High Noon Crop

[April Showers]

Join me, April Showers, each Wednesday at 9 am Pacific, 10 am Mountain, 11 am Central and Noon Eastern Time for the High Noon Crop. These crops are designed to allow you to work on your own photos and themes simply giving participants a one hour goal and a fun, new challenge each week.

On November 19th we'll be doing a Brush Challenge! Try to use at least two brushes in your layout. New to using brushes? We will have some fun ideas and tips in the chat.

Create your layout and upload it to the special High Noon Crop and Challenge Gallery. You'll be amazed what you can get done in just one hour, but there is no High Noon Sheriff timing you! Hope to see you in the chat room!

I love brushes! We'll be out all day so I'm going to miss the chat, but I'm off to the gallery now to LSL on your adorable layout.

I'm a huge brush lover too - sorry I couldn't make it to the chat. Thanks for the great links, April.

 

BTW, I'd like to let you ladies know I have Mastering Brushes for Photoshop Elements, and it's an excellent resource.
