You can leave it at 1200 pixels for the width and then go to File | Export | JPG Optimizer and it will cut the size of the file down quite a bit.

I did. It seemed like we skipped winter this year. Spring arrived fast and furious.

I live on the other end of the state, over near Springfield. I would love to move to the coast but my husband prefers a more "rural" area.

Finally done with Lesson 2. I needed to ruminate on the idea and then get the pictures on my dog walks.

Thank you for showing us pictures of Switzerland. I've been doing my genealogy and I've found out that my great grandmother was born and spent the first 19 years of her life there before moving to the states in 1892.

As usual, my project is animals because that's what I have the most pictures of. Part of plan behind this is to create a monthly page (or double page) of the pets I take care of each month and then at the end of the year, put them in a book and gift the book to the pet parents. These are my March pups and kitties.

This is my attempt at Lesson 5. I totally forgot to do the texture in the text but I still like the effect. Hannah loved the snow!

@Rene Marker That's EXACTLY what I need. Thank you so much

I'm not sure if this is going to be covered. It has to do with text on a path. I know how to put text around a circle, but the text on the bottom is upside down. I've looked for information before on how to have it right side up like my "professional" image below and I've found the explanation (but as usual I never can find it a second time). If I recall correctly, it's a round about way that you have to do it, but I don't remember.

This is Ousha. The background and the papers were made by me. I'm trying to come up with a tie dye paper, but I haven't quite got to that point. But it does sorta channel Laugh In.

Thank you so much, Carole. That worked perfectly!

I'm making a two page layout using a pocket scrapbooking template. I want to mirror or flip the template so the empty area is to the right. I know that I can just manually move the squares but isn't that what PSP's mirror command or flip command supposed to do easily? Is there a trick to getting the multi-layer template to mirror? I'm pulling out my hair here. Thanks.

And the final project is one of my cat clients for those of you so inclined. The elements are from Gina Jones' Everyday is Caturday kit. The font is Allura (from Google fonts) Thanks so much for this workshop, Carole.

Day 6's project I found easier than the 5th one. This is Stella. She's a giant breed - Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix. We went to Puppy Kindergarten when she was about 5 months old. She got expelled. (She's fear aggressive and the teacher was filling in for the regular one and she wasn't comfortable with a 60 lb puppy with behavior issues). We returned to school when the regular teacher returned and Stella was 9 months old and GIGANTIC when she finally graduated from puppy school. I love this method of making a background. Elements are from the Fido kit by Gina Jones.

I had a really hard time with Lesson 5's project, finding a picture, getting the size of the photo right, getting the size of the circle right (though I'm still not sure of that), finding the right brushes, etc. I'm not sure if this project properly hits the points that we were supposed to hit, but here goes. This is Annie. She was one of ours.
