Do People Gasp At Your Custom Shadows
Because They’re Awful…Or Because They’re Amazing?

A Master At Creating Exquisite Custom Drop Shadows

Hi—I’m Linda Sattgast, and I use at least one custom shadow on almost every scrapbook page I make. That’s because adding a custom drop shadow to a digital page instantly takes it up a notch—if you do it right. If you don’t, let’s just say it doesn’t do your scrapbook page any favors.

You’re going to love this collection of custom shadows featuring most of the elements you use all the time on your pages!

Locate an element (ordered alphabetically) on the Visual Custom Shadow Guide and click to view a “before” and “after” image. Click a video link to see precisely how it was done by an expert.

For some of the examples, I’ve invited two other experts to demonstrate their favorite custom shadow methods, which will give you ideas and options you may not have considered.

“I learned about custom shadows before, so initially I thought I ‘knew it all.’ So glad I enrolled in this class as I soon learned I didn’t know it all! Thank-you for your excellent teaching.”

“I think this class is one of the best classes ever. The lessons are so easy to follow and these shadow actions make it a breeze.”
