englishrose Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Task #8. I backup my supplies and photos once a month onto an ehd. I usually do this after I've unpacked my latest Club delivery. I use the backup function in PSE for my photos and LOs. For scrapbooking supplies I use the normal copy/paste. I find PSE very frustrating, espeically now I have so many photos etc. The backup takes forever and there are no reassuring messages saying that things are happening. At a number of stages in the process the computer just sits and blinks at me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Task #9 - like MariJ I too would like to try a hybrid craft. Keeping my fingers crossed that we're allowed to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryyllaann Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Task 8 complete. 9 Out of 10 is the layout I did. I scraplifted Jody's Ring of Kerry. I loved the greens in this and the beautiful rainbow. I added a gradient rainbow to my background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherryyllaann Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 SpeedBump: All my scrapping stuff is saved on to an external hard drive that automatically copies to a larger external drive weekly. Its a bit touchy and sometimes if power fluctuates the process is interrupted. I do need to double check it now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LenaLotta Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Speedbump: a well needed reminder, thank you! I use a EHD for back up, I have to start it manually. I'm thinking of some cloud-based back up but haven't decided yet. Now all my photos and all my SG stuff is backed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Davis Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm a little behind with my tasks, so quick update to keep me on track - I'm a good way through task 8, I need to include some embellishments but struggling deciding where I want my title. Speed bump #2 is something on my task list anyway (I aim to check it is all working every 3 months). Task 9 I've bookmarked a few pages from the university to decide on. When I write it out like that, it looks better than I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri M Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 We've been on vacation so I'm catching up. Task 5, 6, 7, 8 done. My layout is Pedals I scraplifted from One Nummie Popsicle picking up the layering, the colored square, and the style of the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri M Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 January 11 speed bump: I use Carbonite as an ongoing backup, and I know it's working because I've checked it from another computer and was able to download files. I had it turned off while we were on vacation, but it worked diligently all night and I am all backed up now. I also do periodic (theoretically weekly but not always good about connecting) backups to an EHD using Windows backup. I have also restored from there, so, again, it's been checked.

ScrapGram Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Task #10 Here is my link to a tutorial in SG University "Chalking Around PNG Brush Files Or Clip Art Using the Burn Tool" This tut teaches you how to achieve a chalked effect on your layout by using the burn tool. I played around with it last week after reading about it in another forum on a question posted by Sanot. Teresa answered the question and posted this link. I decided then I was going to use it soon on a layout and then came to this forum and saw Task #9! It is really a neat effect that I have never used before.

kivi5 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Task 9 and 10 as I was looking for the next task, I saw ScrapGram's answer to Task 10. Since i hadn't picked a tuturial yet, that one caught my eye. What a great find. I could not find it in the SG unversity just looking, so I followed the link. Love it! Here is the link again. Chalking Around PNG Brush Files Using The Burn Tool I so cannot wait to use it on a page. I tried using a brush on a layer and then selecting that and burning around it like in the tutorial. That works just as well as a PNG file and then I didn't have to try and dig up a PNG file. I already had the brush in my PSE7.0 I am so seeing this becoming a big part of my scrapping now. Thanks.
