So finding the dingbat is a bit more complicated :-( To make a stroke: 1. Add text/color etc (same as above) 2. Go to Layer/Text to Selection (instead of "rasterize") 3. Go to Edit/Stroke Selection. The stroke color is the foreground color. There is no location/blending options like in the example but it really isn't needed for this. I have been collecting digi scrapbooking stuff for years (the Shabby products being my favorites), but I never got around to trying it. This blog (not just this post) has really made the process doable! Thank you very much for all the work you have put into this. Everything you do is of the highest quality out there.

All of the western images, as well as the "you can be my" font, are free fonts I found online. http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=26835&title=you-can-be-my-cowboy&cat=all Happy scrapping everyone!!

Maybe you'll even discover a 'happy accident'! About shadows though - I DEFINITELY think we should do Shadow Tips & Tricks soon! thanks so much for the suggestion! Also, if/when you get to the point where you're ready to "rasterize" the type, I think it might be called "Simplify" in PSE. So if you right click on a text layer and don't see "Rasterize", look for "Simplify" instead. Hope that helps! and we hope you share your creations in the gallery at the Shoppe!

The option is there when you right click on the image:) I'm so excited about this new discovery. Thanks for the start in the right direction!

Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question. I use Windows 7 and PSE 8. Can I create shadows in PSE? If so, can you do a tutorial on that? Thanks! This was a very cool idea. Thanks for the tutorial!
