    (I use PSCC.) I chose an element from the kit I wanted to use. I'm guessing the person who made the shape of Africa just had an Africa-shaped PNG file. I considered using the California or Virginia I have from SwL before I settled on the kit I wanted. I stretched my shape as big as I wanted my biggest opening. Then I held Cmd/Ctrl while clicking on the thumbnail image of the shape in the layers panel, which causes it to select the outer edge of the shape. Then I clicked on the paper layer I wanted to cut from, then hit delete. Cmd/Ctrl-D deselects the shape. Resize the shape smaller, then repeat the above steps as many times as needed.

    I learned something about shadowing from Tangie Baxter in her art journaling class a few years ago. Besides using the shadow layer style, I also use the outer glow layer style. It works similarly to the shadow style, but goes entirely around the shape. Adjust the opacity, spread, and size of both layer styles until you like how they look.

    Not too extreme, but plenty of layers.

    My take on the challenge - not too easy to get the 3D design with the castle - but I tried!

    Thanks @AnneofAlamo, I did find this on sale for $2 which may help those of us using PSE do our shadowing especially to seperate the shadow layer. I’ve already got it ages ago but not played with it so this might be an awesome time to try.

    whew @AnneofAlamo you certainly blew my mind! I was so intimidated at first but once I decided on my shape and theme I had fun creating my little world. Hope my shadows are deep enough :)

    I didn't know what I was gonna do here but when I sat down...it all started to come together. What better world to create than the one inside my mind as an infj trying to lose weight has been HARD....I go from two extremes. Either being hard on myself and overthinking and then giving up....or being kind to myself and knowing that I can do this.

    The initial shape can be made with the shape tool or a few challenges back when we had to create a title out of a shape, you could use one of those as your starter.

    Wow! These layouts are all amazing and so many already! I am still working on yesterdays and will try to think of what I will do - thinking maybe the cover for my album
