Wonderful Class. I did/do know the basics, but it is invaluable to learn how to refine the basic shadows, save sets, and understand how you think about various applications to elements etc. Thank you

Excellent class! I’ve been scrapbooking for several years now and didn’t think I needed this class. BUT…I did. This class offers an in depth explanation of drop shadows and how to use them effectively, with lots of added tips to make elements look more realistic on the page. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in making their pages look their best.

I am always looking to build my Photoshop skills and drop shadows have been somewhat of a mystery to me. I am so happy I took this opportunity to learn from Anna. I now have new techniques in my toolbox that will become a permanent part of my scrapbooking process. Thanks Anna!
