Make It Monday - Week 2 of Digi: In Deep Class

Oh, I'm just so excited about the things I've been learning in this class... this week was quite a bit easier for me than last week.... and I enjoyed practicing my new skills all last week. I have decided to not do the other assignments during the week because I just don't have the time with the holidays here... so, I'm doing the lesson layout every week and then I'll go back and do this whole thing over again when things have settled down a bit and have the time. Plus, I think it will be a great refresher to do the lessons over again.

Here's what I learned in today's lesson...

• Re-color multiple patterned papers using an adjustment layer
• Create your own patterned paper with a custom brush
• Save a brush using the Preset Manager
• Create masks using custom shapes and alphabets
• Create a smooth gradient transition between two photos
• Add zig-zag stitching for a handmade look
• Create a photo overlay with a custom brush
• Add a custom drop-shadow to a journaling card to pop it off the page

and here's the page I made for the lesson
