Make It Monday... Last Digi: In Deep lesson

I completed my Digi: In Deep class and I've learned so much and am so excited to use my new skills in my new layouts. Here are the things I learned while making this layout.

• Install a Photoshop .pat file
• Create a custom background from pattern adjustment layers
• Use Photoshop to "fake" a shallow depth of field on a photo
• Create a multi-photo effect using masks and a .png frame
• Experiment using text as texture
• Create a lacy edge on a scalloped circle
• Use the Rounded Rectangle tool to create a journaling block
• Use the Burn tool with grunge brushes
• Create semi-transparent ghost shapes
