I have done the bootcamp a couple of times, it is always a good review and reminder. There are techniques I learn and then forget about. Like the pinked paper edge! You could eaily change it to a scallop, and adapt it to your project. Also using a paper to fill the text. I should practice that again. Thanks for the review!

Project 5- I began to use the "Cranberry" kit, but there are no solid papers in that kit. So I used 2 of the patterned papers for the squares...but it just didn't look good to me. Last night I decided to just close it up and look again tomorrow. Today, it still didn't look good to me! I decided to pull a couple of colors out of the photo and use them for the squares. And then PSP didn't seem to want to cooperate, so I closed it down again. I feel like I have done this page many times today. So I guess that means I am done with it. There are several things I would change, if I had more time or more patience today...

Project 4 I dug in my photos and found some photos from a short trip several years ago, a visit to the 'State Pen'. It was a planned trip, so it was fun. I used a bunch of random papers and I guess that is how it looks! I should have planned better. I will try to use a kit next time. I am running to another doctor appointment today, so out of time now.

Project 3-- It is always so interesting to see how everyone uses the tutorial in a slightly different way! I used the glitters, but I didn't like the color so I adjusted it....and it doesn't look very glittery now. I used the guides, it is a good way to make things the same size that don't start out that way. I am not sure I am entirely happy with my choice of papers and colors, but I am finished for tonight. Maybe I will like it better tomorrow 😉

Project 2, but I don't know what day! Guess I am on a spring flowers theme. I took this photo this past week when I visited a garden that my fellow Penn State Master Gardener's maintain, at the Outdoor Discovery Center. I'm not able to participate in gardening activities right now, because I am in 'recovery mode'. The weather has been tempting me tho! I used part of the same kit I used on Project 1, and the same fonts. I tried rotating the background paper so it would look different, but it just looked odd to me, so I used contol + Z and undid it. I also used part of another kit called Dandelion Wishes. I loved seeing the crocus blooming at this garden. Either the chipmunks steal the ones I plant, or the voles eat them, or both....but I keep trying...gotta feed the wildlife 😉

I had to use the jpg Optimizer to get my 600 pixel image small enough. I don't think I had to do that before? Or maybe I am mistaken!

Project 1--The fonts are Strong Signature and Underwood Champion. Kit is "A Spring to Behold" Photo is mine.

Hey y'all, I'm here too....I'm just slow. I have done Bootcamp a couple of times. It is always a good 'refresh' for me. I will be using 2019. I like a medium gray workspace, and dark gray background. I don't know what photos I will be using. I had some major surgery Feb 22. When I signed up for Bootcamp, I knew it would be during 'recovery time' for me, but I didn't realize how slow recovery would really be, and how limited I would be physically. I am seeing signs of spring out my window, so I may look for photos of spring to use.

April 2022 Bootcamp-

I did this for the Greeting Card Workshop in 2022.

WOW! There is just sooo much to look at in this thread! Here is another one from the Vector Workshop....again, I don't know how to find the link to post ?

This was done for day 5 of the Vector Workshop. I don't know how to find the link for the tutorial!

Lesson 7/day 7-- I feel like it has taken me a while to get here to lesson 7! Sometimes I can't follow directions, sometimes PSP doesn't follow directions or just doesn't want to function right, and sometimes it may be all of the above. I know I have learned many things. I need to make more notes so I can do a few of them again! I dug around and found more tubes on an old Jasc PaintShop Xtras disc. I think that is where the pink flowers were. Thank you Carole for a challenging and informative workshop, and the extra help!

Lesson 6, part 2 or 3, not sure...that last one, with the text! I fought with this last night-I'm not sure if there is a glitch in PSP, or in the script, or in my laptop. Carole and I will look at it later today. But for now, I will post my 2 attempts that I saved. I had many empty layers, multiple times ? On the one with the balls, I edited the nodes first...maybe that sent PSP into a tantrum ?

Lesson 6/day 6--the first 2 went just like the lesson. But the text....no. I am not sure what I'm missing. I right click, convert to path. Choose picture tube, I do one and test the size, and I see that. When I run the script, I get a new layer named 'stroked object', but there is nothing there. I turn the text layer off, and there is still nothing there. I can change the tube, adjust the size, run it again, and get another layer 'stroked object', but there is nothing there? What am I missing?

Thank you. That helps and I guess I don't need to adjust any of my settings. I am able to view the videos, but still unable to download anything. So were we charged 'download credits' for viewing the videos...which may explain why I can't download any more guidebooks, or anything else...I keep getting the 'opps' page.

Day 5/Lesson 5-Thank you Carole for finding the glitch with viewing the videos! I still can't download the guidebook tho... Had a little bit of time this afternoon, but had to break it into 2 work periods. I think I learned some of this before, but it didn't 'stick' in my brain....maybe it will this time? Or not!

There is no change today. If I am logged in, I can't watch the video, nor can I download the guidebook. I have to log out to see the video, and then there is no option to download the guidebook. I have to log in to get into the campus, but then I can't see any videos! This is very frustrating! It is like I am blocked out if I am logged in. How do I know when I can download again? I really thought I should have been able to yesterday.

Neither one will play the video. I went into the Campus, and those won't play either. I went to several other sites where I watch video, and those WILL play. And I have rebooted my computer. Update--I logged out of the Campus, then I could watch the lesson 5 video. But when I logged back in, there is just a black window where the video should be, and a 'play' arrow that doesn't do anything. I can't download the workbook until my counter resets, which I thought would have been today.

I normally use Chrome, but I tried Edge also.
