mimes1 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 HERE is my unused product layout Jan 21 - two papers added ✔️ Jan 22 - Journal, title added ✔️ @MariJ I hope I did your favorite collection justice! Most of the embs and the matt papers are from Homebody. I love that you did so much with it during covid and that it brought you comfort doing so. It would be awesome to have all of your Homebody layouts in a printed book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 January 23rd SPEEDBUMP - Leave love (comments) on 4 layouts shared by others in the Jumpstart January Gallery. You don't need to leave links to them or anything since it isn't a "required" task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 I have linked all the tasks in the opening post so that when you click on them, it should take you to the posted task. I've put the "required" tasks that are eligible for the drawing in bold, so if you need to catch up, you're only required to post about the ones that are bolded. And, I'm happy to see that everyone who has done more than one or two tasks has completed three of the layout tasks, so they'll be included in the prize drawings. And if you're one of those who only has one or two, use those tips I just gave for how to catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 @April Showers I looked through the bold required tasks and it looks like I'm only missing - the first layout/Task 7. January 8th LAYOUT TASK 7 - Add some journaling, a date, and any finishing touches to your layout. REQUIREMENT: When you are finished, upload your “Recent Photos” layout to the Jumpstart January Gallery. Could you please confirm this is correct? I'm going to try and finish that first page with tasks 4, 5 and 6 if I can and then I think I should be all good for the month? 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 January 24th TASK 20 - Choose a tutorial from the Scrap Girls Blog with new technique you would like to try. To find the tutorials on the blog use the following steps: 1. Click "Blog" on the blue-green bar at the top of any forum page. This will take you directly to the Scrap Girls Blog. Some of you may have to click "More" then click on "Blog". 2. On the Right Panel a little way down (you may have to scroll down a little) is a small box that says "Categories" with a drop-down menu. 3. From the drop-down menu choose one of the tutorial subcategories. This will then bring up all the tutorials, just click "Older Post" at the bottom of the page to see more. 4. If you want to find something specific you can use the search box (a few boxes above the Categories box). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Task 20 complete. I'm going to use this tutorial on styles. I've used styles before, of course, but the tutorial talks about different and creative ways to use them, so I'd like to give one or two of the suggestions a try.

MariJ Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 January 24th TASK 20 One Click Selections with PSE 2020 I'm going to try this one, actually I just did! I never knew I could select a subject like that, very cool and easy. You have to have a photo that works, but mine did. I have PSE 2020 and apparently it was new in that version. Who knew? I'm glad to have learned this now, even though it seems so simple I should have known! Now I do! 🤣 I'm working now on learning how to add or subtract from the selection, I didn't know that was even possible! Having a little trouble but going to keep trying....

MariJ Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 For now I'm leaving Week 1 layout/recent photos not finished. When I went back to look yesterday since my photos were already downloaded I mis-read (my bad!) and used an older photo, not a new one. I did a lot of work editing it and I'm glad, but I'd have to start all over again with recent pics. I'll see how the week and month goes, who knows, I still might have time?

That's one I should try, too, since I have PSE20. I always admire how well everyone does their selections and I never think mine look "selected" very well at all. I look forward to seeing your layout... and maybe you'll inspire me to try following those directions, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an inexpensive iPhone SE 2020, but in the latest very recent update, in Photos you can extract your subject. It doesn't work on every photo but when I'm holding/pressing on one to save it will often extract it and very well. It gives you the choice to save or share I think. I shared to my computer and it is an excellent extraction. But, I'm still following the tutorial for this challenge since you can do so much more and I want to learn.

scrapgran Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Task #20 I am going to use this tutorial on masks - Quick & Easy Mask Tip by Anna Mansfield. I am working in PSE 12. Looking at the PSE 2020 tips I am quite envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 24 January, Task 20. I chose the Texture Turorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 25 January Task 21. I applied texture by applying the VRA FrogPrince paper and using the Darker Colour Blendmode. on the paper. Texture Turorial I decided to go back and apply the, aimeeh_forthebirds_texture, to the photo using a multiply blend mode to the, forthebirds texture paper.

Boatlady Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Jan. 25 task 21- Blending photos into background by Jody West It uses the gradient tool which I am not very handy with so I am learning allot by playing around. Thank you for this challenge April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Jan 25 Task 21: I'm using the creative ways to use styles tutorial by Melanie Cockshott. So far I've applied a style to my main photo, using AFT's Budding Gradients but I want to try adding a style to brushwork, if that works with my page. Otherwise, I'll try adding a style to the background paper. So far I'm having a lot of fun trying out the different styles and effects!

scrapgran Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Task #21 I often find that photos don’t fit masks & usually finish up erasing some of the mask to fit the photo. With this technique you can blend colour from your photo into the overhanging mask for a different effect.
