Hello! Love your spooky scarecrow layout! I especially like the thorny vines that weave in and out through all your wonderful layers. Thank you for your explanation on how you created it and for the challenge! :beatingheart:

Created this layout with one of ADB Designs' gorgeous masks!

When I saw the gorgeous detailed Times Past: Farm Life Masks by ADB Designs, I couldn't wait to play with one of them! To begin, I found a cheerful fall photo that I thought would work in the mask. Then I copied the photo and flipped it multiple times, to make it larger than the original, so...

Have you ever wanted to use a beautiful mask, but your photo just didn't seem to work with it? In this example, I'm using a gorgeous mask from ADB Designs and one of her solid papers and a stock photo from Pixabay. When I was first trying to fit this photo to the mask, here's what it looked...

What a great topic for a chat! I have tried Affinity versions 1 and 2 and I like it. Some things I like even better than in Photoshop, like setting up guides. And I like the price of Affinity so, so, SOOOOO much better! FREE is awesome! But, I've spent the last 30 years using Photoshop. I have...

Has it gotten any better @Norma? I know sometimes for me it isn't so much that Oscraps is slow ... it's more like the internet in my area is slow. Like someone in the neighborhood is downloading 23 movies and hogging all the bandwidth. Or someone hit a router and took it out someplace nearby...

You're so generous! Thank you for sharing it! :thankyouspin:

Thank you, @Su_Sanne! :heartpumppink:

Thank you, @Su_Sanne! :thankyouspin:

I love your garden in autumn, too! There are many different colors of leaves - beautiful reds, pale greens, and other greens. And a tall bush still blooming. How lovely!

Hope you have a very happy birthday, @Anja DD! :dancing6::cake2::dancing6:

Hi, Nia! I love this! I love the story you shared about the sofas. What a great strategy to make a painting that goes with it, so the new sofa will fit in better. And I love that we get a sneak peek at the color palette you used for your painting. Wonderful curving layout and paint splatters...

Hi there! This is a beautiful layout. I like how you gently arched all the elements across the page, and that you arched your title text, too. You've achieved a great deal of depth using your elements. Congratulations on being selected! :heartpumppink:

Thank you, @JeanneMN! You made me smile! :greengrin:

When I saw all the lovely patterns in ADB Designs' torn paper collection, I just new I had to play with them. Then I found a fun template by Angelle Designs and I was off to the races! Some templates, like this one, are designed to show off all the pretty papers! I started by finding an autumn...

I have friends who always start the same way, but that's not me. Sometimes I start with a color story. Sometimes I start with the photos. Sometimes I start with a kit. Sometimes I start with a template or structure for a layout. Sometimes I suck a lot of things into Photoshop and stir them to...

:welcome3: Sarah! Hope you like it here at Oscraps. I peeked at your gallery and you already have some stunners like this one. So deliciously minimalistic it borders on perfection! :beatingheart:

Hi, Linda! Welcome back! I think you and I are going to get along very well!!! Especially since you love exclamation points like I do!!!!!!!!!! :dancing6:

:welcome3: to Oscraps, Sherry! I took a peek at the two layouts you've shared, and you've got a great eye! Looking forward to seeing what you create next!
