Day 3. I used a kit by CPJess spring mini. The font is comic sans.

I use Font Runner and it works good with Affinity. I have my fonts in different categories so I just have to be sure the right category is showing in Font Runner and then it shows up in Affinity. It's the only one I have used so I don't know how it compares to other font viewers.

I never thought of that! Thanks for the idea!

Picking papers is really hard for me too!! Bella is beautiful!

Skooter had faint stripes but was mostly orange. It's interesting to see how different the kittens are for feral cats.

Day 2. My papers are from Creative Fabrica and Digital Scrapbooking. The fonts are Ravie and Arial.

I'm using Affinity for these tutorials. The papers are all from Creative Fabrica and the font is Comic Sans (seems appropriate for kittens). This pic was from 2009 and Camo was the best momma cat!!

Here is my last page. I have to say, I don't care for coffee or plantains, but the tour was very interesting! This has been a fun workshop and even tho I have had Affinity for a few years, I learned some new ways to use it! Thank You Cassel for doing this workshop!

I went and looked at this, I have updated to 2.6 also. I tried the process and noticed in 2.6 when I added the recolor layer, it automatically grouped the text and the recolor layer. Then when you add the mask, it is putting the mask layer above the group. You have to drag the mask down to the recolor layer for this to work. Give it a try and see if that works for you.

Day 6, pg 7. So hard to choose photos for this project, I have way too many!

Day 5 using Affinity. The trip up to the valcano was quite a walk! It was beautiful and so different from anything you see where I live in Michigan!

Here are pg 4 and 5. There are so many more pictures I took, it was hard to choose. We were also part of a tour so we didn't get to spend as much time there as we would have liked to.

Here is my pg 3 changed to have the two colors for text.

Day 3 We explored the hotel grounds and this is one of the things we found.

I am using Affinity for my magazine, here is day 2.

Hi Everyone, my magazine is about a trip to Costa Rica in 2010. It was a trip for work but I did get to do some sight seeing there. Hubby also got to go there for a weekend so it was a fun trip too.

I have used Affinity since 2017 but not for anything like this. I mainly use Designer because I wanted to make my own elements. I learned how to do vector in PSP, but it is much easier (I think) in Designer. I have used Photo for many things but nothing like Scrap booking. I learned many new things because of this. Many thanks to Carole for having this workshop and I will be in the next one too! It was also fun meeting new people here!

I ran into a wall trying to do this one, so it took me awhile. I finally got some inspiration and got it done! The papers are all from Design Bundles, except for the rectangle the writing is on. That is from an old PSP Scrapers Dozen I did back around 2012! The berries in the corner and pine needles are from Jessica Dunn. The photo is mine. The frame is from Marisa Lerin.

Rene in Affinity, it you go to Help in the menu across the top, search for Frame Text Tool. Maybe that is what you are looking for? It's been awhile since I used PSP so I don't remember how it works there.

Project 4, I used one of the kits Carole suggested from True Heart Digitals. I also had issues with the eraser brush, but I finally got it to work. I went with a scallop edge, I thought it fit the theme better. I know it was mentioned to use masks instead. I find that one of the hardest things to do and I don't know why. I would love to learn how to do that so it works!

Saving is important! Affinity doesn't boot you out often, but it only takes one time to waste hours of work! I tend to save my work as soon as I start the project. Also, Bo is so cute!

Here is Project #3. All the papers and Glitter came from Creative Fabrica and Design Bundles. The heart scatters are from Sheila Reid. The heart balloons I made in Affinity Designer.
