Beautiful photos and layout Julie. Can I suggest you move your post to the May 'What are you working on' thread so that no one misses it.

Day 7: Bonsai photos from Freepik. The papers are from Janet Scott’s Fresh kit. The font is ‘Night in Tokyo’. Project completed in Affinity.

Day 6: Japanese theme continues with images by Hiroshige downloaded from Wikipedia. The papers are from Janet Scott’s Fresh kit.

Day 5: The photos are from freepik. The papers are from a kit by Rachel Martin called Aidan. The quote is from The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura The text reads: “Tea is a work of art and needs a master hand to bring out its noblest qualities. We have good and bad tea, as we have good and bad paintings—generally the latter. There is no single recipe for making the perfect tea, as there are no rules for producing a Titian or a Sesson. Each preparation of the leaves has its individuality, its special affinity with water and heat, its own method of telling a story.”

Day 4: I created the photos with AI (via Freepik). The paper is from a kit called Scrumptiously Fresh papers by Violet Insovna. The font is Sacramento. Project completed in Affinity.

Day 3: The photos were downloaded from Freepik. I adjusted the template by adding an extra photo, duplicating the stitching frame and sizing the leaves down a little. The font is ‘Night in Tokyo’. Project completed in Affinity.

Day 2: I created the photos with AI (via Freepik). The font is ‘Night in Tokyo’. The papers are from a bundle by Rachel Martin called ‘Ansel’. Project completed in Affinity.

Beautiful layout Susan - love your choice of colors.

Day 1: 'All things Japanese’ is my theme for this workshop – the images will be downloaded or created by AI. The photo in this image is one I created with AI. The font is Iskoola Pota. The papers are from a kit by Jessica Dunn called Winter Solstice. Project completed in Affinity.

Created in Affinity. The image is an AI creation on the theme of 'In the Garden'. The papers and words are from a Jessica Dunn mini kit called Cherish. Tape from somewhere… Doily from Rachel Martin’s Lydia kit.

I’m trying to get serious about learning to use Affinity Photo so am going through the lessons that Carole has already done. I’ve started with redoing Bootcamp. I really haven’t got any new photos at the moment so I’m using AI generated images. I’m taking part in a weekly challenge where each week we have a different theme - as we’re on week 14, I’ve a few images ready to use. The theme for this image was ‘What Lies Ahead’. The font I used is Zain. The papers and elements are from a bundle by Rachel Martin called ‘Lydia’.

I'm in and will work with Affinity.

N = Neutral in the sense that the sun will rise whatever we think or do, wherever we are, whether we notice or not...

J = Japan which is called the "Land of the Rising Sun" because it is considered to lie close to where the sun first rises.

G = Gentle

B = Brightness

W = Welcoming

Q = Quintessential

Project 5 This rabbit was sitting in the churchyard opposite where my first photo of this bootcamp was taken. He was totally peaceful and so in the moment… The kit is the same one I used for the first project - the Jessica Dunne To Behold kit, font is DM Sans Medium, the photo is mine, the quote is from Eckhart Tolle.

I love what you've done on this one and I'm really impressed that you've worked with one kit throughout the bootcamp - wish I'd thought to do that!

Project 4: Prudhoe Castle – the remains of a medieval castle on the banks of the River Tyne (Northumberland, UK). The photos are mine, the papers and elements are from a Jessica Dunn kit called Autumn Comforts, the font is Fondamento.

I loved it as a kid as well but had trouble following the instructions. These days it's so much easier with you tube videos!

I found this origami fox under a load of paper and, as this challenge had reached F, I thought I’d take a photo. If I get some time I might do some folding for other letters.

Project 3: Belsay Hall and Castle is an English Heritage Property in Northumberland (UK). Within the grounds there is a quarry garden that is quite unique with lots of different plants and trees. The photos are mine, the papers and elements are from A Touch of delight by Marisa Lerin, the font is DM Sans Medium.

Ann, that is really a very beautiful layout.
