i think i remember you saying you had that.
i have the 4.0
so i am pretty sure your features will be similiar to mine. if you need help trying to find it let me know.
i can tell you where mine is. above the layers palette is the styles and effects, there is a drop down menu with layers styles next to that is another drop down. click on that and you should find lots of choices. bevels is another good one to use, but the drop shadow is there also. you can play with the opacity of shadows also.
in elements though, i have not beable to figure out a way to change colors. i think in one of the psp programs you could change colors.

Thank you for the directions. Do you mean change color of the shadow?
That is a really beautiful page eagles!! I love the colors.

I really love it, too, eagles! The colors remind me of fall. And what a beautiful setting in your pictures!

here is one i entered in a contest. it will be a while before we know anything, first you enter the version 1 layout, then they critique it, you make changes and submit again, this goes on for a few days and then you submit a final version and then judging takes place.
i have another one in there now, so i will let you know how that one turns out, it is in the judging stage now.
this one here is the first version.
i now i have already used these photos in some other layouts, but oh well. LOL

That's really nice Eagles. I really like the torn paper.

Thanks to a quick tutorial from eagles (thanks again!), I did my first digital page tonight. It's really simple since I was just trying to figure out for the program worked a bit, but thought I'd share. I still prefer hands-on, traditional scrapbooking, but this is fun to play with sometimes too.
Wow, that's amazing that's your first one!! Great details!

wonderful first page!
i am glad to see you got pictures on your paper. LOL
now work on details. add bevels and drop shadows. sometimes you don't need the bevels, depends on how well made the embellishment is. but most of the time i add bevels, then drop shadows.
these 2 things will give your tiles and flowers the 3-d look.
the picture frame is one solid piece right? again, try the bevel and drop shadow there.
and one piece of advise....SAVE your work with your layers as a psd file!!!!!!
do not flatten, do not merge visible, try very very hard to keep this in your mind when saving. keep all layers visible, save as psd file. this is something i screw up on everyonce in a while, and well, once it happens to you, you will know what i mean.

i had my blinders on while looking at the work, i forgot to look at the overall and i just did that.
beautiful picture!!!!!!! she sure is a cutie. now is this the 2 yr old that you questioned a time out chair for? she is so cute that you will not need one, and i can't wait to see some of those pictures.

Thank you for all the advice. I don't know how much I'll go digital, but it will be nice to experiment with in down time. :lol:
Thanks! Yep, this is the one. Don't let the cuteness fool ya! She needed two timeouts last night within like 20 minutes of each other. Ugh. Two seems like such a crucial stage where she's pushing every boundary and limit we set and we feel like we need to be pretty strong about not letting her get away with things or she'll think it's okay. Don't get me wrong--she's fun, and beautiful, and more than we ever dreamed of, but SUCH a handful sometimes!

Everything on there was a free download from OScraps so it wouldn't surprise me.
