A big thank you to all who participated. I enjoyed learning about you all.
Winners are bitzze for $5 GC and AJRandom for $10 I sent your names over to Angie so you will get a code from her to use at the store so have fun shopping. You will need to select and load before the store closes so shop soon.
Congratulations!!! Hope to see you at another site.

You all are doing such a beautiful job on your books with gorgeous layouts - I'm really enjoying them all.
I feel bad that this important project has to be so l rushed but at least everyone can make it after the store closes.

You highlight the word you want too be the link, then at the top of the posting box is a diagonal "glasses" that are suppose to be a chain LOL then it pops up a box where you put the link and hit insert into post and its then adds the link too the highlight word. Hope that makes sense.
Thank you Tracy .

Hello everyone
I was in two minds as to whether I should just retire gracefully, and ride off into the sunset, or to seek out a new store. The decision was made for me when the Studio https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/ offered me a spot as a designer at their store. I'm not set up yet but that's where you will be able to find me in the future under my name: Susie Roberts. I was feeling terribly sad about finishing so maybe I was not meant to! I do LOVE making products and I have adored being here with you all. Angie, you have been so kind and understanding when "life" has gotten in the way but I now feel like I have a new start. I hope to see you all over there at some stage.
Thank you all so much for everything.
Cheers Susie
Ok I know where to find you...Happy

My heart really has not been into scrapbooking since my son passed in 2021. With that in mind, I’ve decided that I will not be seeking out another store. So, this is my goodbye, too. I am so thankful for all the years and all the friends I have met along this journey. If I ever make anything new etc etc, it will be posted on my blog and Facebook:

Much, much love to you all!!I am so sorry for your loss I hope the pain eases soon. Thank you for all the years of your creativity.

Thanks for posting the full list. After seeing the list, I realize that some of my pictures could be used with more than one topic. This will help sort that out.
It's all just ideas for a page so alter as you need to there are no scrap police and the hall monitors in under control sitting in the corner eating thanks to you.

I don't think I will be able to join in. Had planned to do most pages after we got home on the 18th. Sounded like a perfect challenge for me too. All the pages are looking awesome so far.
So sorry you cannot join in but you can certainly make it on your own later on.

Sounds like the opacity of the picture may not be 100%. I use PSCC, but I think Elements is similiar. Look towards the top of the layers palette and see if you see a little box or a slider bar with the word Opacity up there. Check to see if it's reduced for some reason. If it is, just move it up to 100%. If it already is, then I don't know what else might cause that.
I agree it sounds like an opacity problem. Good luck and let us know if you fix it.

Well ladies in their effort to close SG's in a timely organized way they are asking me to shut down the project by the 19th in order to give the winners time to shop with their gift cards. I have two thoughts...
1. is posting two challenges each day so you can pick and chose what you want to do.
2. posting all of them, again so you could pick and choose
What do you think? I want you all to have time to make the pages to complete this book
So sorry for all the rush

I sent mine- thank you ladies for doing this...it will be so wonderful to have everyones email

Thank you all for your kind words It's been a rough time but we are taking one day at a time. Helping my friend has been very time consuming but she appreciates it.
April 7...Sunday. Catch up if you need to or enjoy a day off if you are up to date. We will have another busy week of scrapping.

Thanks for the input, Celestine. I really didn't mean to step on anyone's emotions, so I apologize if I missed a cue somewhere. Angie titled this group "Important Message," and it has kind of morphed into a Goodbye and Tribute page -- which is all good, to be sure. The only reason I posted the possibility of a FB group here in *this* thread is because I was trying to intersect with as many people as possible -- all at once -- who would be interested in keeping in touch. I appreciate that you started another thread for our next steps. I did fly my FB idea by Angie before I posted it and got her okay. I never would have suggested something like a new group without her being aware of it beforehand.
Again, thank you for your input.
Cindy
Well I personally would love to see a FB page because we could still share pages and ideas. Please invite me.
