Day 5

 

The recipe is n Dutch ;)

 

One of my children chose this for his birthday dinner, it was one of his favourite dishes :)

Dance dance dance :)

 

My day 4 project...........The joy part is a bit to bright I think, but that's ok for now :)

 

You will have to keep practicing that's for sure, there was a drop shadow help so you could set the settings to lot of the embelishments, but have to look what that was ;)

I forgot I had to put a title in the project, so this one is without title :)

 

Winter in the Netherlands :)

 

 

OMG Sandra, that's a lot of kits! :)

 

I'm just starting (again) with PSP scrapbooking and are already struggling how to sort them, can imagine you deleted a lot. :)

Finally, #2 is ready.

 

It took me sometime to discover I had remove instead of replace active in the magic wand option, that's why it didn't work at first. :) But here it is! :)

 

And looking for a scrapkit that suitable for what you would like to make is time consuming, so many on the internet :) :)

 

 

 

I was just wondering: if you collect a lot of scrapkits, what's a good way to keep track of what you have?

 

A-Z, sort by color or name or something else?

 

 

 

 

Day 1 :)

First of all I would like to say what beautiful creations are made by you all :)

 

I'm late this time, working on project #1.......

 

I was wondering why I still see the creepy crawlers after cutting a part of the selection? (see attached picture)

 

Carole, normally, wehn I open a new file, they are shown next to each other but not anymore. I can't find how to change te setteing to get them next to each other?

Hi, I'm the first one to say Hi I see. I'm Monique, from the Netherlands :)

 

I don't know what to expect from this challenge, but, hey, I'm up to it and will go with the flow :)

 

I'm re-discovering PSP the last few weeks in the bootcamp , learning a lot :)

Yes, PSP is like a box of tricks like a magician has :)

Project#4

 

I thought, as I mentioned earlier, the kit was a bit to bright for me.

 

Finally got the time to change it a bit. Thanks for the tip, Carole. Used the hue/satuaration.

 

I don't think you can see it very well. I changed the yellow strip.

The project I thought wasn't working, but did work.

 

My computer gets a bit slow, I remember there was a way to empty the cache for PSP, but don't remember how? :)

 

I like the short cuts especiially, but also never understood why you had to merge down..........now I've seen what it does more clearly :)

Carole, I think the Text thing works after all. Made another project and it seems to work.

 

The first project 5 art I will see if it works there too.

Carole, the mail should be in your inbox now :)

Carole, yes I had a selection, even followed the tutorial stap by step, but I doesn't change........I even tried it on another project, but it doesn't work.

 

I'm using PSP2020 :)

 

 

Busy with project #5,

 

I'm at adding the text part of the project, but the cursor doesn't change in that thingy (disk?) you show in the video. What am I doing wrong? :)

Hi Corrie, I know I can change the language, but thanks for the tip. I prefer Dutch , but maybe during bootcamp it is "handig"om de Engelse versie te doen ;)

Carole, the first kit you mention in the project #5 mail, is parked, can't be reached.......

Practice helps :)

 

My PSP is in Dutch so I have to translate settings :)

 

Carole, is there a setting that's most used for the shadow? Especially for he opacity and fade? I used 10,10, 50,20 now.

 

If you would like to make a project and print it as a 20/25 cm photo, will you still start with a 3600/3600 canvas or another setting?

Love this bootcamp :)

 

The kit I used is a bit to bright for my liking I think, don't like this project as much as I did the others. :)

 

Had a bit of trouble with the borders, so will go and practice with that.

 

I haven't typed in English for a while, used to do that a lot, so sometimes it's hard to find the correct words. :)

Carole, thanks, this helped! (Preview and text size :) )

London again :)

 

Is there a way to increase the size of your materials palet? Sometimes the objects are so small I can't see what's on it. (Renamed the layers most of the time,but sometimes it's so hard to see :) )

 

In the tutorial when you add the shadow, you've got two windows, so you can see what's happening shadowwise ;).

 

I only have one window. How can I change that? (I'm using psp2020)

 

If you resize for the forum, you resize the pspimage first or when you converted it to jpeg en then resize? Or you can do as you prefer?

I have been very busy searching suitable backgrounds and embellishment for my London picture. It took me several hours........

 

But finally my picture is ready:)

 

I've started renaming my layers, sometimes I can't see what the picture is on the layer I am working on.

 

Had a bit of a difficulty how to give shadow to my text, but in the end it worked, but don't remember exactly how I did it. Keep practicing I guess.

 

This picture I took when I was on a 4 day trip with my youngest son, trip given to me by my family for my 5oth birthday. It was very special to do this with my him, quality time. :)

 

 

 

Edit:

 

Question I forget to ask in my  post:

 

Upsizing pictures I can understand why it's not clever to do, but how is that with background papers? Especially when they have patterns and no symbols or something on them? :)

It's so nice to see everyone making very different pages :)

Practicing..........here's another try. The pin on the left should of been more centered I see now I u/l it :)

I've added a small shadow now. Set the preset to 5 instead of 10, because the photo looked like it floated far above the paper.
