Day 5 I was inspired to use this photo that my son sent me on the very day we were asked to do this lesson, he snapped it on his phone while riding his bicyle up to the village hall. The photo used for the text around a circle was from unsplash by Daniel Lincoln.

@Gerry Landreth Beautifully done.

@Susan Ewart I love the shape of your tea cup Susan and a great job on the tea pot.

Day 4 , learning more every day.

Day 3 I found this one easier to do having a shape to draw around and tweak the nodes.

'What version of PSP are you using? Starting with version 2018, there is a way to get larger nodes. Check this article. Carole everything is as large as I can possibly get it, hopefully things will improve when I get my cataracts removed .

Day 2 vector shapes struggling with seeing the nodes a lot of the time but persevering Made the tea cup with circles and ellipse I know it not great but gave it a go I'm sure I will improve in time.

Not sure where to post this hopefully someone will put it in the right place. Here is the result of my heart and arrow, it took a lot of zooming in and out to connect to the nodes but finally managed it. Gave the white wavey shape a texture and added text to fit to path, flower is from digital scapbooking Maris Lerin. The arrow I just played around with the nodes and filled the shapes with a pattern.

@Cassel Okay thanks I might give that a go

@Cassel Oh I see I wondered how they look so good, I will keep trying to make a flower that I'm happy but it might take some time.

Does anyone know how to go about making flowers like this one by Jessica Dunn? I would really like to learn to make flowers similar to hers to use on any layouts I create. Not sure where I should post this request.

@kasany Lovely work Kasany, good colour combination with your grey frames and love the stamped effect of the swans at the top of your layout.

If you click on show more the video is there.

This layout is one I have been working on in May using Affinity 2.6 the Photo is one I took a couple of years ago while out walking with my sister. The title is one of my most favourite songs by Sting which I thought captured the look of the coloured photo. Font used was Berlin Sans Fb Boots are from Freepik and I think the compass was too not sure about the boot print around the page. I have used drop shadows on almost everything.

@Ann Seeber That is lovely Ann but it's not the one I thought I saw on here. I have finished my layout now so I will put it up on the forum, thanks for your reply.

Can anyone tell me if they posted a layout with the title these boots or something similar I thought I had seen it on the forum but I haven't been able to find it again. The reason why I ask is I found a photo on my laptop which I really like and I started to do a scrapbooking layout with it, but as I was adding more layers etc I was thinking have I seen this on the forum already. I was adding boots a compass and adding footprints around the edges, Has anyone posted anything like this?

Thanks Jacques thats a nice clear jpg to read and very useful, thank you for all your hard work.

Beautifully done Susan and thank you for the detailed information on how you achieved your end result.

I would say it corresponds Jacques

lovely composition works really well together.

Love your choice of colours, photo and Papers

i have been playig with affinity again this time I have been trying to make a flower element but not sure about the results Your comments would be appreciated .

Wow that must of taken some time and effort I agree with Susan it's very impressive.

I just love the colour combinations of your layout and the birds are just beautiful, actually I love it all.
