS Artsy mars24 and elements from vecteezy. Used my own photos , added a stich tube around the letters I was going to use the rope but couldn't get it to work in 2023 had one of those glitches and had to shut it down ended up redoing it in x5. Tango and tara stayed with us 4 days out of 7 as my son and his wife both worked,we loved having them stay.

Day 6 I used the font Segoe UI Black for the title and Sego variable text light for the writing at the bottom, trying to incorporate what I have learned from the previous 5 days. The brick castle is a shape I added a colour and a brick texture to it and gave it a dropped shadow. The photo was taken on a lovely sunny but windy day in September 2023. The sign was also a photo I took which gave information about this particular part of Hadrians Wall.

Day 5, text Place Star photo of starling I took last year, had fun doing this one I have never used this technique with text before.

Day 4.

Day 3 wrap around text, think I might of missed out using the wrap around text,

My first atempt at a layout .did the backgrounds using different textures and effects added a photo a frame, tube, drop shadows,finished with the day 2 text/

This is a birthday card I made for my son some years ago I substituted the Happy Birthday gold peel offs with the text tutorial for day 1. The font I used was Workforce,

I'm in, will give it a try.
