Thank you Corrie, I do hope so too.

Thank you Michele. I know in the scheme of things it is nothing compared to what some poor folk are going through but it is so debilitating and restrictive. Hope next year will be better for everyone. All good Christmas wishes to you and yours.

This year has been quite challenging for me. I think I mentioned on here before that I had developed a horrible bout of Vertigo just after the New Year. The dizziness, spinning and double vision subsided by mid March but left me with a fairly common but nasty side effect of feeling wobbly and unstable. There were times I did not want to do anything with PSP, especially if it involved me having to concentrate more than usual. Lately, I am doing more things even if it's quite challenging and giving me a bit of brain fog too. An MRI was clear, my eye health is fine and awaiting an ENT appointment. Sitting down is fine, it is the walking that I am unsteady. Anyway, I did not mean this to be a moan fest, just to say why I have not been as involved with here and PSP in general. However, I have really enjoyed this challenge of changing a dingbat font into a shape (using a script by Susie Shook) and then colouring them in and using all sorts of techniques, as taught by Carole and a fur plugin on the cat. I have put them onto one layer and will use them to compose a Christmas greeting for those friends and family I don't see through out the year. I notice I have used a different Dingbat font than the one Carole suggests. Told you I had brain fog. Anyway, hope you like them. x Forgot to say the Dingbat font was called Fox Christmas Doodle.

Wahay...I got 15/15. Well done everybody, awesome work for quite a challenging workshop. Thanks to the wondrous Carole for all her teaching, generosity and dedication to keeping PSP alive.

My Number 7. Used a cork texture for the background and some text, 2Peas Champagne on the paper.

Lesson 6. It was a bit tricky and if I did it again I would label each layer for better reference. Interesting to do depth shadowing this way though.

Ok, number 5 and it's the best I can do after many goes at it and deleting several times. Shadows are definitely not easy. Didn't really enjoy this one.

My result for lesson 4. Making me think a bit...

I really struggled with this one, mainly because my warp brush was a bit wayward and making balloons with the shadows so, gave up with that tool and used the pick tool instead which gave me more control and no bad behaving!! I put a texture on the background. I find shadows can be a bit of a challenge and can vary from time to time dependant on luck rather than judgement to make them look plausible. Could do better with more practice...

My result for lesson 2. I gave the elements some texture.

I thought about giving the rope shadow some more dimention but I guess that may be another lesson tut so didn't want to jump ahead if that is the case so just gave it a basic shadow that was pleasing to my eye.

I am in too but when I accessed the first lesson page with the link, there is no attached lesson. Has anybody else got the lesson?

Thanks Julie. I just flipped the page to the left and right because I couldn't get the font to work as I needed it too and it worked out for me ok.

Had a go at this but nothing like the idea I had in mind. However, mine is side to side and quite vibrant which is out of my comfort zone. I used Carole's Admission & Laser Doily Scripts and a font called Bahnschrift SemiBold. The dog rose is from one of my photo's I extracted many moons ago. Other images are PSP tubes but unknown creators. I used some texture on the backgrounds to simulate fabric and tried to make some stitching effect. TFL.

Number 7. Last one. Great challenge and wonderful results by everybody. Well done to you all and thank you Carole for exceding fabulous vids and ideas to stimulate the creative juices. Just a simple one to finish. I used a lovely image from Graphic Fairy and 41.TTF font from CF. TFL.
