I have started dabbling in hybrid pocket scrapping. I am using the Project Mouse and PL Honey edition to scrap our Disney album. I haven't really started using drop shadows yet. For my title cards, I am pretty much just adding the titles on the premade cards. Do you typically use drop shadows on title fonts? If so, what settings do you usually use?

I use drop shadow on just about anything when I think it looks good. I use full Photoshop, don't know what you're using- maybe an 8-11 distance, 0 spread, 10-13 size. I usually make the shadow a darker color of the surface the title or whatever is sitting on, rather than black, adjusting the opacity.

I don't ever do shadows on text, except for alphas that are meant to look like stickers or other dimensional items. It's a personal choice, of course, but in "traditional" digiscrapping (is that a fair description?) it's not very common. Stef is a bit of a maverick.  |

You're right, Gen, I never like to do things the conventional way! You know me so well!  The reason I shadow my words sometimes (rarely do I shadow journaling because it's so tiny, and it looks weird) is because I like a more dimensional look, and feel that titles can also be dimensional- not just like they are flat, like paper sitting on another piece of paper. I often add bevels, or make my titles look like they were cut out of the background instead of sitting on top. Just some ideas. |

It's funny... for being the "rebel" that I am, I'm such a rule-follower.
P.S. When are you coming to visit again?

I am with Gennifer, I don't use shadows for any text that is suppose to look like it's printed/typed on the object. Only if it's a dimensional type of text. And when I do, I use a shade of grey, not black. But the great thing about digi-scrapping, if you don't like it, change it! You haven't wasted anything!
