I have missed several days. Had some time this evening to play with the vector script from Day 6. It took a good deal of 'playing' to get something I liked, and PSP2019 was playing tricks on me too 😞 This week we will have Thanksgiving, so that was my word for the day. Maybe I will use it in a layout when I am done cooking. PS--This workshop is overlapping the 'Black Friday Event'....how do I add another 5-8 hours to my day...???😂🤣😂

Day 2 - I played with different fonts/size/colors. It seems that the baseline actually changes with different fonts, without changing the size of the text. Interesting experiment! I just love fonts 🙂

Day 1 and already behind.... When I filled the text with green, it didn't fill to the full width of all the letters. I am using 2019. When I selected inside each letter, I could select the full width. But I didn't like any of the tubes I tried, I think I was agrivated/frustrated by the fill not being as I expected it...so I stopped.

I am pretty sure I have done this workshop before, but I always need refreshed. Hope I will have time to keep up with this workshop, since I really never got started on the last one I signed up for a couple of months ago.

Lesson 7 - Cast shadow When I use the eraser, I seem to get a pattern. I'm not sure if it will be noticable when I post it.

I think I got all the steps here, don't think I missed any. I would not be able to do it again without the video. And personally, I feel 'tricky and tedious' may be an understatement.

I'm with Susan on this one! I watched the video, had to stop a few times and rewatch sections. I need an uninterrupted period to try it and not miss a step! And I'm with Rene too -- not sure I am seeing the difference.

I am certain I will NEVER use a curly ribbon! 😆 If I find I have any, I may just have to delete them to save my sanity!

I was planning to work on this early today, but I got distracted and pulled into something else....sigh...

Lesson 3 - I don't think I have tried to do lifted corners before. And I don't have the script. Nor do I know how to save presets on the drop shadows...is there a blog article???

And the time of day, and the time of the year, shadows are different in these circumstances.

Got a late start today. A week ago I had surgery, so today was the post-op appointment. I don't think I have used a reverse shadow before. Photo is mine that I took at a local garden. I had an extra layer in the file? You can see bit of the edge to the left of my photo, in the corner of the 2 papers. I should have nudged the layer so you couldn't see it, but I forgot about it.

Lesson 1 - Shadows often frustrate me....but I do recognize they are often needed. Not sure exactly what I used on the string, I tweeked it until I felt it looked right. Do you want to know the numbers? I would have to go back and check. And maybe I need to keep better notes as I work...

I learned how to make pizzelles at a young age, using the cast iron pizzelle iron that my grandfather brought from Italy. In my family, pizzelles HAD to be anise flavored! Anything else was not a pizzelle! I still only make them with anise....anything else just doesn't seem right 😉

When I signed up, I didn't check my calendar first--I had too many appointments scheduled this week! Feeling like I am getting behind.....Day 2 finally.
