JUNE - ART JOURNAL challenge

I love styles and actions.. I have a lot of the Atomic Cupcake actions from before they left the internet which are grand but I also like to make styles and actions. re styles on of my favorites is the one I did with the "Friends don't let friends fonts float" ... the original tutorial by Anne and then I attached the styles for it. Use it all the time! I used that style for a lot of my blending with the rub ons etc and blend into the paper.



This thread has the style download plus instructions how to load into CC & PSE

TIMES OF DARKNESS

“Especially in times of darkness, that is the time to love, that an act of love may tip the balance.” — Aeschylus

I have been struggling with how to express my feelings about the Orlando massacre. It seems there are no words deep enough. And neither is this, but it’s the best I can do. The only hope I can find.

Elements from Vinnie Pearce, Just Jaimee, Quirky Heart, Dawn Inskip, Paula Kesselring, Lynne-Marie, Allison Pennington, Angie Young, and Lynn Grieveson. I used actions and styles from JustJamie and the nofontfloat style from cfile.

This is beautiful and so powerful emotionally. I'd love to know what kits you used.

 

I need a new supply tracker! Neither the Anna Forrest nor the CVW ones will work with Photoshop CC. Anyone have a pointer for me?

But I will go back & make a list of what I used. Maybe not till later today or tomorrow, though. I'm glad you like the page.

 

@sbpoet I use Anna's in CC I keep the script in a folder and then all I do in CC is go to File>Scripts>Browse and go to where I have it downloaded and then click on it and it works.. not sure how Macs do it, but the supply tracker script I have from Anna Forest works perfectly.

 

Glad you loaded it and you used it too!! Have fun Sharon @sbpoet

 

I edited my post with this info.

Still can't make the credit trackers I have work. Anna even says at her store that hers won't work with PSCC; you lucked out! Or maybe it's a Mac issue.

So, I'm still on the lookout for a credit tracker, Mac, PhotoshopCC.

 

I don't have a supply tracker. I keep a word file open. Thank you for going back and doing that for me.

 

oh my great pages. I have got my actions all uploaded now. Yeah. I bought one that does not work. Hmmm need to find out what is wrong and thank you @cfile I have downloaded your action and will give it a try this week as well.

 

You are very welcome!!! Enjoy! I use the style on everything not just fonts!!!

 

As you know, I don't use any PS stuff to scrap, but Craft Artist has something called Effects which are styles. Not all are good, as some leave a shadows that you cannot get rid of, but I have learned to manage so I thought (don't faint LOL) that I should have a go at this!!!! I turned some bubble like element that was silver into a plastiky style (orange) one to give it a burst of more color, also changed that spiral like circle in the right hand side into a lighter shade of metal as it was getting lost so dark there. Then applied another style to the alpha I used to fit with the page colors and make it a bit more corporeal, hope this is ok

 

Here is mine. I just lost my beloved Jack (our pup) on 6/21. Our 42nd wedding anniversary was on 6/22. We cut our vacation in half, drove home from vacation with his lifeless body in the back seat of the car. My DH and I are beside ourselves. It was so unexpected. But Jack was aging, he was slowing down, we just refused to see it.

Overlays by Amy Wolff, Quirky Heart (blended), Dawn Inskip. Four background papers blended together. Burnt wood style from Paula Kesselring used on one of Quirky Heart's cut-out elements.
