Fun to see all of the cats. I had one like Shirley, Ann, Carole now have over the years :)

In a newsletter from Carole (april 13th) she showed a photo of her cat near the computer. My cat also likes to be in the neighbourhood, this time next to my new Cricut machine (that's why I'm a bit absent) I was designing on the computer next to him on my other desk, he next to me on the other desk., keeping an eye on what I was doing :D

Day 7

 

I used the chisel effect on the words, but didn't know if I had to add shadows?

Wow Trish!

I just had a look at all the wonderful projects in this thread. Didn't see them yet...... With every class I'm so surprised that with one template so many different projects are made. Well done everyone! :)

Can someone have to many hobbies? Yes, you can! :D

 

I had to finish another project (not PSP) before starting this template workshop, but here are the first 6:

 

The one for lesson 3 could of used more texture/patterned papers.......I didn't remember the kit I used, so left it this way.......

 

 

Marie-Claire,  #72997 are you ok now?

Iris, an early one from my garden.

I used the extra's again...........

 

This is a Dutch heritage project, the lino I made last year in the Love story challenge (now mask challenge), but could use it perfectly now. Instead of a photo, I used it as background in this psp file.

 

Doing this mask challenge I remember how much fun it was to make masks, so I probably will do more...........

Christiane #72999 I live in the Netherlands. :)

Louyse, what a wonderful bright orange lay out!

Christiane #72974, Counting the days to the start of Season 6 of Outlander, just a few days to go :)

Carole (#72927) I used by accident two masks, but it looked so nice so had to keep it! :D

The mask on this one is a very subtle one in the corners. The pic I used was a bit small, so I couldn't add more, otherwise you would see the edges of the picture.

 

I started with the background colour and searched for a pic which would fit that colour.

Carole, I'm so sorry!

 

The confusion started because of one of the 3 calenders I made I coloured the weekend on the wrong days I just discovered......oops!

I think our calenders are wrong?

 

March starts on tuesday  but on our templates on wednesday? Or do I need other glasses?

It's so scary, even though our country and Marie-Claire's isn't near Ukraine, we all are concerned this will end up in a world war.........

Finally some time to work on the masks challenge. I've been part of it last year too, (Love story) so I'm only using the extra's (Diamond) this course.

 

The church is in the village called  "Woldendorp" here in the Netherlands.

 

Holle bolle Gijs is famous in the Netherlands: Holle Bolle Gijs

 

The plaid with the church was one I had in my stash, with the colorchanger I made it suitable with the project.

 

And the bulbs in the basket are from last year, The text says Waiting for spring. The dragonfly and the flowers on the bottom are picture tubes.

I could do with  freshing up.....last year was fun to do, but if you don't use it regularly I forget how to do it.......

QP7-extra Pictures are too busy for the layout, but didn't feel like starting all over again :)

 

My husband made me a little garden "bin" on height, so if we get older we still can do some gardening.

 

And the one with the pets ifs from last year. :)

I'm cheating a bit: the first page (Elmo) I made last year.

 

The second project was torture :D

 

I didn't know what to put on the dark background, I haven't got suitable pictures myself to add. Google is sometimes your best friend and I used that pic four times with different sizes of the figure.

 

Font is Isla bella with a glowy orange edge (stroke on 5.0)

Corrie, great idea to use one pic in this QP, maybe I will do that too.

 

 

 

 

Corrie, no damage on your end? :)

 

Here some trees in the little park/forest behind are house are down, but nothing at our house luckily :)

QP5

 

I couldn't decide on a text on the QP with the stripes on it, deleted the text. Nothing seems to fit somehow. :)

Most of the time I end up with pictures of our animals or my garden, trips to gardens and museums :)

 

This time two of our pets, not alive anymore, but loved dearly :)
