F = Festival of Lights...drive thru light show around Christmas...right here in VA.

Day 7

 

Thank you, Carole! I have learned a lot and received a great deal of inspiration from everyone's work.

 

I just downloaded the train elements from Chantahlia Designs last night. Great timing, I think!

#72752 I'm not sure how many pickleball T-shirts I have...5 or 6 maybe. If I played more tournaments I would have a lot.

E is for Eleanor

 

Eleanor and I have been friends for a long time. These photos were taken on various trips to South Carolina to visit with her. Template is from Chantahlia Designs...template 37.

Day 6, extra template. My friend and I wearing matching T-shirts. She gifted my shirt to me. Below are 3 more samples of pickleball T-shirts.

Day 6...Green eyes Poppy...I now have another idea for another page. We'll see if I manage to pull it together.

Day 5...another UVA basketball page. I didn't have basketball brushes so I made some following Carole's directions, https://scrapbookcampus.com/2019/03/adding-brushes-to-paintshop-pro/

 

 

Same game as above. I love the fact I caught the shooter and the boy behind her! The font for "Three" was a give away from Creative Fabrica today...what luck, huh?

I wasn't sure I wanted to do this lesson but I dove in anyway...had a blast. Thank you, Carole!

 

I've been wanting to scrap these 2 photos a long time...they're from 2011. I never got to meet Pat Summitt. This photo was taken during the game...probably with a 200mm lens. She was an amazing woman!

Hi, Christiane! Welcome to the Campus!

 

I second what everyone else has said. Relax, have fun. I tell all my students and pickleball players, "The expert was once a beginner." Our group does have beginners to pretty accomplished PSPers. Don't be shy...jump right in!

Carole, I have thought about a trail camera for a long time. Then a neighbor shared some pictures his camera had captured. Then he emailed a sale on a website for one of his cameras and finally I took the step and got one myself. My neighbor helped me set it up and the rest is history. Initally, I was not impressed with the photos but then the camera caught a couple of good ones. I have had a problem with trespassers some and that's why I wanted a camera...but this is just too much fun. I may even buy another. The trespass problem is resolving itself...but I have a camera if I need it to catch a trespasser.

Mask Workshop, Day 3. Another photo from my trail camera. I moved it to the birdbath. I love this photo. Fox getting a drink. I gave up on the kaliedoscope. I made many using 3 different photos. I just don't like such a busy paper. I think it had a lot to do with the colors. The background paper overwhelmed the photo...colors too bold, I think.

Day 2. My friend and her brother.

I loved this template the moment I saw it! I really needed this refresher. Thank you, Carole.

Day 7, part 2. Again all photos from the trail camera.

Wow! So many pages...great work, Everyone!

 

No, Carole, I copied part of the background paper and pasted it over the cluster. I felt the cluster was a distraction. I'm not a big fan of any cluster...especially the flower one. I love "real" flowers but not the ones in scrap kits so much. I'm sure you've noticed my pages have few elements of any kind.

 

Day 7

 

All photos from my trail camera.

Day 6, part 2

I continue to be amazed by the creativity of this group. Beautiful work, Everyone! How do we get such different results with the same starting point?

 

Day 6

 

Photos from my trail camera. I didn't think I could add text that would enhance this page but Corrie and Anita proved me wrong. Lesson learned. Never assume...try many options first.

Pat Boone has played basketball for several National Senior Games. In 2019 we finally got a photo of him with our team. Interestingly, he plays for a Virginia team.

 

Pat Boone was a teen heart throb during my teen years. A very wholesome young man with an amazing voice. He also wrote Twixt Twelve and Twenty as a guide to growing up for his fans. I still have my copy...a bit worn and tattered but I still have it.

My mixed doubles pickleball partner and I at the 2019 National Senior Games.

Day 4, part 2

 

I went way back for these photos also...2012 and 2013.

Day 4

 

I went way back for these pics...2013. We went to the Maryland State Games and only had 3 players...no subs! I was playing down 2 age groups...10 years. We played really well that day and won gold. It was a funfilled day!

Congratulations, Monique! Wonderful news!

 

I played around with levels, Carole. It really improved one photo but the other, not so much. I will continue to play with levels and hopefully, learn to use it effectively. Thank you.
