Fantastic list there Ann Maree - how organised you are!!

I will definitely be keen to give ANY from your list a go... eg. Love that sillouette idea, it's things like that I'd never think of doing - I need that stretching with those type of ideas... And some topics I think I know, but I'm sure I could learn more, or practice.

Things I'd also like to add would be ideas about making papers, this might be helped by the filters/brushes topics??
and making elements stuff:
eg.
making STITCHING (with texture/different types/shapes)
making BUTTONS (haven't found a tut on this yet)
making FIBRES (I have found a tut I think? but haven't tried it yet...)
Using the stamping feature - love it, have used it, just think there must be more I could do with it....

Hope that helps your list grow a bit more!! I'm glad there is a DIP group going now, I was hoping for some more DIP ideas, so tired of reading PSE PSP after all the classes :) Thanks for all your input!

Me again! :) Another idea I had is using some of the DSPtuts that we already have for DIP and do a homework on them.
Some of them I've tried but if I'm doing a LO I forget to use them, or I haven't had a reason to try them... I know I could do that myself :eek: but it would be great motivation for me to practice the skills if I have to do it as part of a group for homework. Just a thought...:)
