I If you have not yet learned how to use a clipping mask, it will open up whole new worlds for you!

In Course 1 you learned how vital the use of the Control J command was so important in cutting papers.

Lesson 49 - Custom Shadows (Lesson 23)

When I first wrote this tutorial, it became a big hit in the digi-world!  There were none out there like it.  Now, you see these skills shared on many various sites in their tutorials.  This one is one that will take you a while.  I want you to really play with all that is to be learned in this tutorial.  Take your time with it!  It is yet another tutorial that will open up whole new worlds!

Lesson 54 - Gradients (Lesson 7)

Please make a layout using a custom-made gradient of your own.  I have shared three unique layout examples of ways to utilize the gradient tool in your layouts.  I look forward to seeing you either utilize one of these technique (or all of them if you want to get 3 layouts done!) or to come up with something new to inspire the rest of us.

Lesson 55 - Repeated Elements (Lesson 26)

I think that you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to copy one element repeatedly across a layout with just the knowledge of some keyboard shortcuts.

Lesson 56 - 3D Text (Lesson 55)

This is just another simple technique to apply to text. It is not a true 3D text technique, but something fun.  Since so much of our layout is focused on the text that leads us to the photos, text techniques are a simple fun way to make a layout special.

Lesson 60 - Presets - Gradients, Swatches, Brushes, & Patterns (Lesson 58)

Since we have worked with installing brushes in a previous lesson and we have used swatches, why not try installing a free pattern file from the internet?  Share the link to where you found the pattern file that you used in your layout.  If not a pattern, then try a gradient file.
